1962 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud II by Minicraft Models: WIP
David G. replied to David G.'s topic in WIP: Model Cars
Hello Everybody! Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control, my bench time of late has been sporadic at best. So I do what I can, when I can, as I can. The second sanding and filing session reveals some gaps that need filled. Time to grab the baking soda! On this side, there are just a few pin-holes. I should be able to fill these in with putty. The front is coming along quite nicely. It's time to start thinking about paint colors. I'll be using DupliColor Champaign Pearl... and maybe black If I decide to two-tone it. I think I've decided on using the black primer under the gold. That's it for this round. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to post a comment. David G. -

1981 "Fast 111's" Corvette 1:32 Scale by MPC: Finished
David G. replied to David G.'s topic in Model Cars
Hello Everybody! I know that this one is technically done but I just couldn't help myself. I have a handful of these neat little plastic containers from Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolates and I've been wanting to do something with them for quite some time. I always figured that they would make a decent little display case for 1:32 scale model cars so I thought I'd give it a shot with this Corvette. I started out using the lid of one of the containers to cast a Hydrocal plaster base but this turned out to be too heavy so I sculpted one from particleboard. I sprayed some gray primer on the wooden base and some gloss black sprayed inside the plastic lid. Test fitting the lid, it looks like everything is going to work well together. I sanded down the lugs on the top corners of the lid and tried to polish it out. I'm not sure if the result is due to the plastic of the lid or my skill level but this is as clear as I could get it. My goal in doing this was as a gift to my wife so she could have a model that I built for her office at work. With that in mind, to keep everything secure I drilled some holes in the base so the car could be wired in place, then I used a couple drops of canopy glue to secure the top. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G. -
The roof and grille mods work well, I can't wait to see more. David G.
