My uncle had one in this color. His was a straight six with 3 on the tree. It got "parked" after a while when it started having more problems than he could keep up with. Looking great, keep up the good work.
Looks like a fun project. Haven't used the decal kit, but the decal bonder spray works pretty good. The only drawbacks I've run into on printing decals is that you can't do metallics without having an ALPS printer.
Looking great! Are you going to do the top on this one? How about an engine. The work on your Tatra was amazing and I can't wait to see how this turns out. Pure artistry.
I WANT the Cutlass kit! Glad to see The Jo-Han kits are getting a second chance. It was a shame they fell out of issue in the first place, most of them were outstanding.
Did my first "carpeted" interior on a Galaxie '48 Chevy Fleetline. Hobby Lobby has some pretty neat colors of embossing powder. I painted the base color then after it dried I used brushed-on Testor's Acryl dullcoat as an adhesive and sprinkled on the powder. It's worth it to pick up one of the little trays that has a pour spout at one end so you can recycle the overflowed powder.
Any and all Jo-Han kits you can do! Especially the unusual 50's and 60's cars. Question, is this the same IMC that produced the "Little Red Wagon" Dodge Pickup and the 1948 Ford convertibles?
I use Acryl paints almost exclusively instead of standard enamels and don't have any problems at all. Haven't tried them in the airbrush yet, but the interiors and other components all come out fantastic. I've heard using alcohol to thin them works really well. We'll find out!
Yep, very nice museum. I do warn you that if you go, do so in the fall or on a cooler day. They aren't air conditioned well. But their collection if fantastic. I've got loads of pics and as soon as I get the time, I will post them.
