Well after over two years sitting on the shelf I decided to blow off the dust and try and finish this bad a*$ pony. I stalled on this build when it came time to mask off the car for the second color. For whatever reason I couldn't get the masking correct which caused me to loose interest. The other week I was sitting in a Google + Hangout and picked it up and started masking. I found the masking to be a bit challenging due to the contour of the body.
Here is the second color that will be going on. Model Masters Dark Blue
Next it was time for the decals. After doing some SciFi builds I felt I was ready to handle these decals but I was wrong. When I placed the decals in the water and went to remove them from the backing a collection of glue SNOT collected and was visible through the decals. They also curled like crazy. What I ended up doing was setting up my Micro Sol brush and dragging the decals across it to remove the snot. Then I applied the decals to the car. Not an easy task for a two armed person.
The contours of the body also proved to be a bit challenging as they were with the masking.
So far only one casualty. I did my best to fix it with some paint.
This one should be finished soon.
Thanks for looking
