I like your idea. I remember these trucks when they used to come to the house and install your new phones or if you had a problem with your present units. Now wwe don't even have a "Land Line" and we go to a store and buy our phones.
The trim is all looking good. As for the taillights being hard to see. They were that way on the 1:1 car as well unless the lights were on or the brake lights, just nature of the design.
To me it looks like the spray nozzle might be partially blocked causing small droplets to form and be propelled onto the model's surface. The other possibility may have to do with your humidity levels. Hawaii is a beautiful place but is also known for high humidity.
Beautiful looking Nomad. I like the outdoor picture with the sun bouncing off the bumper. Great color combination and the matching interior. I agree, this is a great kit. You can easily use a good part of a sheet of foil on one of these.
Serring looking color. I do like it and the finish looks great. I enjoyed watching your bild and like how you detailed the engine and interior. The 1:1 was one of Ford's better ideas in my mind anyway.
I agree with everyone else on the color and the finish looks almost like you could forgo a clear coat. I didn't realize that this kit had two different exhaust systems, great idea.
What do I want in life ? Well first off winning the lottery would go a long way making it a lot easier to take care of any other problems in life. Models: I would like to see a come back of the old 3 in 1 concept from model making companies. A little more effort to better locate spruce attachment points on chrome trees.
This build looks so realistic, especially with the background settings. Watching your builds are always informative, will miss following them in the future and hope that whatever is taking you away may change in the future.
With the grill changes, done for a much better appearance, this doesn't look like an Imperial anymore. The trunk lid looks much better without the "Toilet Seat" on the lid.
About the only thing I might add to the information you have already gotten from others, is keeping even color coats over whatever base you use. Being a tinted clear paint you can easily get one area with a heavier coat of paint than another area and the results may not be what you're after. Practice on plastic spoons or any old parts you may have. Even the spruce from a kit will help you get a feel for curved surfaces.
