Elliott'n'KS Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 First model I've built in over ten years. Been working on painting so far and am geting close to assembling time.
Elliott'n'KS Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Thanks guys. Really taking my time with this one. A bit rusty on my detailing skills.
Elliott'n'KS Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Here's some more progress. Still need to do some touch up before calling it done. Not a big fan of the body color I chose, doesn't cover well via rattle can. Definatly lots of lessons learned from this one.
Elliott'n'KS Posted April 6, 2015 Author Posted April 6, 2015 Wasn't pleased with the paint job on the body so I stripped it down. Looking around onlne I found that people have used Easy Off Heavy Duty oven cleaner. Worked like a charm. Little messy but the result is a clean slate to try again.
Roadrunner Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Better luck to you next time. I do like the color though.
Elliott'n'KS Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 Got the body painted again. Much better results this time. Pickup up some Timaya rattle can paint, covers much more evenly and clean compared to the Testors IMO. Need to do a little more clean up work before calling it done, but I'm pretty pleased with the results so far.
Elliott'n'KS Posted April 15, 2015 Author Posted April 15, 2015 Got it all finished up. Turned out pretty nice.
Elliott'n'KS Posted April 15, 2015 Author Posted April 15, 2015 Photos didn't upload for some reason last night. Here's the finished product.
Elliott'n'KS Posted April 15, 2015 Author Posted April 15, 2015 Thanks. I need to work on photographing them when they're done. The lighting in this room isn't the best.
