StevenGuthmiller Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 I'll join in with the hallelujah chorus. I don't know how you and so many of our members can do such amazing work in 1/24-25. Thanks Skip! I agree, there is plenty of inspiration around here! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drake69 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Yeah... there's not much more I can say that hasn't already been said here, except I could SWIM in that blue colored ocean you painted that car with. Incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I just got a pretty good deal on a rebuilder '59 convertible. Body was done decently, I might do some detail painting, paint the interior and call it done. I'm not looking forward to doing those little tiny strips of chrome on the top of the fins. Steve- love it. Great colors, and always a great build. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try using some blue painters tape as a guide for trimming the BMF & it really goes quite well. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Wow, just doesnt seem fitting enough I must say , you are definitly the master of these old annuals Indeed. Great colors for it too.

edward smith Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Love the panel line work, something I've always looked at when seeing a really well and built model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Thank you all! This was one of those builds that I just wasn't sure how it was going to look in this color combo until final assembly. Even though I was apprehensive, I was happy with the final result.

StevenGuthmiller Posted April 15, 2015 Author Share Posted April 15, 2015 Another vintage model turned masterpiece! Say, did you ever finish that ' 62 Galaxie vert? No, I have yet to finish it. I was less than happy with the paint job on that one. I may have to get more paint & shoot another coat or 2 on it. For some reason, I used an entire 1 oz. jar of paint on it & it still is not a uniform color. May have been a rare bad jar of paint from MCW.
