Dyno Davo Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Thought I'd get a little ambitious with this one and go for the low and slow style. I based it on an Alexander Bros style at the front and totally re-worked the hood, headlights and grille opening. I added a floating front bar and recessed mesh grille. I filled in the back fenders and blended the skirt into the back of the quarter. New side moudling were sculptured into the door. Handles were shaved. Side pipes were added. The color is Tamiya Pearl Green, Tamiya Pearl White with a light green flake over-sprayed. Interior got bucket seats, a waterfall full flow through centre console, matching carpet and a 55 Thunderbird dashboard, all custom green knobs and an green acrylic gear shift knob.

Yenkocamaro Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Nice work, David! I love customs, and have been trying to figure out a full skirt on Ertl's 1/18 51 Mercury. It has the small skirts that fit close to the wheelwell, but I like the full custom skirts you usually see on (49-51) Mercs. I'm thinking of layering plastic sheet, and then forming the curves by filing and sanding. Your Vicky is 1/18 scale?

AzTom Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 I'm guessing 1/18, That is some serious model building. Love the style and color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
