dublin boy Posted May 22, 2015 Author Posted May 22, 2015 It's still nice considering it's age. Got some primer on.
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 I really like this old kit. Fits together very well with just a little extra work, is scaled quite accurately, and lends itself to all manner of hot-rod interpretations. Nice to see a stocker being built too.
Pete L. Posted May 22, 2015 Posted May 22, 2015 Shay, Yes awesome paint, can't wait to see this one finished !!!
dublin boy Posted May 23, 2015 Author Posted May 23, 2015 Thanks guys. It's just straight out of a rattle can, not polished or cleared, sometimes I get very lucky. There is a lot of light coats on it though, I nearly used a whole 300ml Halfords can, which would be like Duplicolour in the US I think.
dublin boy Posted May 23, 2015 Author Posted May 23, 2015 Thanks Carl. I have the interior and hood/uptop sprayed light tan to give it a bit of a lift, pics to follow when I build up the windscreen.
peter31a Posted May 23, 2015 Posted May 23, 2015 It's looking lovely. Just for future reference if you decide to build another stock Model A. What appeared to be mold lines between the upper and lower cowl area (ahead of the doors) is actually the separation between the gas tank and the lower half of the body. You can see the separation line in this picture of a Tudor (above the red flower sticker.) As I said your build is coming along beautifully, just a hint for next time. Of course if the separation line is there just ignore me.....
dublin boy Posted May 23, 2015 Author Posted May 23, 2015 I pretty much went through it sanding on one side before I realised Peter, they're both there just about! I'm no expert on Fords this old. Thanks for the kind words.
MAGIC MUFFLER Posted May 24, 2015 Posted May 24, 2015 Definitely following this one. Looking beautiful!!! I love the Model A's
Stray Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Oh man it looks like you could drown in that black. Awesome dude.
Ace-Garageguy Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Wow! What a beautiful black paint job. And red wheels...good choices, great work. This should finish up very nicely.
dublin boy Posted May 25, 2015 Author Posted May 25, 2015 Thanks Bill. Mocked up interior and hood/uptop. It might be a bit light, but I think I'll keep it.
dublin boy Posted June 3, 2015 Author Posted June 3, 2015 My friend came in for a beer and put a smallblock in it when I wasn't looking. I didn't notice it until the next morning.
