Dragline Posted September 23, 2015 Posted September 23, 2015 I love that Powerslide sheet. I bought one for both this and the Petty car. Or is my Petty sheet a Mikes? Your work is excellent. Subscribed. Bob
Belugawrx Posted September 26, 2015 Posted September 26, 2015 Looking great James !Every piece looks like it's been weathered or used...I'm a fanCheers
Hayabusa Posted September 27, 2015 Posted September 27, 2015 Great build! What paint/color did you use?
Bill_Jobson Posted September 28, 2015 Posted September 28, 2015 Looking great - is the paint "Poppy Red"?
JTRACING Posted September 29, 2015 Author Posted September 29, 2015 Thanks!, no it's not poppy red I just used duplicolor hugger orange over red primer
JTRACING Posted November 19, 2015 Author Posted November 19, 2015 Hey, I did do a bit more on the engine. Just been working on some other builds lately. But I think I'll get back on this car for a while now, there's just so much clean up on the parts I haven't wanted to work on it lol. sorry the other pics are gone, something happened with my albums on the tinypic site.
JTRACING Posted November 20, 2015 Author Posted November 20, 2015 heres a few mock up pics so you guys can see how shes looking! im not quite done polishing the paint out, i found a couple spots that need a bit more sanding out!
Hayabusa Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Looking really good. Nice paintjob and I like the sublte chipping.
Loadmat Posted November 20, 2015 Posted November 20, 2015 Beautiful!! Just picked this up @ Hobby Lobby for $23.00. Do you scratchbuild the hose clamps etc., or is there an aftermarket source in 1/16?Gregor

Not sure about aftermarket parts I've just been using random wires and jewelry beads for my fittings and stuff. Only aftermarket stuff is the decal sheet and seatbelt buckles which are actually 1/20 scale lol
Belugawrx Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Nice James !This is making me want to get back at it, Thanks for the inspiration.Your weathering / painting is always spot on,...what wash do you use ? Over Acrylics?Cheers

Over Acrylics?Cheers thanks! I don't really use washes, I mainly "dry brush" artist oils over my stuff, If I want a more dirty look I'll cover the area completely in a dark color oil paint and then wipe it off and blend it out with a soft brush.dry brushing white over hoses and wires is a simple way to get a realistic effect!
Belugawrx Posted November 23, 2015 Posted November 23, 2015 specifically,... the 90 * brass comp. fittings.. off the water pump Cheers
JTRACING Posted November 23, 2015 Author Posted November 23, 2015 specifically,... the 90 * brass comp. fittings.. off the water pump CheersThose are crimp beads from Michaels, they come round, but they are brass and I held them in tweezers and filed them into hex shapes, the bend is aluminum mechanics wire, just happened to be the right size.
JTRACING Posted January 30, 2016 Author Posted January 30, 2016 Still working on this one! Finally got the tires finished
'70 Grande Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Wow! Everything about this build is first-rate! I'm looking forward to seeing it cross the finish-line!
JTRACING Posted January 31, 2016 Author Posted January 31, 2016 Thanks! Here's some more progress, windows, hood pins
