Nick F40 Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Wow, this build is sweet! I like the color and the wheels a lot. I love that engine to!
Bernard Kron Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Oh so tasty! Wonderful choice of colors. What is the off white you used on the firewall and perhaps the exhaust and undercarriage details? It complements the metallic orange beautifully. And is that a satin finish or just the result of an impeccably smooth metallic paint job and very diffuse lighting? BTW, you have to like how in-scale that metallic turned out. Any tips on how to achieve that?

The white is tamiya pearl white over cheep flat white on the copper from HOK its the small 2oz pre mix bottles for air brushes all I did was shoot it from the airbrush comes out satin on the pearls
Bernard Kron Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 ...on the copper from HOK its the small 2oz pre mix bottles for air brushes all I did was shoot it from the airbrush comes out satin on the pearls So the "secret" is to shoot the transparent over pearl to get that in-scale metallic effect? And if you had wanted to go for high gloss then you would have shot over the whole thing... (although I thnik the satin is just right, not too matt).

RatRod Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 I've been waiting for that one to surface again Tom, it's great!!! I was going to ask if you omitted the clear to keep the duller HOK, but you already answered it... I do like the satin finish on this one, they can't all be shiny!!!
tim boyd Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Tom your build is super clean and shows a great theme carried tbhrough. I woiul be proud to call ths my own. Congratulations. TIM BOYD

m408 Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Just great Tom. Can't you just picture cruising to the drive in on Saturday night in it?

dub Posted March 18, 2008 Posted March 18, 2008 Looks great, Tom! You reminded me that I don't need to do all my colors glossy..... Satin colors are OK too!
SnuzBox Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 Very nice build - and that thing is super CLEAN! Perfect color combo! Thanks for sharing this one.
Guest Gramps-xrds Posted March 19, 2008 Posted March 19, 2008 That's a tuff lookin car. I really like the wheels. That's what they used to run in the late 50s, early 60s.
OLDERGUY Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Where's the headlight bar? How'd ya get the lights to stick? First off I know you used glue, but they don't seem to be in the usual place, I have a hard enought time with headlights to the bar thn on the cars. I've started pinning the bars. Just asking.
