talon63 Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 My take on the 67 Dodge Coronet. Again, mostly right out of the box, with a few flourishes. Feedback appreciated.
'70 Grande Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Beautiful build! Your paint and detailing work looks excellent! I really like the windshield washer fluid in the clear tank; how'd you get that to look so realistic?
talon63 Posted November 14, 2015 Author Posted November 14, 2015 Thanks for kind words!Washer fluid reservoir was achieved with a Blue Sharpie, in this case a Bic Mark-it permanent marker, applied to the inside and outside of the reservoir. I could have used flat white and a tint to make it look more like the original, but I like how this one turned out. The permanent markers are fairly translucent, so they are useful in creating some nice effects. I've used a red on chrome parts with Elmer's Clear Glue over it to create tail light lenses when I don't like the ones that come with a kit. I'm kind of a scrounge builder, re-purposing odd bits of stuff to fashion parts I need. Like the white plastic pull tabs from milk and juice cartons, they can be turned into air cleaner covers or interesting hubcaps with very little effort.
Cardz Posted November 22, 2015 Posted November 22, 2015 Overall a good look, I like that color. Is a color changer deal? Not sure if you used a clear coat. From the pics it looks as if you didn't, unless you were going for a semi gloss look. The metallic paints I've used all need a clear top coat to reallyake them pop.Like I said everything looks really clean and done well. Oh the chrome trim on the hood goes under not on top.
