Porscheman Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) I just wanted to know if I could do it. I did a FB challenge. Soup to nuts in the shortest amount of time. How it look??? Al Edited November 15, 2015 by Porscheman
Greg Pugh Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Geeeez! TWO HOURS!??? That's awfully nice! Lol Paint, foil, and everything!?? Edited November 15, 2015 by gpugh1976
Porscheman Posted November 15, 2015 Author Posted November 15, 2015 Greg, Paint, BMF, window tint, everything. I'm a little stoned from the fumes Al
Greg K Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 all those small details in 2 hours! i really like that model of Ford. was it a nice kit to build, or do you remember?
StevenGuthmiller Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Unbelievable!Outside of the paint having far too much metallic in it, I think it looks pretty nice! Steve
cobraman Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Hey Al, are those earth hours ? : ) Looks good, I don't know how you do it.
restoman Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 Two consecutive hours or two hours total? Either way, it looks pretty darn good.
Porscheman Posted November 15, 2015 Author Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) Unbelievable!Outside of the paint having far too much metallic in it, I think it looks pretty nice! SteveI started this at 2:30 this afternoon and was finished at 4:30. Steven, I primered the body with Tamiya Military mediun blue and I thought the Testors Diamond Mist was a pearl overcoat. Boy was I wrong, you can't even see the blue. The diamond over powered it and this is what I was left with. When your doing a quick build for a contest, you don't have the luxury of a repaint.Thanks everyone for the nice comments.Al Edited November 15, 2015 by Porscheman

The diamond over powered it and this is what I was left with. When your doing a quick build for a contest, you don't have the luxury of a repaint. Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Al I've found that the Testors lacquer metallics are all far too large for 1/25th scale. It really kind of irritates me that a company that makes paint for largely 1/25th scale can't seem to get their metallics a little closer. People complain about the kit companies getting a body line slightly off on a particular kit. This is completely inexcusable to me. It would not be difficult to change their formula slightly to get that a little closer to correct. Seems to be total laziness! But, all that said, you did a terrific job on this Ford......& speedy too! Steve
Crusader101 Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Excellent build, really nice.2 hours? I'd still be reading the instruction sheet!
slusher Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 Super nice Al. I spend that much time looking at the parts...
Dominik Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 i think, you are cheating ...you're hiding us "a.m." an "p.m." its a miracle for me, how you made the paint dry so fast...crazy guy - yes you are!
Greg K Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Excellent build, really nice.2 hours? I'd still be reading the instruction sheet!haha! or trying to remove the cellophane from the box!
Porscheman Posted November 17, 2015 Author Posted November 17, 2015 Thanks again everyone. I have perfected how to accelerate drying time on my paint jobs. 1st I never use enamel, 2nd I have small space heaters, that makes drying in a couple of minutes.Al
charlie8575 Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Jump-start on LIARS' theme. Well, other than the Tamiya Silver Leaf paint.For two hours, that came out remarkably well.Charlie Larkin
Mr Stock Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Looks unbelievably good for 2 hours Al, Ill take my hat off to you very impressive. In 2 hours Id still be getting rid of mold lines and maybe would have glued the engine halves together !
Sledsel Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Wow..... I'd be trying to figure out how I want to build it still. Looks great.
Againmikewins Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 I could spend 2 weeks on mine and it still wouldn't look this nice! Great work!I have '69 and '70 Galaxies sitting on the shelf right now. The '70 4 door is waiting for the Modelhaus conversion kit to arrive! I love the big Ford cars from the mid 60's to 1970.
mustang1989 Posted November 18, 2015 Posted November 18, 2015 Great work for 2 hours worth. I'd be barely getting done with the sprue washing and cutting the first part from them in two hours.
