Manx buggy in green

[crazyjim]

I finished this little guy last week but forgot to post pics.  I shot the body with HOK limetime green followed by a coat of Krylon green glitter paint.  Pretty wild stuff.

That's an awesome colour for a buggy.

Thanks Mike.

Sparkley ! Interesting color combo.

I had one of the Manx kits bookmarked at Model Roundup, but deleted it yesterday as I'm quite sure now that I'll never build one. It certainly reminds me of my youth though, as I built a couple of them way back when.

   Jim, That's the Perfect Chartreuse Giant Metal Flake that belongs on a Manx. Well Done!!

Love It -the color choices, and the engine detail!!   Q: what did you use for the texture on your floorboards?, mine doesn't look that good.

[crazyjim]

Thank you all very much.

Dann the floorboards were shot with texture paint.  I think it's Krylon from Wal-Mart.  It also looks good as a bedliner and undercoating and comes in a variety of colors.

Thanx, Jim, Bet it takes a while to dry?

Jim I love it! That color is soooo Manx!

I have only one "Dune Buggy" kit. The old Tom Daniels Sand Crab which I don't believe ever existed as an actual car. Sure would be fun to build someday as if it were street worthy!

[crazyjim]

I try to do light coats and let it dry overnight.

Thank you Bill.

Love the sparkly finish! This is one of the few places you can get away with using that type of paint.

[crazyjim]

Thanks Snake.  I think it looks perfect on a dune buggy.
