Tyler62990 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 So I'm calling this 55 done. It was supposed to be a quick slumpbuster, but I decided to swap out the engine, take a crack at painting two tones, give metal foil a shot and try out a few other techniques I've never used. I guess a learning experience is better than slapping something together any day. Thanks for looking guys!
W-409 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Very nice work! This kit definitely requires some work to make it better...I started mine and I was going for a fast & simple, stressless summer project in 2014 and guess what? It's still in progress! You did a great job with this. I like how those colors fit together and good looking paint job too. BMF looks very goo too especially if it's really your first attempt. Great work overall, you did a great work.
Tyler62990 Posted December 17, 2015 Author Posted December 17, 2015 Yeah, this was definitely more work than I thought it would be. When I saw the parts count I kinda figured it was going to be a chore. I thought it was a fun build, though. Everything was warped so that was frustrating, but a couple clamps beat it into submission. Anyway, yeah, up until now I've built mostly 30s and 40s with very little chrome trim that I usually do with paint. I wanted to practice on this one before I throw my 59 Impala on the bench haha. It was a pain. Actually, it was a royal pain. I laid some THICK paint on the already soft scribing and raised details, so it became a free handing nightmare. Sooooo worth it in the end though. Anyway, thanks for the compliment. I really appreciate it
Nacho Z Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Very nice, Tyler. Great color combo and stance. I really like "the look" of it.
GTJUNIOR Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Not really my taste, but very neat and clean looking build.
louie Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Wow! Way nice. The whole car looks fantastic but I can't take my eyes off of that engine and bay. It's simply gorgeous. Nice, Nice, Nice, Nice. Thank you. Jeff
bobthehobbyguy Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Nice work. Very clean. Great paint choices. Like that the blower lurks under the hood .
High octane Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 I'm a big "gasser fan" Tyler and I'm likin' your build, nice job!
DumpyDan Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Very cool, like the rear tires nice touch. Well done!
MeatMan Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 My fav tri-five! Very well done. I love that engine!
