RT6PK Posted February 15, 2017 Posted February 15, 2017 This is the first model that I built right out of the box without having to change or modify anything in many many years. Revell really nailed it with this one. 2

Farmboy Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 I did this one with three shades of craft paint over a gold base. The black was rattlecan flat black. 1
Intmd8r Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 Amazing work with the tiger stripes - especially with the use of rattle cans.
Straightliner59 Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 This is an old Monogram kit I built about 30 years ago, I think. The color scheme is based on a hot rod in one of Henry Gregor Felsen's books (Hot Rod, Street Rod--not sure which, now.). The book's car was a pink coupe with copper colored wire wheels. The paint is a layered combination of Gunze acrylics and some pearl powder that a group of us shared from an auto paint supply store. I displayed it at GSL, back in the '80s, at some point. Mark Gustavson told me that, had I entered it, I'd have won Best Paint, that year. Live and learn, I reckon!
Draggon Posted February 28, 2017 Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) Beautiful paint Daniel, the pearl makes it really glow. Funny that you mention Felsen's book, that's the first book I ever purchased. I must say the picture I had in my mind back then ( 1962? ) was certainly a different shade of pink though Edited February 28, 2017 by Draggon

Love the shot of the Magicar in your avatar.

nutboltu Posted March 3, 2017 Posted March 3, 2017 The green one used to be a basic blue Hotwheels 1:64 model. It was a good casting that needed a bit of sanding to smoothen out the casting marks. And then i went crazy on the detailing. Placed next to a Minichamps 934 for comparison.
carl63_99 Posted March 6, 2017 Posted March 6, 2017 I won a Lincoln Mint '69 Daytona in a raffle at the San Antonio Modelfiesta. No interest in building a diecast, but the 5-spokes and white-letter tires were awesome. So, I decided it was time to update the shoes on my '69 Super Bee. After that, I opted to upgrade the exhaust with polished aluminum and give it a nice waxing. Still looks nice for being painted 20 years ago. 1
64Comet404 Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 This is one of the best paint jobs I have laid down. AMT 1966 Lincoln Continental with a HoK Kopper Pearl paint job. 1
