Normally I'm not a big fan of green cars but I'd love to have a 1:1 like that in my driveway and that kit on my shelf. Great work!

Ferbz Posted March 6, 2024 Posted March 6, 2024 Here is one of the rare occasions that I'm actually happy with the way the paint scheme turned out on this personal project lol Chopped/customized 62 Belair bubbletop. Exterior paint is lacquer, gloss black on top and candy tangerine fades over slightly orange tinted white pearl: 20

Claude Thibodeau Posted March 6, 2024 Posted March 6, 2024 Hi Ferby! Absolutely perfect, and "Watsonesque". Bravo! CT 1
Ferbz Posted March 8, 2024 Posted March 8, 2024 Here's another one of my favorite paint jobs that didnt blow up on me lol My customized AMT 57 Chrysler was built many years ago painted primarily with Plastikote nitrocellulose spray can lacquers. The basecoat is Plastikote's Metallic Gold. The panel pattern was masked off then Black fogging was airbrushed on. Plastikote's Candy Apple Red was sprayed next then the masking was removed. I then airbrushed a couple coats of decanted Plastikote Clear with some gold powder pearl mixed into it. Final clear coats were sprayed straight from the can then wet sanded/polished. As far as I can tell, Plastikote no longer makes their line of nitrocellulose spray can paints which I sorely miss! 10
Claude Thibodeau Posted March 8, 2024 Posted March 8, 2024 Hi Ferby! Very nice! That technique of "panel painting", with contrasting shading UNDER the candy coat was sooooooo popular back then, and for good reasons. But I feel your previous post is even more of a feat. Rare are modelists today that spend so much attention on custom jobs, and you certainly rose to the call. CT 2

That whole 'Larry Watson era' sparked custom painting trends that we still see today! Traditional custom paint and body modifications are my favorite model subjects. As a result, I've spent lots of time and energy studying and iterating on ideas I'd like to see in scale and in 1:1 ? 1
Bugatti Fan Posted March 27, 2024 Posted March 27, 2024 Not looked at this thread for a bit. Donato's Ridge Runner is a very impressive build.

I have a few builds that have made it into the magazines, but they will be older builds during the days I lived in CA and attended the many model shows out there ?
Brudda Posted April 14, 2024 Posted April 14, 2024 Hello guys, saw this. It’s beautiful but very, very expensive. Body only. 1
styromaniac Posted April 15, 2024 Posted April 15, 2024 (edited) Ive seen this update of an old Renwal classic at the last two IPMS model shows Ive been to...in Richmond and Fairfax Va. Theres plenty of excellent glossy paint jobs at these shows...but I admire this one for its tasteful subtleness...a fusion of muted satiny champaign gold and coppery brown. And according to the builder its all Alclad ! Credit for this build goes to Keith Hudson of Silver Spring Md. Edited April 15, 2024 by styromaniac 3
Bugatti Fan Posted May 8, 2024 Posted May 8, 2024 Been having another more lengthy look at this thread since last time. So many brilliant paint paint jobs to admire, and the sheer variety is outstanding to view. The model that Keith Hudson built shown in the last post, was it a Renwall Revival Exner Duesenberg?

It's not without it's hiccups (like most of my builds lol) but it's a build that actually translated pretty well from how I imagined it in my head ? 1

Yes...it was one of those rare Renwall Revival kits. Keith was able to adapt much of an AMT '59 Fury kit to enhance the detailing.
