bisc63 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Beautiful body and paint work! This is the best build of that kit I've ever seen. It gets passed by a lot, but has funky 70s show car potential. Wasn't this a Tom Daniel design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Thibodeau Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Hi Chris! Very impressive work. Your sense of colors is obvious, not to mention the precision of your masking technique. World class. Bravo! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason R Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I’m pretty proud of this one, especially considering it was a glue bomb restoration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluestringer Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I keep trying to improve my paint jobs but can't seem to get it right. I first was using Rustoleum 2x spray paints, but lately I've been using craft paints and Createx paints. I've tried different clears and ended up just using Revive floor polish. The other day I decided to try something I remember doing 30 years ago before I quit the hobby. I was then using the little Testors bottle enamels spraying them with a cheap Testors plastic airbrush and a can of air. I thought it did a good job back then. So I tried it again using my Paasche H, mixing the enamel 50/50 with generic lacquer thinner. I think it did ok, needs improvement but it's probably better than what my results have been lately.

That looks really good James. I'm still stuck on the Createx paints as you have been using and I get pretty good results. My friend Bob ("Zippy") just got a great paint job on his current '40 Ford with the Tamiya Acrylic and I'm seriously considering giving it a try.

Brudda Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 A 49 merc custom. A revell kit. First custom for me. Seems like a cool kit. Mystic cobra color. Had some left over from a mustang cobra I painted a few years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought them several years ago. Should have bought more. I do remember it took 9 months to get them. I actually forgot about them , then they arrived. Thought I would try new custom and put them together on old custom. Just might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
