geetee66 Posted December 11, 2016 Posted December 11, 2016 Sweet!That's got me singing 'little deuce coupe' in my head.If I could make one suggestion...?If you have some Tamiya flat clear paint, give the seats a coat, to knock off the shine (Unless you wanted a shiny vinyl look, then ignore what i said)I'm going to try that SpazStix paint. i dunno if they sell it here.
Johnt671 Posted December 12, 2016 Author Posted December 12, 2016 I see your from the UK. I got Spaz Stix on E-Bay, maybe your E-Bay over there would have it? The place I got it from sells radio control car stuff, so maybe you could find it that way. That's a good suggestion on the seat. I used Future on them. I may remove that and see if it can take some of the shine off. Thanks.
PorkChopPaws Posted December 13, 2016 Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) That chrome paint is amazing but I can already hear her "11 dollars a can are you nuts?!? Paint it black!!!" Edited December 13, 2016 by PorkChopPaws
Johnt671 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Posted December 13, 2016 I couldn't get the edge on the running board right so I gave up and went over the edge of the fender to get a straight line. I also got blue paint on the lake pipes so I have to respray them.
Johnt671 Posted December 17, 2016 Author Posted December 17, 2016 I'm done with this one. I finished a few days ago, and when I tried to take it downstairs for pictures, the windshield fell out and knocked the tach off the steering column. The tach fell in the interior, so I dumped it out on my table, were it then disappeared. My wife found the task on the bed halfway across the room. No clue how it made it there, I swear I didn't throw it. So I used a resin tach I had and a white faced gauge face. It looks better then the black one that was originally used. Done picture. More will be posted in the Under Glass section. Thanks for checking the build out.
Ace-Garageguy Posted December 17, 2016 Posted December 17, 2016 Nice little model. This kit often gets a bad rap, but you've shown that it can build up into a very attractive piece. Good work.
