Eric Macleod Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 This is really exceptional. Nothing nor to like here. I strongly agree with the others about your color selection. It is very appropriate for the car and the era.
geetee66 Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Wow!It looks like a 1:1 in a brochure.Colour suits it. Restrained glamour.
Mr Stock Posted January 16, 2017 Author Posted January 16, 2017 A super nice neat clean build. It's such a odd kit to have survived. I mean there are plenty other kits of the era that I wish had survived but long gone........was this mold sitting un-noticed in the corner of the vault?? I'm glad it did make it as it;s a great look at AMT in the era. Hope you don't mind my build...... Dave I don't mind at all, that is awesome !! When I was building this one I thought how strange it was that this particular kit survived, I wish the same could be said of the 64 Pontiac Bonneville and Grand prix ?
hedotwo Posted January 16, 2017 Posted January 16, 2017 Thanks Bill !, I'm happy with the colour, guesswork for me as we can't get correct paint for US cars in the UK.The Molotow chrome markers are very good I will say that much, if you let it dry thoroughly 24 hrs or so it does stay put, however I think if you handled the model too much it would dull the finish, you can always retouch it up however with no issues. They're no replacement for BMF but I think they certainly have a place in all modellers toolbox. I've used various chrome markers over the years and found that while they are a time saver and look very acceptable, they all had issues with "unexpected flow" .... always at the wrong time. Seems the tips would occasionally deposit more chrome than I was counting on. That said, I haven't tried this brand and I see they have very small tips available. I'm going to give them a try. I'm ok with foiling for the most part, but there are definitely times when a marker would be the ticket.
Mr Stock Posted January 17, 2017 Author Posted January 17, 2017 Thankyou again for all the kind comments all, I best get on and build the other 40 odd screw bottom kits I have in the stash !
