StevenGuthmiller Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 I love it!The "yuk colors" as you call them look very authentic for the period.They can't all be red & aqua.I think it's a great change.& it's nice to see one in stock configuration.

Snake45 Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Wow, very sharp looking! Did you use any kind of primer under that craft paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauercrew Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Thanks guys ,i thought the color might not be flashy enought (l.o.l)I put the tires on my lathe and put a brush in one of the tool holders and turn dial on cross slide until i got a little paint going,thats how i do all my tires now ,no more decals (l.o.l) snake no idont use primmer when i use those craft paints all i do is shot light coats then use hair dryer and repeat process until i get the desired color depth ,hair dryer works great and quick cause water base paint,i posted a while back the products that i use to thin the paint,i use a product called golden medium ,air brush medium and sometimes use liquitex flow aid,both products somewhat pricey but a little goes a long way ,plus it worth not having to deal with the fumes of the other reducers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumpyDan Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Well done, this looks awesome really good looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) I had the same idea. I am a fan of the craft paints as well, and I have a couple of "yuk" greys I was thinking about:-) two-toning something. Maybe that 55 Chevy sitting on the shelf. Edited April 29, 2017 by Igor .

bauercrew Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 Hey Snake ,i do it almost pretty much the way chris chapman does it, he has a great vid on you tube,the only thing different is i use the mentioned air brush mediums ,he uses water i believe,thats why i didnt do one,yes just follow his directions ,you have to play with mixture ratios JUST a tad bit,same with air pressure ,think he says he shoots at 20lbs,i have to shoot at 30lbs with my paashe h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 It wasn't until I got to the engine photo that I realized the pictures where not black and white. I like your color idea and it is more like what you would have seen at the time. Last year I built this same model but with the colors reversed, The body was TS-42 Light Gun Metal and the top and trunk with TS-38 Gun Metal. The interior I went with a bright red Bel Air style. Are you going to use the roll bars or stay a more basic build ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Model Mayhem Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 I think the colours you chose look fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also want to warn everyone about the newly re-released (new box art) 57 chevy black widow (number 47 on the door). There was a mix up at the factory and alot of those kits got the wrong bodies. They have recalled them but I was told that alot didn't get returned so just bare in mind that this kit could have the 57 chevy 2 door sedan belair body. I'd look for the original box art (number 64) or if you buy online make sure it's opened and there a picture of the contents. ie: 150 body...

hgbben Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 As mentioned I agree on the yuk colors you choose. I'm building the same kit myself with a root beer brown and white combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1Volsfan Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Love the color also and the job you did with the tires is excellent. Just started this kit and hope mine turns out half as nice as yours. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
