Lovefordgalaxie Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Started building this one about a month ago. Did the basic body prep, and had to put it aside due to work issues. What I had done was basically to fix the sink marks, a little flash, sand the mold lines, and also some corrections on the inscribed detail (or lack of). 1956 Ford Firlane Victoria WIP by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr The trunk shut line was way too shallow, so I deepened it almost all the way trough. This way I will have a nice panel line when the car is painted. 1956 Ford Firlane Victoria WIP by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr The panel lines I inscribed are the front fender separation lines from the cowl, and from the rockers. Also inscribed the separation lines from the quarter panels to the rear panel. 1956 Ford Firlane Victoria WIP by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1956 Ford Firlane Victoria WIP by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1956 Ford Firlane Victoria WIP by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr When I had to stop the build, I had the body parts in white primer just waiting for the color coats. 1956 Ford Firlane Victoria WIP by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr The car is going to be Colonial White and Fiesta red, bone stock, and mostly box stock. Right now i'm masking the body to receive the Colonial White. After painted, will let it dry for at least a week, as it's cold now, and white enamel takes forever to dry fully. Can't risk messing up the white while masking for the red, specially in the door jamb area.
John Goschke Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Nice work on those panel lines, Tulio! Especially the front fender separations!
espo Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Always enjoy your Ford builds. Your extra effort on the panel lines will payoff when you're done. Is it going to be a Crown Victoria or a straight Victoria ?
Lovefordgalaxie Posted July 21, 2017 Author Posted July 21, 2017 Thanks guys.It's going to be a Fairlane Victoria, sans Crown. Just waiting a hotter day to shoot the white.Foiled all badges and emblems that the white will cover.
superbike-shaun Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Hey Tulio,,,very nice prep,as always,,,i love all of your builds,,especially your ford buildz!
Slotto Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 Red and white is going to be sweet! You should paint her in MD. We are in a heat wave - it's been like 2 weeks now of 93+ no rain.
MeatMan Posted July 22, 2017 Posted July 22, 2017 I agree Túlio, very nice prep. I know how much work you put into it because I have the same kit that I never finished.Prefit all subassemblies because I found a lot of ill-fitting parts.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted July 22, 2017 Author Posted July 22, 2017 Thanks gentlemen. I agree Túlio, very nice prep. I know how much work you put into it because I have the same kit that I never finished.Prefit all subassemblies because I found a lot of ill-fitting parts. This one will be my third. Built one in black, one with a hopped up engine, in light green, and now this one. Not an easy kit, that's for sure.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted July 24, 2017 Author Posted July 24, 2017 Ok gentlemen. Some updates. I did the foiling on the emblems that will be under white paint soon. That was already done, 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria WIP by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria WIP by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr What I did today was to take the parts that will be red and white and mask them to receive the white. Dis the corners and the doors with Tamiya tape, and the rest with regular masking tape. 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria WIP by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria WIP by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria WIP by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria WIP by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr All I need now is a hot day for starting to shoot white paint everywhere!!
Lovefordgalaxie Posted September 14, 2017 Author Posted September 14, 2017 Well gentlemen, I'm very sorry about the delay on this one. I forgot about keeping the WIP thread...Well, that's the reason I don't have all that many WIPs.The car is not ready yet, but it's close, so I'll post what i've being doing, so you guys are up to date.

I dropped it, and stepped on the thing while looking for it. yes, quite bad. had to stole the hood from a unbuilt kit, and start again with it, and that took a while.

kymdlr Posted September 14, 2017 Posted September 14, 2017 During your painting process, what are you using to attach the parts to the popsicle sticks?

Geno Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Wow, that looks exceptional Tulio, she'll be a beauty when it's done.
David G. Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 Excellent work as always! It's nice to see the progress photos, thanks for sharing them.David G.
smhardesty Posted September 15, 2017 Posted September 15, 2017 (edited) Hey, Tulio. I'm a newbie to building, or a re-newbie after about 50 years. The attention to detail you show is incredible to me. This thing is looking fantastic. Hope you don't mind a newbie type question. I noticed where you foiled the emblems, then painted the white. A few posts later I see that the emblems are bright and shiny again, but you didn't mention how you got the white paint off the emblems. How is that done?
