Safire6 Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 New guy here and posting pics for the first time.....hope this works! My first car was a '65 Ford Galaxie 500 that I bought from my parents in 1975. The paint scheme on the model matches that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donb Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) One of my favorite cars. I think that styling was exceptional. You did the car justice too. Great color combo. Edited November 4, 2017 by donb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovefordgalaxie Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Welcome!! And great choice for first post, just the best looking car of the '60s. Very nicely done. Try your hand at foiling it, and it will look even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbowser Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Great model, those of cars we've owned are the most satisfying. Keep them coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Great looking model. I'll bet the original served you well. I also agree wit the others the White with a Red interior has a very classic look that will never go out of style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovefordgalaxie Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Thanks everyone for your comments! But Tulio-what is foiling? I've got a lot to learn from you guys and girls! Steve Foiling is using metal foil to simulate the real chrome trim on model cars. There is a commercial product called bare Metal Foil, that is the easiest way to do it. Imagine household aluminum foil, with adhesive backing. Cut a piece slightly larger than the trim you want to "chrome", apply it on the model, burnish it well, and cut the excess with a brand new hobby knife. I make my own foil, but BMF can be found easily on ebay. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnyC0MmXLDw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Safire6 Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 Thanks for the explanation and video Tulio! I'll give that a try on one of my next builds. Possibly on a '68 VW Beetle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Caballo Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 I'm almost done with the same model, but mine is a bit different take, soon to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hmann68 Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Love your Galaxie! As the others said, the color combo is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
