Intmd8r Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 It pains me to do this, but I began sanding down the finish. The build did not survive the move well. Maybe this time I will have this build finished for the 2019 show lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan barton Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 It always hurts to go backwards, especially on a beautiful black finish like that. Earlier this year I went to polish out a very small blemish on a black 32 roadster. I had a major brain fart and started polishing with Tamiya PUTTY, not Tamiya COMPOUND. Similar tubes, radically different results! You've got some stunning proportions on this little roadster. I'm a big fan of suicide front ends but they are not easy to get looking right and this one really hits the high notes for me. Love the half tonneau as well. Good luck with the repairs!

Intmd8r Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Thanks for the kind support guys. What happened here was 100% freak accident. I was at the workbench trying to fix my sons broken toy with CA glue. Must have released an air bubble when I took the cap off because this big glob went soaring through the air, over my left arm , and onto the side of the freshly finished paint job . All of which was stored "safely" 3ft away from my work area. Couldn't recreate that shot even if I tried. Nothing I could do but let the glue cure and sand it off.

Can-Con Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 (edited) Might be a good idea to rethink that shelf in the last pic on page 1 there Steve. Looks like it could come down on top of those models any minute. Edited January 10, 2019 by Can-Con Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Super cool black rod. This is the kind of model that made me want to build model cars to begin with, way back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
