TooOld Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 (edited) Did this quickie build over the weekend . A couple of hours painting , added R/C car taillights for the eyes , and 5 minutes to snap it together . Definitely a fun one !

Slimguy Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 You did a great job on the paint...the effect on the teeth really makes it stand out. I like the idea you had with the RC tail lights in the eyes. Very cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the recently reissued Tom Daniel kit by Atlantis Hobby . The finished model measures approx 5-1/2 inches tall not including the spike .

TooOld Posted March 20, 2019 Author Share Posted March 20, 2019 (edited) When I bought the taillights I also picked up a small harness with a controller and battery clip on it . Here's a short video of what the controller does . https://images108.fotki.com/v1629/photos/0/3660730/16125843/633470948-video.mp4 Edited March 20, 2019 by TooOld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showrods Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Great job Bob! A few questions if I may: 1. What brand of paint did you use? 2. What paint colours did you use? 3. How well were the parts chromed? 4. Do the stickers adhere well to the chrome? Do they stay stuck? 5. Do you have to do anything special to the chrome to make the stickers stick?

A couple of coats of Ivory on the skull then sprayed with some Dull-Cote . Then I mixed a wash using some Raw Umber and applied a few coats until the desired effect was achieved . The chrome is excellent in this kit , some of the best I've ever seen in a kit . Considering Atlantis doesn't normally do kits with any chrome this is a pleasant surprise ! The stickers are also excellent , the adhesive sticks immediately so there's no second chances here . Better get it right the first time !

I second the poster above's comments regarding your job on the teeth - well done. What paints and techniques did you use on those? I'm looking for techniques to use when I get this kit myself. It hasn't arrived yet in Canada yet - at least not in my neck the woods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Gore Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Great job overall but I'll also say the teeth and eyes are an outstanding detail touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's easy , the teeth are the unpainted plastic . They received a wash the same time as the skull . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Bob - when you say "unpainted plastic" did you paint the teeth directly on unprimed plastic or were the teeth primered and then painted with the Raw Umber wash?

Madhatter Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 This is by far one of the coolest versions of this kit I've seen. I love the eyes and especially the paint work on the skull. Really well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
