harti20 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Hi all Today I'll show you pictures from one of my latest builds, a 1914 Stutz Bearcat. The kit was from mpc and according to scalemates it was produced in 1974, which was quite noticeable in some points during building. The seats have been upholstered with very thin genuine leather from an old glove. I hope you enjoy the pics. Don't hold back with critique and plaudits Urs
David G. Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Excellent work, it looks great from every angle. Did you hand paint the gold trim or is it decals? David G.
harti20 Posted October 4, 2019 Author Posted October 4, 2019 Thank you David The gold trim is a mix of airbrushing and hand painting because the airbrushing did not work out that well... Urs
Peter Lombardo Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Very well done, not what we are used to seeing here so it is a welcome change of pace...... great work.
GaryR Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 WOW! Looks great, very impressive work. Can't say enough!
Justin Porter Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Great to see a nice build of a brass era car!
Rich Chernosky Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Outstanding work on an old kit. The seats are fabulous.
TarheelRick Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Beautiful work. Those seats are outstanding. Pictures look like an on-line sales site advertising the car for sale.
GeeBee Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Very impressive build, those seats are real nice.
Richard Bartrop Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Always nice to see someone doing the antiques. Thanks for sharing!
larman Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Very nice job! I have had 2 of these and foolishly sold both of them. I need to get another, it builds into a sharp model!

Classicgas Posted October 5, 2019 Posted October 5, 2019 Stunning! Any engine pics? What was your technique for the wood?
harti20 Posted October 11, 2019 Author Posted October 11, 2019 Hi all Thank you all for your kind comments. On 10/5/2019 at 2:21 PM, Classicgas said: Stunning! Any engine pics? What was your technique for the wood? Yes, I have. Not too much, but here you are The wood was all done with Vallejo Model Air colors. First I airbrushed Model Air Sand, than I applied Model Air U.S. Brown and Model Air Mahagony with an old, short and bristly paintbrush. The technique is similar to drybrushing but with slightly more paint left on the brush to get some strokes. In this step it's important to brush only in one direction to get a realisitic pattern. After the paint has cured, I applied a coat of Tamiya Clear Orange. The floor was made exactly the same way, but before the Clear Orange had completley dried, I added some Tamiya Smoke over it.
Dann Tier Posted October 14, 2019 Posted October 14, 2019 Absolutely Stunning!!!....doesnt even look like an old kit!
