Straightliner59 Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 That's neat, Jim! I have one of them, but I don't recall which one, of the top of my head. Bernard Kron did one as a 1/25 scale (I think) 'liner. It's on the board, here, somewhere. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M. Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 (edited) The latest from E Bay. It's an amateur build 62 Buick Electra 225 convertible. It's hideous looking especially the front end but thankfully, I have the majority of the replacement parts including the stock one piece front bumper/grill and rear bumper. I'll start on this once the work on the Hubley 60 Ford sedan is done. The first thing is to give it a bath once it arrives.

PatW Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Nearly, nearly! I thought of woodying it but with the 600cc engine it would never move! It looks grubby so I will have to come up with something! It will have an 'L' shape corner trim around most of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PatW Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Mounted on the chassis, lights and extended mirror to add, plus possibly a camo paint job! Difficult to spray paint so maybe a bit of brush work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 62 Buick Electra convertible arrived in the mail while I was at work and a neighbor held onto it for safe keeping until I got home. First thing was to give it a complete bath and it cleaned up real nice and the paint job was surprisingly decent given it was done by a rookie. Next was I ditched the hideous front end pictured above and the custom rear panel. Both will be replaced with the stock units along with taking care of other quarks. I'll upload pictures when it's complete Edited April 24 by John M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kit Basher Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I got the door handles for the Revell E-type attached. I can't believe these things didn't fly out of the tweezers and into the 7th dimension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Government should just study modelers losing parts off of tweezers to learn hyper-sonic missiles. greg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoMoCo66 Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Made a black wash out of Craft paint and water. Painted up a tunnel ram to test it out on. I also put some on a mpc 67 corvette engine a project that has been stalled for around half a year. The black wash turned out pretty well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
