dub Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 I finished this one about a month ago but held it because of Halloween. When I picked the colors I didn't think about Halloween coming up and it didn't hit me until I pulled the masking off the lower body after shooting the roof. Anywho, I am pleased with how it turned out; even with all the dirt in the paint! Paint is House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl over Testors One Coat Inca Gold. The black is Tamiya. Rolling stock is from the Revel Merc kit. I just wanted to do a quickie for more paint and foil practice. It only took me about two weeks to do it. This is the first build I did where I took the body out of the box first for paint and didn't touch anything else until I finished the paint and foil. Usually I'm groking out the whole kit before I decide anything. Enough out of me, here are the pics: Thanks for looking and HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
ChevyFan Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Nice looking car you got there. I must look into the foils etc. Currently use paint, and that doesn't always end up where it was supposed to go. I'll have to do something similar with one of the many glue-bombs I'm trying to restore at the moment.
62SS Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Great looking Galaxie. Really clean build. Love the color combo and those wheels and tires are perfect. Thanks for sharing it with us. Ed
GOTH KUSTOMS Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Sweet Kandy, and It wont rot you're teeth, really sweet man...
Randy Kern Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 I like it, and the foiling turned out great as well as the paint. It's like I told Nick, most people don't see the little goof-ups that we know are there. I think you're now ready to foil some 1958 bodies! Bring it along to display at the next meeting for those who missed it at the last one.
Daniel Peterson Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) Super sweet Galaxie, Dub...but can you drive yours?! The hood on my '63 does make it a little scary to parallel park, but then I can just get out and pick it up! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! (Mike Cole photo...so blame him) Lite 'em up, baby!!!!

cruz Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Sweet looking build there Johnathan!!! Love the color and the foiling job turned out nice too.
Nick F40 Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Super sweet Galaxie, Dub...but can you drive yours?! The hood on my '63 does make it a little scary to parallel park, but then I can just get out and pick it up! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! (Mike Cole photo...so blame him) Lite 'em up, baby!!!! MIKE!!! This turned out sweet! I still think it's funny when you told me about it, "I took the masking off..............darnit a Halloween build."
dub Posted October 31, 2008 Author Posted October 31, 2008 (edited) Thanks guys! The dirt I'm talking about is obscured by the camera(a patented Raul Perez trick! ). Foil is the way to go for chrome trim. It is actually something I enjoy doing! How many of you can say that? This was done with the Ultra Bright Chrome foil from BMF and it works fine. There are places I could have done better but, it was a quickie build. Randy, I will bring it because I haven't finished anything else yet! (I'm almost done with something for next month, but that one will wait 'tl next month ) Dan, that's some fancy P-choppin' there. I wouldn't race 'ya with this sled, it's just for looks! I would race your T-Bolt but....... well, you know why I can't! Nick, you shouldn't like it, it's not blue! Thanks again, guys! Edited October 31, 2008 by dub
