Howard Cohen Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I have been part of this 24 Hour Build since 2009 and several others before with local groups. It is always a challenge to find the right kit and then get it finished. This year I chose the Airfix Aston Martin DB5, curbside kit. As I don't have a spray booth where I am staying, I had to allow time to go to my apartment and do the painting, also why I choose a curbside kit. The colours are as follows: Tamiya Racing Green (from a 1962 ad) body; Tamiya Black chassis and interior bucker; Tamiya Gunmetal chassis bits; Tamiya Red Primer seats & dash. Add in a bit of Bare Metal Foil and the car was done. It's a simple kit that goes together well. If this was a normal build, I would have left it for a day, then wet sanded and shot another coat. Here it is, done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Chernosky Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Howard...considering the time involved and the running around, I think you did very well. Congrats on a nice job on an iconic car. I have been involved in a 24hr build and its fun plus you get to spend time with other modelers doing what you like to do best. Can't beat that.

Funkychiken Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 It is a great subject, and its a cool build especially for 24 hours, I can spend months on a build and it might not turn out as sharp as yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
