Paintandwrenches Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 AMT 66 Riviera. I really like this kit. This was my first time using foil. I hated the stock wheels so I copped these from a Corvette kit and made them fit as best as I could. My wife wanted it to be gold , the paint is a Vallejo color shift green but on white primer it does this pearl gold thing. I didn't clear the body and once I did the foil I didn't want everything to have the same sheen so it is what it is now. I did the engine in that color just because I had a 54 Buick with a nailhead years ago and I liked the teal. Exhaust and little detail work and I'm going to call it done. I'm learning and I see a lot of flaws but I feel like every one I do is better than the last.
espo Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Beautiful looking color and finish. The engine color reminds me of the OEM color that Buick used on their engines for years. You had mentioned flaws, but I don't see any. Very clean looking engine detail.
Beamerman Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Really cool Buick...the color is great! Love it
bisc63 Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 Very nice build, and beautiful yellow gold finish.
Nazz Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Nice Riv David. Love the color. Edited February 7, 2021 by Nazz spelling
AMT68 Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) That's a beautiful build of a nicely detailed model. Your foil work looks impeccable. I like whatever type of wash that was used on the valve covers as it gives them a cast look. Edited February 7, 2021 by AMT68
NOBLNG Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) That is an excellent job! I wouldn’t have thought of painting it that brightly...but it works very well! The engine is nicely detailed and your foil job is excellent also. Edited February 7, 2021 by NOBLNG
Sledsel Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 That looks great!! Now sure what flaws there are, she looks darn near perfect. I like the engine color too. I know I am going to paint something in that color for sure.
mustang1989 Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Very nice work on this. Love the subject and love the build.
doorsovdoon Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Looks amazing. I too really like that colour, and your detailing is great especially around the wiper arms. I have wire wheels like that in my spares stash and been wondering what to use them on. I think I might pick one of these up after seeing this, very nice build!
crazyjim Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Very nice. I'll bet the paint really pops in the sunlight.
Erik Smith Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Great looking model. I really like that paint.
Doug 1061 Posted February 14, 2021 Posted February 14, 2021 Nice job. Your first time at BMF looks good. It gets easier as you go. I'm gonna have to pick up one of these next time they come around. My mom had a '67 Riv when I was in high school. That was a fun car to drive, but could suck out half a tank of gas in 2 blocks....
Grumpa Posted February 15, 2021 Posted February 15, 2021 Gorgeous "Rivi" David! Beautiful color! The choice of the wires' with wide whites really makes this build stand out! If you're learning...you're learning fast!
