1963 Oldsmobile Starfires

[The Modeling Hermit]

These are a couple of rebuilders that I made a little more presentable.

nice work on both

2 beautiful Oldsmobiles! Nice colors, too!

[bisc63]

Love 'em! I especially like the gold-ish colored one, but this handsome body style can look good in so many colors... You did them both very well. I have been looking forever and a day on ebay for a re-builder of one of these I can afford, and they just go nuts at the last minute every time. The search continues...

Very nice!

[ATHU]

Looks great, excellent work!!

[David G.]

Great work on those, and of course the dioramas. I really enjoy those too.

[Classicgas]

Nice.

Ok I'm going to have to crack open that vintage Johan and get on, yours are brilliant, I didn't know those wheels could look that good, bravo. 

[The Modeling Hermit]

I can't take credit for the wheels on the convertible.  My friend Troy Deal, did those and gave them to me.

Now I'm really kicking myself for all the times I passed over this kit.  Yours are obviously very clean builds, but the paint colors you chose just "pop".  Nice work!

Would you mind sharing the exact paints you used (ex: Model Master #1614 etc).

 

[Ace-Garageguy]

Fine looking models. Especially appealing to me as I have a real '63 Dynamic 88 convertible (identical body style to yours, minus the Starfire side trim), the car I drove in high school, awaiting restomodding.

[The Modeling Hermit]

Monty,   I'm sorry, but I don't remember the exact paints that I used.   The hardtop was Testors metallic gold with a pearl coat over it, followed by Testors wet look clear.   I don't remember the exact numbers.   I'm not sure what paint I used on the convertible.

[Chuckyg1]

Oh yeah. Couple of nice cruisers here. Perfect colors. I'd love to have a few of these. Nice pair.

[slusher]

Great pair of Oldsmobiles

[Zippi]

NIce pair of Oldsmobiles.  Great job.

[carbuilder1950]

I love the old "Starfires," like your 2 shown here.

Very different, but very very nice.

Great job restoring them both.

[drodg]

They look beautiful.
