olddude55 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 MPC 1970 Bonneville. Paint is MCW Sand Beige Metallic, black interior. Very difficult to finish, took three tries to get the windshield in place.... And AMT's '33 Ford pickup. Paint is Testor's metallic purple bottle paint thinned 50/50 with lacquer thinner. Though it's hard to see, I scratch built a tuck n roll interior for it. Engine is the Buick Nailhead from the '40 Ford panel kit that Hobby Lobby sent me by mistake. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldscool Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Those are beautiful models George. The Bonnie almost looks real and i love the color on both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 They both look great. The color and interior combination on the Pontiac looks period correct. The '34 pickup color and custom grill look a lot like the box art. Very nice paint on both and cleanly finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kah puts Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 They turned out fantastic. Let's hope it doesn't take 30 years for more of the same. Congratulations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, ha..no it won't be. Got a Revellogram '55 Chevy in final assembly, ND Miata getting close, two others on the bench. And a model hoard. I'm sure you know how it is.

bisc63 Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Very nice models. My dad had, for a short time, a 4-door Pontiac in exactly that color combo. (I think it was called a Grand Ville.) The little truck is just too cool, and just perfectly represents what makes hot rods fun! Nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucky 130 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 All those years spent away from the hobby, I spent honing my modeling skills. Maybe some day I'll be able to build as nice as you. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cheap Testor's bottle paint cut with lacquer thinner, that stuff goes down so smooooth and glossy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
