Foose 56 Ford pick up

[cobraman]

Just a mock up . Tamiya Metallic Green with a Tamiya Titanium gold roof and interior . Mr. Hobby brass paint on wheel spokes . Nice kit .

Hi Ray!

Great color combo. What will you pick for the interior? 

And if I may: what is your metallic finish on the tranny/driveshaft? It looks the part!

Nice work so far Ray. Thanks for showing the complete chassis, I'm starting mine & was wondering what colors to use. Mine might end up looking just like yours.? Did you use the metal axel for the front? I'm thinking about loosing it but I'm not sure it's worth the extra work. Your wheels look amazing too.

[cobraman]

Thanks fellows. Claude, those parts are painted with Mr. Hobby S.S. and aluminum. Brush paint.  Mark, I did use the metal axle on front and rear.

[cobraman]

Sorry Claude, I forget to mention I used the same color on the interior as the roof. I just did not clear the interior pieces.

Sweet looking 56.  Looking good Ray.

Beautiful!

Thank you Andy and Anton .

I totally agree with my confreres on your color choice Ray, it's gorgeous!  You work really fast and the quality of your models keeps getting better and better. You seem to have a lot of fun in your hobby and it shows...  The painting of the metal parts is very convincing, it looks like real metal.  ?

[cobraman]

Thank you Francis.

I like what you did to the wheel spokes.

[cobraman]

Thank you Bill.

[jjsipes]

Looks great. That is a great kit

[Zippi]

I agree with Jason.  It's a great kit.  I have built one and have the body of another painted gloss black for a winter build.  

[cobraman]

Thanks fellows. It really is a great kit. It is one of the only kits I have built out of the box that had a perfect stance. IMO

[mchook]

I have a question. When you painted the wheel spokes did you clean the chrome off of them or just paint over the chrome?

[Kit Karson]

Simply 

[crazyjim]

Looks like we got something good going on here.

[cobraman]

Thanks guys. Mark I just painted over the chrome.

Thanks Ray, I'm probably going to do something similar to my International.

Looks super Ray!   I'm surprised I hadn't seen this thread until now!

That kit is a joy to build!
