LVZ2881 Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Revell kit and decals. Tamiya Black and Clear, decaled and BMF'd, then cleared again, then futured... my first use of future..turned out pretty good. SHabo tire transfers, Detail Master Plug wires, Detail Master FLocking. the kit decals wrinkled in a few areas, but it still looks good.
stump Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 That's very very clean James. B) Nice work. Sure wish I could find an alternative to future down here in Aus. ... I certainly adds a very nice luster to the model. cheers Greg
Simon Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 That looks very smart, James. I never get aything like that kind of shine using Future (sold as Johnson's Klear over here), what's the secret? Why do you clear first and then Future? I want to learn this, as Klear/Future is cheap and safe to use indoors.
MrObsessive Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Perfect Paint on 'er James! Black can be so finicky to get right....in fact it can be downright annoying! But yours looks great! Yes, Future can be used for all sorts of things---------as water for a diorama, or as a barrier for that nasty red and yellow plastic. It's also good for hiding scratches on clear parts that won't polish out. Greg, Future or a reasonable facsimile should be available down there, it's called something else most likely "Pledge One Go" or something. Here's a link to what all that can be done with Future and its equivalents. HTH!
Scalefinishes Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 That is nice. Flawless paint, black is a hard color to get right. You did an amazing job. You can't beat the kit decals. I love how nice they look applied to the car. I love the tire transfers. The white lettering really sets of the wheels. Good job. Jameston
Harold Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) Nice work on the Mustang, James. That black and gold is one of my favorite combinations on those cars. I remember when Hertz starting renting the GT350H- the things would come back from a three- day rental period with signs of having been raced. Things like dings, dents, worn tires, balky or non-existent clutches, knocking motors, evidence of racing equipment having been installed (roll bars, racing seat, harnesses) and swapped back out for the stock stuff before it was returned. Hertz didn't rent Shelbys for too long. Edited January 16, 2009 by Harold
James Flowers Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 That is one beautiful Shellby. That black paint looks perfect . Nice work .
