Revell 1930 Ford Model A coupe

[Albert Moore]

My take on the Revell 1/25 scale 1930 Ford Model A coupe. The finish was achieved by drybrushing Model Master metalizers over a gray primer (in multiple sessions to build up the finish). The tarnished look was done with copper Rub-N-Buff, applied with a sponge. A wash completed the effect. Thanks for looking.

 

Cheers,

Albert

I like the finish on this a lot, very well done!

Great looking finish on the body. Like the engine details and the wheels and tires. Your girlfriend looks a little scary, but I'm sure she was just muggy for the camara.

The perfect rat rod. The bare metal looks awesome. The burnt effect on the headers is a nice touch.

That looks fantastic. Great weathering, love the license plates inside.

That's about the nicest bare steel finish I've ever seen on a model !  Along with the detailing and extra touches you've got a real winner there , excellent job !!

[crazyjim]

Extremely cool hot rod.

[Hi-Po]

WOW!  That is just too cool!  Your technique for the steel finish is something I will have to give a try.  Very convincing finish.

That's Baaaad!

Great paint and detail work. Definitely looks drivable. Loved the first pic with Eddie...

Excellent work, very well done! I love the roof!

[Ace-Garageguy]

Proportions are right, stance is dead-on, parts choices work together...and the bare metal effect is the absolute best I've ever seen for what it's supposed to be.

Truly outstanding work.

Nice work.

[Jantrix]

That is just terrific. I love the use of the sculptor's mesh for the top insert and the grill. Very nicely done.

[Dennis Lacy]

I’ll have to echo others that the bare steel effect you achieved is absolutely killer. I also like the other details you added like license plate collages inside, the grill and top inserts.
