Dragline Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 I'm having the most fun building these old Hawk kits. Yes, they're goofy to the 10th power, but much like a Tom Daniel or Ed Roth design there is something inherently right about them. And to think it has been said Americans lack culture. We Americans know how to have fun and that is a fact. I cannot wait to rip the cellophane on the next one. And THAT is what my early years of building were all about. 1
Dragline Posted November 15, 2022 Author Posted November 15, 2022 Beach Bunny needed some bling as her outfit was far too plain. I was going to do some flowers but that would have necessitated removing her and I am not taking her off. So what do you do? If polka dots were good enough for her purple bikini before then they are good enough now. It adds just a little more pizazz.. 1
Joe Nunes Posted November 15, 2022 Posted November 15, 2022 Yes! Nice idea and the yellow color choice really adds to the model. Well done ?! Joe 1
Dragline Posted November 16, 2022 Author Posted November 16, 2022 Thanks Tony. If it elicits a grin or a chuckle then I've accomplished the goal of these kits.
TarheelRick Posted November 16, 2022 Posted November 16, 2022 Hmmm, an 'itsy, bitsy teenie-weenie yellow polka-dot bikini', you should write a song about that - wait there already is one. When I saw that second set of pictures, that song is the first thing that popped into my mind. Very nice work on these models; looking forward to more of them. 1
Dragline Posted November 16, 2022 Author Posted November 16, 2022 Thanks brother, you can see I'm having fun without me having to say so I suppose. And that song is exactly what I was thinking for the first model. I could have gone with white here and that certainly would have worked, but then the song.....
stavanzer Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 Great Work! California Culture at it's Finest! 1
TooOld Posted November 17, 2022 Posted November 17, 2022 Another winner Bob ! More great paint work and I love the polka dots ! PS - I sent you a PM 1
