Steve H Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Holy smokes! You have your foot to the floor on this one! Looks great Greg, the interior is particularly nice. I like embossing powder for carpet, I think it looks “scale correct”. Is the red paint Tamiya dull red? Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve H Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Oh… I see we use the same burnishing tools for foil work. Those pointed swabs are perfect 👍. I like your idea of using tape to contain the foil “bits” , I will definitely be borrowing that one. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Steve The interior paint is Premier Colonial Red from Canadian Tire, decanted and airbrushed. It was left over from my ‘41 Chevy pickup. The carpet is just a brighter red embossing powder, then flat clear over everything. I found a local craft shop that has a bunch of colours of embossing powder so I see more carpets in my future.🙂 33 minutes ago, Steve H said: Oh… I see we use the same burnishing tools for foil work.

Thanks I use the pointed ones for setting the foil in the crease before trimming,but they are a little flimsy for burnishing. I have some nice wooden ones I got at a local electronics supplier that worked great for the foil on the wheel well trim.

And what the heck does an electrician do with them?! I tend to end up holding the “flimsy” ones close to the bottom because of that. It would definitely be good to have a none flimsy version.

Steve, these were MG Chemicals brand tapered tip swabs. I guess they are used for cleaning electronic components? I did buy some multi-sized single ended ones from Princess Auto too…..but they just snap if ANY side pressure is applied.😕 Edit: I don’t see the double ended ones anywhere, but here are singles. https://www.amazon.ca/MG-Chemicals-8112A-Tapered-8112A-100/dp/B08MWV1Q2R/ref=sr_1_2?crid=13B0W6GZNAW6L&keywords=mg+chemicals+swabs&qid=1676434802&sprefix=mg+chemicals+swabs%2Caps%2C117&sr=8-2 Edited February 15, 2023 by NOBLNG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 Just came across this build and it's looking really nice Greg ! Your foil work and details are look near perfect and that interior . . . just WOW ! When I've used embossing powder it always takes a second application for a nice even finish , regardless if I used thinned Elmer's or anything else .

NOBLNG Posted February 18, 2023 Author Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) I did the grill and tail light surround with thinned Tamiya SG black. I find that panel line accent doesn’t like to cover chrome very well. The Dodge lettering was foiled before primer and paint. The license plates are printed on label paper and covered with scotch tape. The Charger letters on the tail light and the lettering on the tires are done with a silver sharpie.🙂 I am finished with this one now.

ModelcarJR Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 Really nice work, Greg! That Tamiya LP white paint turned out nice. I just bought a couple of bottles of basic colors to brush paint small parts since I can't get Metalizer any more. I'll have to break out the air brush and give it a try in the future.
