Revell 1967 chevelle

[happy grumpy]

Built last year. No build issues, This was my second try at Alclad candy paint. Silver base and top emerald green coat. Clear coated with their gloss coat lacquer. The only thing is that this paint seems to be a dust magnet, no matter how I cleaned it, dust stick right back to it before I can take a picture. Overall I satisfied with it. 

Thanks for your time to have a look.

Awesome looking Chevelle!  Really well done.

Gorgeous colour on sweet car. Oh yeah, that paint IS a dust magnet. Problem did go away after clear coating with Alclad’s Aqua Gloss.

Very good looking Chevelle, Mario - awesome paint, but it seems indeed to attract dust particles.

[Zippi]

That's a Looker Mario.  Nice job on this one.  

[SpikeSchumacher]

Beautiful color Mario!

[Classicgas]

Very nice, great color.

[Smitty]

That’s a beautiful color! It’s a great looking model overall. I prefer the Revell kit to the AMT offering. I think the overall ‘look’ is more accurate.

[KWT]

Very nicely done

[Tcoat]

Like the paint color and finish. I recall a friend who had a '65 El Camino that had a color very much like this and Chevrolet offered it for several years. Great looking trim and engine detailing. Being winter and I'm sure living where you do and using furnace a bit the humidity may be low in your home. Do you have a home humidifier on your furnace? I know if the humidity gets low here, I have much the same issue. Walk around in your socks on the carpet and then touch a metal object or even a light switch. When the static electricity shocks you a little usually raising the interior humidity will stop this. Also, if you just polished the model like an Alden's lamp that can create static electricity as well.

That Chevelle is top notch. And the garage / alley diorama is incredible. Did you build or buy that garage /alley setup?

Thanks Harry. I know that there are 2 different clear, one is water base the other is lacquer. I might try Tamiya clear over Alclad. I don't have that problem with any other paint.

Thanks Helmut. It does indeed. Alclad is the only paint that gives me that problem. Their metal finish is fine , only the clear color , which are enamel seem to be problematic even after being cleared. But they give a really nice finish.

Thanks Eric . Revell produces some really nice kits, some not so nice but it is true for all manufacturers. I really like this one, the build went without any issue and turned out  ok.

Thanks Graig. Agreed, I had this color for some time but could not really decide on which car to paint it, then I bought this kit and thought it would look nice on it.

glad you like it too.

Thanks David. Normally with any other paint I use, mainly Tamiya lacquer ,acrylic or clear, it is not an issue. Alclad transparent paint is enamel base and even when coated with their clear coat it draws dust like crazy and my place is never under 40% humidity. The metal finish does not have that problem. I use a tack cloth before I photograph but even with that some dust finds its way anyway. Once in the cabinet it doesn't happen much.

Thanks Ken. All of my backgrounds are scratch built save for the outside photos I take in the summer. This one was done with pink Styrofoam and evergreen styrene. The dumpster is also scratch built. I am currently working on a European style background for  our friends across the pond.
