1964 Ford Galaxie 500 XL

[Chuck Most]

Simple build of a simple kit. A simple, lumpy, warped kit. The wheels came from a 1970 Ford cop car, printed Firestones came from the spares pile. I robbed some side mirrors from a 1960 Ranchero. The rest is box stock. The matte Krylon teal was distressed with a Vallejo rust paint set.

Proof positive that deep dish steelies look right at home on this car. I've always thought it had a stout look and should wear durable shoes. I like it.

[Supernurd]

That came out great ?

[Pierre_tec]

That patina look set it apart! And love that widened steelies

[Rattlecan Dan]

It looks like one of those legendary barn finds. You are a master of rust and dust, well done!

Looks like it has had a hard life. Like the realistic looking surface rust and general neglect.

AMT will send you one; cut out the UPC from the box, enclose a cheque for $5 (I believe it's still that) for postage, and mail it to them.

Looks like a very faded Peacock Blue car stuck in a barn for a long time.

Nice job.

Very nice! Being from northern Ohio, I saw some really nice cars just rot away. So I haven't been able to bring myself to reproduce that in one of my builds, but I may have to try my hand at one (using yours as inspiration). I think it's way more difficult to produce a convincing weathered look, than a bright shiny new looking build.
