AMT 1970 Buick Wildcat

[Sidney Schwartz]

A very simple kit...no engine, and very little chassis and interior detail. Metal axle rods and screw-on body. The body is nicely detailed, though. This was my first try at a vinyl top. I made by adding "sand" texture to paint and brushing it on. Trim is masking tape. The result is not great...the texture is too course. Next time I'll try a different method. Comments appreciated. Enjoy and thanks for looking.

Nicely done and a pretty combination of color?

Very nice! The details on the wheels stand out to me as especially realistic. Well done.

That pale blue is a nice color. Goes nice with the roof color. Yeah...not overly liking that vinyl texture. Keep trying, you'll get it.

All I did with the wheels was apply some Vallejo black wash. An easy way to spiff up a model.

Thanks all for the comments.

Great looking build! I really like the Carolina blue paint. My preferred method for a vinyl top is 2" masking tape. 1st strip right down the center of the roof, 2nd & 3rd on the sides. You can use Plastruct pieces on the roof seams, and on the trim along the bottom edge of the vinyl.

Beautifully done. That color looks like it was created just for that body!
