Yeah Nah Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Just finished this. Good thing about screw together curbside models is you can pull them apart to redo something you're not happy with: that instrument panel bugs me. 😏 Edited October 28, 2023 by Yeah Nah 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomicholiday Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Your craftsmanship is outstanding. Everything looks so clean and crisp. I love your work on the scripts in particular. Truly nice job you did with this one. Is that foil under paint for the scripts? Edited October 28, 2023 by atomicholiday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love your work on the scripts in particular. Truly nice job you did with this one. Is that foil under paint for the scripts? Thanks Jeremy. I did try the foil-under-the paint technique one time without success. Now I hand paint the scripts with a size 1 or 2 soft hobby brush. I can make a small puddle of chrome paint on the workbench by lightly pushing the tip in and out on a Molotow (or whatever brand) pen. The trick is keeping the amount of paint on the brush to an absolute minimum and light strokes in different directions across the raised scriptwork. Any mistakes can be picked off with toothpick when the chrome dries. Edited October 29, 2023 by Yeah Nah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeah Nah Posted October 29, 2023 Author Share Posted October 29, 2023 (edited) Thanks for all the kind comments everybody! When I pull her apart to fix that instrument panel I'm going to try a windscreen tint as on this Starliner. I found a 'how to' on Youtube and if successful I'll take some more pics.

Doug 1061 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 Superb job there. That is a nice kit. I built one years ago and will get a couple more when they come back out. Now if they would kit up that 61 Starliner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldo60 Posted October 29, 2023 Share Posted October 29, 2023 very nice build I have a resin mercury version i got years ago online somewhere, anyway it has slight warpage but the main problem is the roof, it got smashed during moving. I am considering chopping it off and make a convertible or lifting the roof from a resin ford body i saw on ebay. I'm leaning towards the convertible but still might have to buy the resin body just to get the windshield frame I'll have a pic in another phone, I'll post here to get some input after seeing your build 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
