AMT '65 Bonneville

[JJ Deuce]

Had to clean up the hobby desk over the holiday as we had guests (it's in our guestroom).  So before I dug back into the Cobra racing team set, I decided to have a little fun and practice some techniques with one of my $13 scores from Ollie's.  I opted to use the curbside parts for this one to keep it simple.  I scribed the doors and trunklid, and added a black wash before I primed, tried the embossing powder for carpet, and foiled some of the emblems/scripts before applying Testors Inca Gold lacquer.  The interior is Tamiya dark yellow, with gold embossing powder.  I could have used another coat of paint, but I like the overall result of the foil, and learning things for the next build.

Trying to get this beast done before the end of the year.  Got the wheels dechromed and painted.  Still need to foil the side trim and I finally got the bumpers stripped so I can clean them up before spraying with Revell Chrom.
