Deathgoblin Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Finished this one friday and I'm really proud of it. It's a LOT more complicated than the AMT kit. Engine is outstanding, frame is accurate and builds up from multiple pieces (X frame is 3-4 pieces by itself) and it has a 2-speed rear end. I'll post pics of the undercarriage later. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathgoblin Posted December 20, 2023 Author Share Posted December 20, 2023 22 hours ago, Bullybeef said: That is one outstanding Interior. Would love to know how you achieved the look? I painted the base color as a tan acrylic, then once dry gave it a wash of a very dark brown paying special attention to the seams. There was a little texture on the surface that seemed to pick up the wash well. I used the same technique on my 1932 Chrysler Convertible, but I did it with a more red tone. I've never posted that one, but I may put it up soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
