Charlie Magers Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I saw this ad in a magazine and thought it would make a sharp 2 door wagon. The black paint is Model Car World, the lower paint is silver metallic with lilac pearl from House of Color, the gold strip is also from House of Color. The grill is photo etch from Model Car Garage. The bumper and headlights are painted with Alclad II. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Magers Posted March 18, 2009 Author Share Posted March 18, 2009 Thanks for all the nice comments. I was pulling my hair out on this one for a while but I’m happy with the way it turned out. MikeMc, Color balance…. I shot most of these pictures with a halogen light which must have caused the orange cast. The one picture that’s light was taken without any light or flash. I’ll try some sunlight. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horsepoweraddict Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 This is a really nice build, I like it alot I can respect the time and effort that went into it. It looks great!!! I'd like to see the outdoor pics to see that paint really shine. Do you have any engine pics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Magers Posted March 22, 2009 Author Share Posted March 22, 2009 Outside picture and engine shots. I think I could us some photography lessons but here ya go. The lilac pearl looks pretty sharp in the sunlight but it just doesn’t show that well in the photograph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
