fatkidd Posted March 28, 2009 Posted March 28, 2009 this is one i've been working on here and there when time allows. it started off as a revell 71 plymouth gtx kit. i painted it PPG bahama yellow (looks like butterscotch to me), cleared it with Nason Select Clear, and then masked it off and created the vinyl top, and then jumped in with both feet and used BMF for the first time. i'm building this one for a friend of mine that has the car in 1:1. i will be doing a how to explaining how i did the "vinyl". hope you all enjoy it and feel free to critique/comment.
GOTH KUSTOMS Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 NIce kolor, and your right it does look like butterscotch, I have this kit up for trade, but now I'm thinking, well yours looks so good, maybe I can do something with mine, great work keep the posts coming...
LVZ2881 Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 looks great!! If I remember correctly, Bahama Yellow and Butterscotch are the same, just different names for different manufacturers. kinda like In Violet for Plymouth and Plum Crazy for Dodge...
RodneyBad Posted March 29, 2009 Posted March 29, 2009 looks great!!

Really? the things you learn here. Looks like you jumped in with both feet, Running.. Don't think I've seen one with a Vinyl top before. Great looking GTX..
fatkidd Posted March 31, 2009 Author Posted March 31, 2009 thanks everyone for the wonderful comments. i'm trying to get this one done before the weekend...but we'll see. and here's a couple close ups of the vinyl top and one of the leather wrapped seats.
kelson Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Looks great so far,don't think i've ever seen one painted this color in scale or the real 1:1.
Harry P. Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 Just one question: Why do the front and rear seats have different upholstery???
RyanSilva Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) The kit has the same pattern for the fronts and rears,I believe he just covered the front in leather That top looks gooooooood! Edited April 1, 2009 by RyanSilva
Harry P. Posted April 1, 2009 Posted April 1, 2009 The kit has the same pattern for the fronts and rears, he just covered the front in leather Yeah, I know. But the question is, why different fronts and rears? Shouldn't they both be the same???
fatkidd Posted April 1, 2009 Author Posted April 1, 2009 Yeah, I know. But the question is, why different fronts and rears? Shouldn't they both be the same??? you are quite correct harry. they should be the same. however, the owner of the 1:1 decided that he just wanted the fronts done. his reasoning is that you really won't see them. and i might slightly tint the windows.

These were taken in late March. Was this build ever finished? If so, I'd love to see some pics of it.
my name is nobody Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 Here is a 1:1 in that scheme. taken a few years ago at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison Colo. This was a very nice '71 HEMI car.
ViperDave Posted June 27, 2009 Posted June 27, 2009 looks great!! If I remember correctly, Bahama Yellow and Butterscotch are the same, just different names for different manufacturers. kinda like In Violet for Plymouth and Plum Crazy for Dodge... They aren't quite the same. Butterscotch is code EL5 and Bahama Yellow is EG5. They are close though.
fatkidd Posted June 28, 2009 Author Posted June 28, 2009 These were taken in late March. Was this build ever finished? If so, I'd love to see some pics of it. yes, this model was finished. however, my external HD that had the pictures on it has decided that it no longer wants to work. I gave the model to the owner of the 1:1 and i'm having difficulty coordinating with him so i can take more pictures. as soon as i'm able to take more pics, i will postthem in "under glass"
