Duddly01 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I started out with an Mpc 1975 convertible kit, scratch built headlights and added LED lighting. MCW finishes 1973-74 Corvette Orange with Splash Paints 2K clear. I have only been a spectator at a couple of scale model show, just the last year. I have never entered a scale model show, I am thinking about taking this model and some of my Mustang builds to the So Cal Open scale Model car show next weekend. if you missed the work in progress thread it is here: 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYHARRY Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I'm surprised that you have never entered any of your builds for judging. I'm sure you would be pleasantly surprised. Your Corvette and Mustangs are very show worthy. "Just do it!" Cheers, David. 😎👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did build a model of a car I owned last, in 2011. I never really even knew about the shows or scale model magazines. I was always into the full scale classic cars almost exclusively. 7 hours ago, Tom99 said: Very nice!! Thank You! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and the paint is awesome 👌. Thanks. my daughter is telling me that now I am not allowed to build a scale model without lights. I can tell you the corvette headlights were a lot of work. Not a lot of room to get the headlights moving up and down and light up the front and side front marker lights. 13 hours ago, MeatMan said: Nicely done! Thank You!

Thank you, I registered. I understand this is a pretty nice show. I saw a YouTube video from 2022 BG posted. I have no misconceptions of winning, but will be nice to be a part of the show.

With Splashpaints 2K. Takes very minimal wet sanding to get smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
