'29 A Roadster

[TopherMcGinnis]

While I was out of town recently I picked up this kit to work on in the hotel. Not doing anything real crazy, but I do want to use the Lazy Modeler flame mask to flame it. Any pointers?

Createx Wicked Black over Mr. Surfacer primer.

I've got to say, if you haven't tried Turbo Dork paints-DO IT! The Lazy Modeler masks are amazing.

Well done your flames look really good.

Nice flames. This was one of the kits I used for my 55 TLB build.

I'll have to look into those masks, the seem to work really well.

It looks like the paint laid down quite nicely too.

You have a great start on a cool looking roadster.

You’ll need to drill out the axle ends to accept the metal pins and gluing the wheels on the Buick drums requires patience while letting the car rest on its side until the glue sets. Other than that great work!

[TopherMcGinnis]

WOW!!!!!!

I'm enthralled with this paint!

The flame colors look great. 

[NOBLNG]

Agreed.

Since this whimsical build/trial flame job has happened so quickly, I didn't think the color/combination all the way through. I can't think of which color to paint the interior ? Any suggestions? 

[SpikeSchumacher]

You could do anything from black, to grey, to teal, to purple, or any combination thereof...

I think you could almost two tone it with a light turquoise and an accent of a dark grey! It would move it forward into the current 20’s builds

Replace the cream with grey??‍♂️

I love it. Being that it is black, you could go with almost any color, except maybe, yellow. That would clash too much IMO.

I had initially thought bright red for the interior and finned drums. I don't think that will look right with the flames. I'm going to play with gray and turquoise this evening ?

[TopherMcGinnis]

I like it ?

[Moparman18064]

Looks good, works pretty well!

[DJMar]

Those flames are looking mighty tasty! ??
