Randy Kern Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 The AMT kit, built mostly OOB. Paint is Dupli-Color Orange Mist. A few added details are embossing powder for the carpet and on the rear shelf, shaving the antenna off the roof, and giving the wheels a shot of dullcote. I cleaned up the grille and gave it a little more depth by cutting out an insert using the mesh material that comes with some Revell kits (such as the Audi R8). Having a lot of black trim on this car, I still wanted the rocker panels a dark color. To help cut down the height of the sides, instead of black I used a dark charcoal color. This also helps tie them in with the dark gray hood decal. I got this tip from fellow club member Dan Peterson, telling me he noticed that the black rocker panel look is usually after someone patches the rust on them. Not using the axles lowers it to a better stance, also. Thanks for looking!
caine440 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Very nice looking build. I have the new Challenger on my to do list. Yours has a lot of good ideas.
Albert Moore Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Fantastic looking Challenger! The color combo looks terrific, as does the interior. Cheers, Alby
RodneyBad Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 Fantastic looking Challenger! The color combo looks terrific, as does the interior. Ditto. Looks great..
jjsipes Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 As an owner of a 09 Chally, I must say execellent job. Capsures the look perfectly. Nice color as well.
vizio93 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 that looks really good. it's also on my list to build someday.
Sixties Sam Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Another beauty! Great finish, and the subtle changes really add a lot of appeal! Love those MoPar's! Sam
Raul_Perez Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Very nice build, Randy!! The paint work looks awesome!! Thanks for sharing,
Jon Cole Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Randy- You did it awesome! I can't wait to start building mine! Also, where can I find "Embossing Powder"? Thanks.
diymirage Posted August 17, 2009 Posted August 17, 2009 Randy- You did it awesome! I can't wait to start building mine! Also, where can I find "Embossing Powder"? Thanks. well, most places would call it flocking if im not mistaken you should be able to find it n any LHS or on ebay
Randy Kern Posted August 17, 2009 Author Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) Embossing powder and flocking are two different mediums. Jon, there was a thread on the forum a long time ago that was a good how-to on applying it, but I'm not sure how to find it. I use it instead of flocking because I find it's much easier to use, and I think it looks better. Any Michael's or A.C. Moore craft store would have it. Check out Marcos Cruz's current '71 Vega project, as he used it in his interior. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=20646 Edited August 17, 2009 by Randy Kern
