WIP....2006 Dodge Magnum (Updates..02-17)

[1320wayne]

Well, here is my current project (one of about 20 ongoing at the same time). A 2006 Revell Dodge Magnum. I am lowering the suspension and adding Aoshimas wheels.

This is actually the second paint job. The first one was going good until the clear coat process cracked severely enough to warrant a trip to the strip tank.

It will have a texture paint light tan inetrior but other tha thos changes it will be primarily a box stock buildup.

Here was the first paint job that went South real quick.

And then the new paint job. Pretty much a complete 180 from the first design.

I also think the car looks great and like the 2nd paint job much better

[monsterman]

Both are cool but I like the 2nd a little more.. Really nice job

In my opinion I like the 1st color better and it went very nice with that decal on the side but of course your current paint job is also very cool :wink:

Hhhhmmmm, seems like I've seen this before......LOL !!! Must be my imagination or deja vu all over again. Wasn't expecting to run in to you over here.

Here are some pics. of the interior and grill work.

The grill was done by cutting out the plastic and adding mesh material. The interior was painted with Valspar texture paint and added flocking.

Nice grille work! I like it!

[JAFFA]

Oh, whilst i remember, how did ya do the yellow edge pin-stripes on the first paintjob?

The trunk bed is flocking. I also used the same flocking on the seat inserts. I need to take a couple of pics. of the interior before completing the model.

All of the color graphics (including the yellow) on the first paint job was decal.

Thanks for the comments.

where do you get flocking from? and who made the kit?

I get my flocking from a local hobby store. You can also get it from Detail Master and probably many other mail order sites.

The kit is from Revell.
