mannyclub Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 (edited) Hello modelers, just finished this one the other day. I was having a hard time if I was going to add the spot lights or not and now after seeing some others built they look better when they are on! I painted it kind of 2 tone, the base coat on lower half is HOK Gold, and top half is HOK Orian Silver then HOK Candy Blue. Air brushed the white walls, made the aluminum headlight buckets. Engine is wired up a little but mostly built box stock. Thanks for looking! Manny Sorry picture didnt work, should be working now.

Sixties Sam Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Nice model! I like those Merc's! The 2-tone effect came out nice. I never thought of using two different base colors like that. Great idea! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horsepower Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Beeeyouteeefull! if you want a really different candy blue, try using a gunmetal gray for the base, or Tamiya's Metallic red for a base for a really nice candy violet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
