Bryce Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 This is the old AMT kit – nosed, decked, frenched and shaved. I added custom side trim, cruiser skirts, dummy spots, a tube grill and twin aerials out the back. I also did a bit of filling up around the front wheel arches just to keep the peak going around the corner past the headlights and to make the lines a bit more smooth and flowing. The wheels are from the ’57 T-bird kit but the rest is pretty much out of the kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Very tasteful execution in both the color and the side-trim. Ford would've done well to use that as the factory treatment in 1957. What colors did you use on that? Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 (edited) Thanks for all the nice comments - your words are much appreciated. What colors did you use on that? The colour scheme was a bit of an evolution. I started with some copper acrylic lacquer. That looked a little boring so I tried some Tamiya clear orange over the top but it looked a bit brown. So then I used some leftover Testor's One Coat 'fiery orange'. That stuff has loads of flake in it and gives a nice custom look. Then I top coated that with Tamiya clear orange for a bit of a candy effect. It's still a bit brown for my taste, but I can live with it. The cream colour is just an auto lacquer rattle can. Thanks again to everyone for the nice comments. Edited September 13, 2010 by Bryce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
