The Amber Queen

[Bryce]

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.

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?

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.

Great Kustom, and a good name! Not so much for the color, but because I had a girlfriend named Amber, and she demanded to be treated like a queen!
