carchub Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I'm back with something new! If anyone remembers anything about a '60 Starliner, forget about it! My mother nursed a crow while I was gone mid-summer break and kept it in my room. Just so happens, living things make waste, and this particular one drops it where ever and when ever. So of course, this one decided to drop a little present right on my hood! So I've set that model aside for awhile, and built this. Trust me, it's much better. Not much luck with this camera, but I do have some in progress pictures (some better close ups on the interior, which I like), just tell me if you'd like to see them. I started this one during my summer break. My grandma had a goodie bag for me and this was in it. So I built it. I think it's much better than that Starliner I had goin'. If you want clearer pictures (cause this is my most detailed model so far. and my 2nd), I can get some up. the only thing really wrong is the grill didn't really hug the body like it should've. This is all box stock. I remembered someone's article about tire detailing, so I used it. The one where you take a drill, bolt, two washers, and sandpaper. I've got to say, it's a whole helluva lot better than working at it with just sandpaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 You did an excellent job with the weathering. It does a nice job of representing a car that just needs a little freshening. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Larkin A "Little" freshening? I wish it was my car, and I was the one to have the freshening task.....Beautiful build!! The rust and wear looks very realistic! Nice old Poncho.

carchub Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Sorry I did not get new pictures up last weekend as I said I would. Had a bit of technical difficulties with the machine. I am busy this weekend so they might not be up that soon, but don't worry I'll get them up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

voljeepx Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Goats and crows in the same post! Looks good, very realistic. Although it would be a shame if somebody let a GTO get in this condition! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
