DRG Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Well I finally got it done. I made some mistakes on this one that I am aware of and I'm sure some I'm not. Please feel free to critique this build as I want to learn and get better. Thank you for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaughn Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Some BMF will definitely help this puppy if you want. But looks good. That little gadget with the magnifying glass ? Did you use to tie your own flies for fishin? Thats what I use anyway. Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Looks Good! Don't sweat the details Don, just keep working on them and you will improve with each one. Give the bare metal foil a try on the next one, you will be amazed at the difference it makes. Choosing black to paint a car shows some confidence in your abilities, keep at it!

Mike Kucaba Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Nice build. Get a hold of some Tamiya Smoke, It's like a translucent black and brush some on the grille,use a cotton swab and dab at it until you like the depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I like it a lot. The interior looks good in those colors. The wheels look great on that car. Only criticisms I would say would be BMF, blackwash the grille and install the headlight lenses. I'm still learning from each build after 30+ years. Keep it up.

DRG Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 I would like to try BMF but in all honesty I'm leery of it right now. Good Lord, I forgot the headlight lenses. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 The black looks good on that. I agree a wash on the grille would improve the look overall substantially, but you've done a great job overall. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Try the BMF stuff, Donald. Worse case is that you just peel it off. Your bubbletop looks good in black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clay Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Donald, be sure to use white glue for the lenses so they dont get cloudy from the other glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
