rick6343 Posted January 1, 2011 Posted January 1, 2011 This is AMT's '63 Galaxie, built quickly as a curbside in time for the Milwaukee NNL. Paint is Testors Honduras Maroon. I'm really happy with how the paint turned out. It looks better than a lot of models I spent more time on. I did work hard on getting all the detail painting correct and painting the interior white. The model's flaw is in the foil work. I got a re-education in how to foil with this one. Comments welcome.
62rebel Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 i have three or four of these, a couple of them built as replicas of the 1:1 i had in Virginia. i can see no fault in your foil work; the car looks outstanding. i built one as a Jack Sears tribute car; white with red interior; to get the interior texture to look like 40 year old weathered vinyl, i first sprayed a coat of Testors flat light blue over the interior, then a second coat. before the second coat flashed over well; i sprayed a coat of Krylon Engine enamel over it, Buick Red. the red caused the flat undercoat to wrinkle slightly, not outragelously, but enough to make the interior look "used". i believe this would work with other colors as well, but i only used it once. again; beautiful model.
