kingiguana Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I like it !! Totally cool looking, how did You achieve the plaid pattern ?
crazyjim Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I like that little bugger. Please don't say that you hand painted the plaid interior.
kerc Posted January 19, 2011 Author Posted January 19, 2011 I like it !! Totally cool looking, how did You achieve the plaid pattern ? Bought patterned paper at Michael's. There's a lot of cool patterns in scrapbooking paper. And it's cheap! I actually got the idea from my wife, who used this type of paper as "wallpaper" for my daughter's dollhouse.
Gray Smith Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 i'm digging it..I really like the grill idea..something different, which is good! Gray
Draggon Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I love it! That color, with the plaid upholstery, engine, and wheel choice make it so cool!
Chuck Most Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Love that grille, too- minimalistic, but oh, so cool. Is that a 1:8 scale kit?
kerc Posted January 19, 2011 Author Posted January 19, 2011 Love that grille, too- minimalistic, but oh, so cool. Is that a 1:8 scale kit? Thanks guys! Nope, this is 1:25 scale. A resin body I bought eons ago, scratchbuilt chassis.
LAone Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 nice T bro. i like the idea for the plaid pattern. awesome bro
Scalper Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 Looks great love the paint. and the seats are cool. thanks for the tip.
kerc Posted January 19, 2011 Author Posted January 19, 2011 There's so much I like about this model ... the color, the engine, the proportions, the interior, the stance ... but, I've gotta be honest, the grill/headlight treatment just doesn't work for me because I think it gives the front end a cartoonish look. I personally think perhaps a cut-down '32 Ford grill shell and stalk-mounted headlights would've worked better. Those are strictly my opinions, they're intended as constructive criticism and I hope I do not offend. I do know you like to push the envelope and go very much in your own direction with your builds, and for that, you are to be applauded, my friend! If we all thought the same way, life would be soooo boring! The grille treatment came about for two reasons: 1) I didn't like how the chopped shell would look, and 2) wanter to give it a bit of a kustom look. So the almost-cartoony appearance is there on purpose!
kerc Posted January 20, 2011 Author Posted January 20, 2011 Did you scratchbuild that grill shell? Yep. Bent Plastruct, eyeball engineering.
voljeepx Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 I'm lovin'the detail on that flattie! Great work.
