New to the board but not to modeling - AMT '25 T Chopped Coupe

[DanR]

I just read about this forum in the current issue of Model Cars and so I signed up. I'm a semi-regular on Scale Auto's board. I've been modeling for 20+ years now and I'm mainly a box stock guy who does it just to relax and have fun. Here's my most recent build. I'm still on the fence about adding decals to it.

Looks like you know your way around the paint booth. Nice clean looking build.

I like it just the way it is with no decals

I think I saw this over at the other website. Nice looking car. Welcome to this place!

Alyn,

Painting is still a hit or miss proposition for me after all these years. Sometimes I still do a terrible job. This was painted with Testor's Brass airbrush ready Metalizer. I used it purely on a whim and I ended up loving the end result. The interior was painted with a $1 can of Wal Mart Color Place red. The engine is also a Testors Metalizer - this time Burnt Iron. I chose this color strictly as a contrast to the brass body. I like the overall result. Thanks for the compliment!

Welcome! Yea, I saw this over there too, but I'll say again, great build, I LOVE the color!

looks great just the way it is. seems like decals would take away the effect of the build. great job!!!
