maltsr Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) This is my latest build, ready for our club theme night on Thursday. It started off as the Hubert Platt car (v2) but got waylaid (again). The original paint attacked the plastic so I sanded it smooth again, re-primed and shot a few light coats of colour. Unfortunately the craziness appeared in the metallic paint, but a quick blast of Testors Dullcote remedied that. I added the engine from the Model King Dick Brannan Mustang, the front suspension from the AMT '37 Chevy, parts box bucket seats, roll cage and Moon gas tank. Wheels n tyres are from the Thunderbolt kit with hand painted whitewalls. Thanks for looking. Edited March 8, 2011 by maltsr
brett Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I like it ! Gonna go for third time lucky or take a break from the Platt car?
Bastardo Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Nice combination of parts and the car looks great Metallic paint + dull coat? Gotta try that one day
Peter Lombardo Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Nice job....I really like the dull look to the paint. It makes it look very understated....I also like the whitewall tire up front, nice period touch,along with the drop axle.
Greg Pugh Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 Foil that badboy! Your build looks awesome. Imagine what it would look like with some chrome...??
walt francis Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I love that chrome delete look it just gives it that all business look
Reeves Racing Posted March 8, 2011 Posted March 8, 2011 I like the rubber gasket around the windshield and the body color posts but the body side trim should have been sanded off or it needs some BMF. It doesn't look right painted. And X2-lose the wipers.
maltsr Posted March 9, 2011 Author Posted March 9, 2011 I like it ! Gonna go for third time lucky or take a break from the Platt car? Dunno yet Brett. I have several more decal sets but the chassis and wheels are already set up for the Platt car As for BMF, I have already built and foiled six of these (five in the last year ) so I thought I would give it a rest this time
Greg Pugh Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Ya did all of these in foil..why did you give up on this one? Nice collection BTW!
