novadose71 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 I finished this up a couple of years ago but I can't remember if I posted it here before, if so, please accept my sincerest apology. I started with an AMT Annual kit glue bomb. The body cleaned up real nice, so I used it and the kit "glass" and chassis, everything else is from Modelhaus including the interior tub. I had some Nocturne Blue lacquer mixed up for the body and used a combination of Dupli-color blues for the interior. This is where I started Here's where I ended up. I really like detailing these Pontiac interiors Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 NICE! The classic coach colors (dark blue, maroon, dark green, black, etc.,) work nicely on big Pontiacs of that vintage. Very nice work on that. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Gibbons Posted March 19, 2011 Share Posted March 19, 2011 Wow, another home run! We are going to have to start calling you Chief Pontiac! I really, really like what you've accomplished with the '62 and '63. Such pretty cars modeled beautifully. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixties Sam Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Wow! Very nice rebuild! The interior is great. A friend of mine has a 1:1 63 Bonnie convertible in a deep red color with a 389 V-8. He let me drive it once. Sweeet ride! Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larryhagmansliver Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I'm sure this is a stupid rookie question, but how did you manage to paint the numbers on the speedometer in such clean detail? Drybrushing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drybrushing? If memory serves it was a couple of black wash applications over the white plastic to fill in the background, then drybrushed over it with thinner on a brush to remove any of the wash from the digits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
