novadose71 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Finished this one last summer. This is an old friction promo that I rebuilt and detailed showroom stock. The color is Olive Mist Poly with Ivy gold for the interior. I also used some Modelhaus tires....and yes, it still vroooms across the floor:
SkinnyDan Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 That's beautiful! I love Mercurys and the 65 Marauder is in my top 3 cars of all time.
RodneyBad Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 WOW!! Very Nice Soo Very Nice looking Paint and interior Detailing is Fantastic. Very Sharp BMF work.. Excellent work!!
george 53 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 If you guys who like this can sit tight for awhile, I sent Alan Raab, over at Ma's resin a mint unbuilt kit of this car, and he may be casting it soon. AND it'll be ALOT cheaper than what I paid for it!!!! AND just as NICE!!!!!!
FordRodnKustom Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Beautiful build! Perfect color choices too. Nice job. I'll be looking forward to this resin one mentioned above as this kit is on my grail kit bucket list.

Greg Pugh Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Another beauty!! You're a talented builder. I've liked everything you've shared so far! (no pressure or anything )
Dwight55 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 If it wasn't for the rear bumper shot, this could have passed for a real car. Gorgeous to say the least
sak Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) The beauty of this thing is tremendous !!! You did a very good job with the interior as it looks like a pretty primitive design but now looks awesome. Awesome choice of color !!! That is the color I was speaking of. The interior color you chose is exactly what I need for my fairlane. I would very much like to know what it is. Edited March 23, 2011 by sak
george 53 Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Actually, I'd like to know how you painted the woodgrain on the interior side panels, it looks pretty darn real to me!!!
walt francis Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I remember this when you finished it and it is still one sweet ride.
tim boyd Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Ron I think you did a great job on this model. Way to go. TIM BOYD
novadose71 Posted March 24, 2011 Author Posted March 24, 2011 Actually, I'd like to know how you painted the woodgrain on the interior side panels, it looks pretty darn real to me!!! This was the easiest woodgrain I have done. It is molded in this tan plastic, so I just slopped some gloss brown( which was kinda transparent anyway) over it with a narrow round brush and it just turned out.....usually doesn't work that way for me, Murphy must of had the day off. SAK.....The interior color is Light Ivy Gold. I ordered a spray bomb from Dearborn Classics and you can probably do 4 or 5 interiors with it
charlie8575 Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Another great build. That looks really nice. Charlie Larkin
Chuck Most Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 D-D-R-R-O-O-O-O-L-L.... Love it. Just absolutely love it. Forget the '64 Marauder, '66 Park Lane, and '64 Comet kits... they need to reissue THIS!!!!
bsoder Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Well my first thought was McGarrett & 5-O second was that is one stunning model
edward smith Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Awesome build, looks terrific in that color.
Monty Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Absolutely beautiful build. Your paint, detailing and foil work really make your model stand out. Edited March 25, 2011 by Monty
