Hey guys/gals.

Long time no post.

However, i am going to try and redeem myself with a project that i've worked on intermittently.

I'm almost done, and only need to do the clear coat and polished, then exterior trim and some other minor stuff. This build has been great so far. Oh, and i need to dust it off as you'll see with the engine pic.

for the wood planks, i used balsa wood strips, painted enamel wood, and then topped off with brushed tamiya clear orange. for the strips between the wood planks, i used T shaped styrene strips.

and here's the paint. tamiya TS-60 pearl green top, TS-58 pearl light blue bottom, and TS-45 pearl white pin stripe.

the theme i'm going with is among the types of cars you'd see at a Good Guys car show, sort of a hot rod cruiser look. I chose the colors because it takes what would normally look like a heavy vehicle and gives it a lighter look.

[Rob Z]

That really looks great... The paint is KILLER!!! I love the detail of these Galaxie kits, one of these days I'll get aroud to my S/D...

Nice job so far. Really like the colour choice.

That's looking great! If you said you were painting a model blue and green, I would think "yuck", but those shades look really good together! Good selection of colors!

it's a styrene kit, but the level of detail is outstanding.

my opinion: completely worth it.

threw on one coat of clear. proceded to run out. i also got a couple decals put on it.

tomorrow i'm getting the rest of the clear, then wet sand it and polish it to high noon. Once that's done then i'll finally be able to button this bad boy up.

got a little more done. roof is flocked, windows in, dome light in, interior, etc. attached body to frame. once the front fenders are cured, then i'll be wet sanding and attaching, then it's on to final assembly.
