wgflatliner Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 I'm calling this the easter egg because of the pastel colors i picked. The kit was definitely fun and went together well. there was a light amount of body work required to the roof and hood to take care of sink marks. In the end i'm definitely happy with how it turned out. The wood bed is balsa wood which i then painted enamel wood, and brush painted clear orange to get the stained wood look. The slats between the wood are T shaped styrene strips. Sure you can't see most of it, but i know it's there, so lol i also chose the wayne speed equipment racing engine and went with the lowered stance. enjoy!
Dr. Cranky Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 It's a wonderful model, and you've done right with those colors. Sweet.
charlie8575 Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 Very nice mild custom, Mark. It looks good in those schemes and the graphics are nice, too. Charlie Larkin
deathskull59 Posted July 19, 2011 Posted July 19, 2011 i like the car but not so much on the colors though. btw. the kit must be really exspenisive and top doller though to buy.
wgflatliner Posted July 20, 2011 Author Posted July 20, 2011 i like the car but not so much on the colors though. btw. the kit must be really exspenisive and top doller though to buy. i had a stash of paint sitting around for the day i decided to do an old car. i knew i wanted a mild custom, so i did the wood panels and then tried different colors to see what looked good, and gave the vehicle a lighter look. the colors are growing on me a little bit. the kit wasn't exactly top dollar by my standards. heh.. i even purchased the 80 dollar Lexus LFA kit from tamiya. either way, thanks everybody for the comments.
deathskull59 Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 well i know one thing though. revelle needs to make both of those kits and put a cheaper price on it too.
cwobeaman Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 I'm building two of them....they are by far them most detailed models I have ever seen. Pricey when first release, but have seen them down to $26 dollars direct from Galaxie recently. I really wish that Revell would adopt the quality and attention to detail that Galaxie and Moebius have. It would begin an new era within the hobby for sure. I'm slapping some HoK inca Gold on one of them this weekend and really look forward to every Galaxie or Moebius release.
John Goschke Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Nice! Has a sort of mid '50s look to it!
realgone58 Posted December 21, 2012 Posted December 21, 2012 Beautiful! Would have never thought that light green and light blue would go together, but you've changed my mind..........it looks brilliant!
Dominik Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 beautiful colors - smells like fresh icecream.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted December 24, 2012 Posted December 24, 2012 WOW!!! Very nice Delivery!!! Love the frame detail, and the three carb six banger!!
The70judgeman Posted December 25, 2012 Posted December 25, 2012 That turned out really cool. I have that kit...partially started. Maybe I'll finish it someday.
