Lyle Willits Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Buick grille from Revell Merc kit. Frenched lights. Bumpers from new Revell '48 Ford kit. Paint is Duplicolor silver and metallic blue. Tried to creat kind of an IN SCALE lace paint job by "stippling" black paint with a stubby brush onto the silver. All buried under Testors Wet Look clear and polished. Caddy wheel covers from the long defunct SJS Resin.
Dr. Cranky Posted December 14, 2011 Posted December 14, 2011 Love the stippling effect, Lyle! Great paint and great details throughout. Another fine model in your collection!
Erik Smith Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) Very nice looking Hudson. Nice combo on the paint. I like the engine colors too. Cool. Do Buick grills look good on everything? Edited December 15, 2011 by Erik Smith
RodneyBad Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Great Looking Hudson.. Paint and Engine detail looks Sweeeeeeeeeeet..
cruz Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Very cool, engine detail looks great, hope to see it at the meeting on Saturday!!
DumpyDan Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Very Nice! I am working on a Hudson also, you have done a great job. Color combo, and I was not sure what to do with my engine compartment, but now you have given me some ideas. BRAVO!
W-409 Posted December 15, 2011 Posted December 15, 2011 Cool Custom. I like that color combo, and paintjob is very cool. I like that grille too, it makes this look really different, but I think, it's a good thing. Engine detailing looks beautiful too, gray ignition wires look factory made. Thanks for sharing this amazing Hudson.
Peter Lombardo Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 Really nice, I especially like the "under hood" work, I have a feeling that this car is going to be difficult to customize, unlike the '49 Mercury. I have the kit and look at the body from time to time and just can't get a good feel for what to do to it. I really like what you did here, not overdone, very classy and tasteful. The two tone paint sets it off nicely. Another of your typical well done super clean mild customs that always seem very believable.
mikemodeler Posted December 16, 2011 Posted December 16, 2011 It has been said but what a beautiful job on that Hudson Lyle! Nice details and paint, looks perfect!
Chuck Most Posted December 20, 2011 Posted December 20, 2011 Awesome job, Lyle! Only thing better than a Hudson Hornet is a period custom Hudson Hornet.
Zed Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 Do Buick grills look good on everything? Yeah fo sure ! even more when they are from a Desoto !
bsoder Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 That's just beautiful Lyle!!.. the silver/blue looks fantastic B)
scale trucker Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 very nice i like it..but the grille is a desoto
geetee66 Posted December 27, 2011 Posted December 27, 2011 Wow! super gloss finish and the stippled black does look like a lace pattern. I particularly like the interior and engine details. I like the licencew plate, too! Inspriational.....
