Custom Cars

[regular guy]

here's a pic of a custom car show.

i think to build a model of one of these it's a good idea to get

the Squadron Green putty or Testor's Putty.

i don't know which one sticks on the best.

they used a lot of 'candy' paint on these cars then.

some of the kits have customizing parts but

to do it right it takes putty.

car in bottom of picture is a Studebaker.

the stainless band on roof means it's a Speedster model.

i'd like to see more builds like this here.

Those are neat cars and you don't find that many guys out there building classics like that. Perhaps you should build one. I believe there are some great kits available or atleast bodies, frames and motors. I have found Squadron Pruducts fast drying white putty or green putty the best for most applications. Be sure to post your build; I'll be looking foward to seeing it. Ken

For great Putty check out Milliput Super Fine White por Apoxie-Sculpt

just noticed something.

a guy here has his Lindberg '53 Crown Victoria in builds section.

i haven't looked at it.

that is a pretty good choice!

those Lindberg kits are EVERYWHERE!

quality on Lindberg kits i own looks good to me.

don't forget the candy apple paint!

Have A Nice Day!
