'08SEAL Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) This is my F-1 Cannonball build. Wasn't the farm truck look I was wanting but it looks nice in this shade of blue. Had to sand and paint a few times because of paint that gathered and looked black. I just clear coated but haven't posted pictures. I painted the bed first. I know it's not the greatest but I don't do BMF so.... I can't decide steelies or chrome wheels? Here's the kit. This is the body. Just painted and no clear. Here's the hood. This is the bed. NO BMF. And here's the paint I'm using. Dupli-Color Ford Royal Blue. Edited January 29, 2012 by '08SEAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Nice looking paint job there. Nice color too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'08SEAL Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Good start, but why don't you do bare metal? Just curious. I just don't. I have never bought any. I never plan to anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottnkat Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) I knew a guy that built a similar model - didn't use BMF either - he just used some 1/8 inch silver pinstriping tape between the boards - it looked pretty good. Just a suggestion... Love the color - that's great Edited January 23, 2012 by Scottnkat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathskull59 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 cool truck but you can touch up those sloppy looking areas on the bed. with some brown paint to make it look better. thats what i do when things on my models look kinda sloppy.

espo Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Looks great,! If your'e painting the bed strips you could try lightly running a #11 blade to out line the molding. I've used this to help keep the paint from bleeding out onto the wood. This is a nice model, but I straggled with the grill/lower front fenders. There is very little to support the two parts where they are joined. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'08SEAL Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) I got some done today. I got the engine finished. Here's the interior. The nut is only there to hold the steering wheel up. Here's the dash. It's not in the interior because I need to get the nut out. Here are the wheels. Body color. This is what silver paint and some paint brushes. Remember NO BMF HERE. Now I can't decide. Side pipes or no?

A.R.C. Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Looking good Seal, nice pick on the color. I painted a motorcycle that same blue a few years ago. It looks gorgeous out in the sun under a few coats of clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
