maltsr Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) My local model club's next theme night is 'Any colour you like, as long as it's not shiny'. Most of my builds are shiny, so it hasn't been easy for me to create an entry for that evening. However I managed to avoid the temptation of gloss and polishing cloths to produce this early Ford. Paint is Tamiya metallic blue covered with Testor's Dullcote. The Revell '37 has basic plumbing and wiring, the wheels are my current favourite, Radirs from the Thundebolt kit, wrapped in tyres and decals from the Revell '32 5 window. The exhaust tips are aluminium tubing and the taillights are Model Car Garage items from the 1932 Ford Coupe sheet. The firewall is gloss white (shhh!) so I hope I can remain a member of Jim's Shiny Club Thanks for looking. Edited February 12, 2012 by maltsr
DumpyDan Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Nice! The 37 turned out really nice, what you did with the color is cool. BRAVO!
CaptainAhab Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 love the testors dull coat. Great stuff.BEAUTIFUL build man! pinstriping on the back fits just right and your black wash on the grill is sweet. Kudos

crazyjim Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 NIce lookin' build, Paul - especially the SHINY :) firewall. That was cute with the shiny comment, but I think you need to find a new club. Doesn't your club realize that SHINY :) RULES!?

espo Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 The '37 Fords used to be called the "ugly duckling". This one looks great !!

rmvw guy Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Love the 37's and this one looks terrific! Thanks for the tip on where to get the wheels. I've been looking for a set of these.
Chris M Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Beautiful build! Did you spray the dullcote direct from the can or airbrush?
maltsr Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 Beautiful build! Did you spray the dullcote direct from the can or airbrush? Thanks Chris (and everyone else) The paint was straight from the can, I have yet to use an airbrush
jaymcminn Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Great color combination on a spotless build... what more could you want?
zaina Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Very nice. Love that color! I definitely will be using it in the future.
