Shiny '64 Falcon

[crazyjim]

Thanks Jeff & Shane.

You know me Bart. SHINY :) RULES! Should be mailing you that tunnel ram and other goodies today.

Thanks Dr. Cranky. Even though I use HOK and not enamels, I still use the methods Donn describes in his DVD.

Thank you, Donn. Pearl Ex is cool stuff. I need to do spoons with a black basecoat and shoot the powders over that. By the way, Mr. Stepanek was my Dad.

Thank you Jonathan. The interior fit pretty well.

Curtis - you the the license plate, huh? I've seen better undercarriages but for all I know, this is what the 1:1 Falcon was like.

Thanks, Phil.

Thank you Chris and you too Floyd.

This was the first Trumpeter kit I've ever built. Lots of little parts to put together in the kit. Just the generator is 3 parts. The fan belts are separate pieces too.

Nice, clean look to this one Jim. I love the color and the interior is sweet!

[crazyjim]

Thank you very much, Ron.

[Brizio]

Beautiful, i'm in love with the interior! Great job!

[crazyjim]

Why thank you, Brizio. I wasn't sure about the color combo but it came out pretty good. It's just the kit interior.

Outstanding build Jim! I wanted to get this kit, but I passed on the price tag alone. I thought it was a little too pricey for my blood.

[crazyjim]

Thank you, Mike. I got the kit somewhere for about the same price as an AMT or Revell kit. I should have probably bought 2 or 3 of them but . . . Hindsight always seems to be 20/20.

Jim built something shiny? The devil you say!

Very nice, on a serious note.

[crazyjim]

Yeah. Me. SHINY :) . Can you believe it? Thanks Chuck.

Why thank you, Brizio. I wasn't sure about the color combo but it came out pretty good. It's just the kit interior.

What MM colors did you use on it?

They are a perfect combo for the color scheme!

[Kanedge]

Neatly built, I really like the way interior is done.

sweet

[crazyjim]

Thank you fellas. The interior colors are cream and light tan with light ivory on the floor with Ken's Fuzzi Fur on top of that. The cream was hit with flat.

I don't think I've ever looked at the community build section - yet.

You gonna bring it to the next meeting Jim? I'd like to eyeball the interior, looks great.

That shouldn't be a problem, Don.

May 5, 2012 will be the next meeting of FAST - Florida Auto & Scale Trucks model club meeting at the Hobby Lobby in Ocala. Meeting starts at 10:00am.

(Couldn't resist putting in a blurb for the club, Don)
