rmvw guy Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) This is a two year old build. I had two kits the AMT Classic and the older Lindberg offering that were basically the same. The idea was to make a before and after. Hope you enjoy. http:// 1181.photobucket.com Edited October 14, 2015 by rmvw guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartster Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Very nice restoration theme. I've thought about doing this to get some experience with weathering. Looks like it was a fun time ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Excellent, I like both, the crusty and rusty and the smooth and classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eshaver Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I must say IMPRESSIVE builds on both counts . This isn't exactly a throw it together kit as too many of the supension pieces are very tought to get off the sprues . . I built this one as part of one of my service station dioramas several years back . Ed Shaver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Kool set of white wall tires on the builds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjordan Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Just outstanding work on a kit that isn't seen very often. Beautiful stuff. One question...wouldn't the trashed-out version have nastier or flat tires, or some wheels without tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 This is a neat shade of red. What paint did you use on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpa Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Two very nice cars Ron. The weathering looks great. I can see that the vents on the sides of the hood are open. Did you open these yourself? If so...I tip my hat to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmvw guy Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 (edited) First of all thanks to everyone who commented on this thread. This is a two year old build way before I knew about the Forum. I have learned a lot from you guys already, I love it here! I wish I was half as good as some of you. To answer all questions; I didn't put much wear on tires two years ago I admit the first one would look way better with more distress, the paint was Dupli Color cranberry (I don't know if they still make it) on the second one, although the vents may appear to be opened I assure you they are not, I wish I was that good. Sorry Harry for being a little slow at the beginning with my photos, I had not yet dowloaded them to Photobucket when I began this post so, had to stop and take care of that. I promise I will get better. Edited April 29, 2012 by rmvw guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
