cruz Posted August 17, 2007 Author Share Posted August 17, 2007 I am also going with the embossing powder trick that one of the guys posted not long ago, it really does work nicely and better than the flocking and what I like best is that it can be painted any color you desire, in this case I just went flat black but the possibilities are endless......

Randy Kern Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Looking good, Cruz! I'll have to get some embossing powder and try that method. Hmmm..... a good seminar at a club meeting perhaps?! Hey, what color and brand of paint are you using? That's an eye popping color! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Looking good, Cruz! I'll have to get some embossing powder and try that method. Hmmm..... a good seminar at a club meeting perhaps?! Hey, what color and brand of paint are you using? That's an eye popping color! Hey Randy, like always, nice to hear from you man. The color I will be using for the exterior is the same one you are seeing here for my interior which is Evening Orchid and I will be painting the roof white. I was going to go with the Wimbledon White on the roof just like the inserts in the seats but I kinda want to see some contrast with the interior and exterior. I am using the Testors Lacquers for the Orchid and Tamiya pure white for the roof. Hopefully I can have this one done for the September Showdown man................

cruz Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 And this is where I am on the build. I decided to paint the body last for I feel that if I paint it now I will get a little desperate to get it done and probably cheat on the details that I still want to add...........Hope you guys like it.

Fisher61 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Looking great, Marcos! I've always preferred the new tool AMT '57 over the older one. What do you think of it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Looking great, Marcos! I've always preferred the new tool AMT '57 over the older one. What do you think of it ?

Moon Pie Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Looking great, Marcos! I've always preferred the new tool AMT '57 over the older one. What do you think of it ? I'm not Marcos, but as you can see, I have always been a big fan of the AMT '57 Chevy. It was one of my first "big" kits, back in the 60s. But... ... that tooling is very old and showing it's age now. While I have yet to do one of the new ones, I have looked at them and was very impressed with what I saw. I look forward to building one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 LOVE the interior color on that bro! That looks very close to Dusk Pearl which is a '57 color for Chevy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Marcos, that is gorgeous! I knew it would be from your in progress shots though. I love the engine details. Great work! Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moon Pie Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 That looks very close to Dusk Pearl which is a '57 color for Chevy. I was gonna ask what color he used for that. It is gorgeous. I know that Testors has a color very similiar to Dusk Pearl in their 2-part system. Look forward to seeing the finished project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 Well guys, this is Evening Orchid Metallic used in 65' or so, just finished painting and clearing it last night. Of course I still have to finish the roof which will be in white and BMF the trim and stuff.. Have it in the food dehydrator right now, can't wait to polish this baby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted August 26, 2007 Author Share Posted August 26, 2007 I usually scribe my door panel lines pretty deep exactly for this reason, I don't like to just fill them up with paint or anything specially after having the car painted.........
