charlie8575 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 *Drool* I don't think Wixom ever turned out one that shiny. Charlie Larkin
crazyrichard Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 one of the most realistic looking plastic models i have seen place this strategicly in a real environment and you wont know its a model on the pictures that painjob is insanely nice !!
Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 My friends, thank you a lot for all the cool comments!! I'm glad if by looking at my little Bird some of you guys decide to build one, because those cars are not common to see built, like Jon Cole said, and they are cool little cars!!! About that shine, I would put the blame on the two part automotive clear. It was the first time I used the stuff, and man, I will use it from now one for sure!! Compared to "regular" modeling clear, it had about 10X the shine, not to mention it's made to resist being on a 1:1 car, so I guess the finish will remain in perfect condition for decades. It airbrushes very well, and I would recomend it for sure.
jaydar Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 May i ask what you painted the interior with? Black interiors throw me a bit and yours looks great! Joe.
gtx6970 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 OUTSTANDING, I keep thinking about picking one of these up to build for myself. Pictures make it look almost real. Well done.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted January 26, 2013 Author Posted January 26, 2013 May i ask what you painted the interior with? Black interiors throw me a bit and yours looks great! Joe. Joe, I painted the "carpeting" with Testors flat black enamel, and the seats, door panels, console and dash with Testors semi gloss black acrylic. After the foil was done, I gave a coat of semi gloss clear (Tamiya) to help with the anodized aluminum efect, as it's not as shinny as chrome.
ChevyCoupe41 Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Beautiful!! That paint job is awesome and all of that car looks amazing! Very nice job!
bogger44 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Stunningly beautiful build, Tulio. That green is very sharp, and the shine is simply incredible.
Karl LaFong Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Nice work! Haven't seen that shade of green before.

ChrisR Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Nice model. Looks like the real deal in some of the photos. Your photography is also great.
W-409 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 What A Paint Job! WOW!!! It looks like Glass Finish to me, simply outstanding. Not only the paint is spectacular, the whole car looks Very good to me. You did excellent job again, thanks for sharing this one.
