Porscheman Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 It was a good day to build a slammer soup to nuts, paint, bare metal, window tint and wheels. This was a fun project. Al
gtx6970 Posted February 8, 2013 Posted February 8, 2013 In a day?? you sir suck,( jk ) I can't get that much done in a month
Porscheman Posted February 8, 2013 Author Posted February 8, 2013 I used Testors Black Lacquer polished out 20 minutes after I painting with the Treatment and then one pass of Tamiya clear blue for windows. Next Bare Metal Foil and the wheels were done with a fine black Sparpie, some Tamiya tints for side markers and you have a nice slammer. Also being retired helps. Al
Ramfins59 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Great job Al. Being retired gives us a LOT of time for pursuing our hobby doesn't it..??
cobraman Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Was that one of those Alaskan days that last 6 months ? Very nice.
charlie8575 Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 The Tamiya clear blue does a pretty convincing job of simulating the Soft-Ray tinted glass. Overall a very nice build. There's something to be said for curbside kits that assemble quickly. Charlie Larkin
Porscheman Posted February 9, 2013 Author Posted February 9, 2013 Wow! One day? Even with laquer, how did you get it to dry enough to work with that quick? What kit is that? She's drop dead beautiful! I use a floor heater to accelerate the drying times, been using this method for years with great results. The kit is the 70 Buick Wildcat. Not many pieces, but a lot of fun to build. I doing another slammer today, the 65 Rivera. I already painted it in Tamiya Maroon and is front of my heater. I'll post the finished car later today. Thank everyone Al
Dominik Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 Oha! For a 1-day-built? pretty nice and clean! Well done, love the Buicks Al.
W-Machine Posted February 9, 2013 Posted February 9, 2013 In ONE day! Are you pulling my leg? That Buick looks great!
