James2 Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 (edited) Just finished up this evening, (still need clear headlight lens), pretty basic underneath. Dark grey primer and dull clear, the roof is Tamiya lime green with a clear orange top coat. And a little black lace. The seats are a pattern printed on tissue paper as seen here on MCM. Wheels/tires are from a Impala kit 62/60. Still need a little touch up and clean'n. Thanks for looking.... couple more... Edited March 17, 2013 by James2
High octane Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Looks like it came out of Voodoo Larry's shop. Cool!
Albie D Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Nice finish to an impressive build James. It came out killer!
Sixties Sam Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Very nice! It looks different from any 51 I've seen. Very creative customizing. Sam
Casey Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 When are you going to finish painting the bottom half? Love that side profile view.
James2 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 Thank you for the kind words. Here is a roof shot as requested. I think I could have cleaned it up a little better before clearing, but we all live and learn. It makes a cool shelf model in my cabinet.
trackbound Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 Very cool build J2. Watching Dr. Cranky videos has been making me think about some creative paint jobs...this just pushes me to want to try even more.
James2 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 Thanks again guys, and the good Doctor always has just what you need, doesn't he!
Shardik Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 I love the slightly iridescent sheen of the primered portion. How was this achieved.
guybrush Posted March 17, 2013 Posted March 17, 2013 yeah looks good i like the front looks like a shark
James2 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Posted March 17, 2013 Thank you, I like how the front turned out also. I'll save the truck grill for another project. The lower body was painted with Dull Clear over hot rod primer.
realgone58 Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 Really nice looking build! Dull clear looks great on the primer. And, IMO, you couldn't have picked a better color for the roof!
crazyjim Posted March 18, 2013 Posted March 18, 2013 You're the 2nd builder that's done a SHINY bottom. Is this some new fad or something?
