James2 Posted March 17, 2013 Share 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...

James2 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share 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.

Shardik Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I love the slightly iridescent sheen of the primered portion. How was this achieved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guybrush Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 yeah looks good i like the front looks like a shark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James2 Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realgone58 Posted March 18, 2013 Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 You're the 2nd builder that's done a SHINY bottom. Is this some new fad or something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
