Sixties Sam Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Wow! That's gotta be the best looking 40 Ford I've seen! GREAT work, Marcos! Sam
fatkidd Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Cruz, This thing is absolutely gorgeous! Bravo to you, sir
meaneyme Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Gotta say the article on the Willys you wrote on paint is helping me out a lot, I have learned a few neat tricks just by reading it. I am amazed at how well the BMF looks on this build, looks real shiny and clean. What paint do you use for the black around the windows? The rear one turned out so good. Definitely would make another great cover shot for the mag!

Kevin, I like to use Engine Black from the Polly Scale line of acrylic paints to paint my window trim. It goes on smooth and pretty much levels itself. Also, capillary action helps for the back window on this one, didn't even have to mask it!
cotto Posted April 26, 2013 Posted April 26, 2013 This one is just so clean and smooth man, I don't know how the heck you do it.....
PowerPlant Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 I love 40's coupes, and yours is by far among the nicest I've seen
rmvw guy Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 That paint is some beautiful, amazing work. Wow!
meaneyme Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 I love everything about it man but the paint is just out of this world man. I just purchased the Micro Mesh set of polishing films, is that the one you own?
cruz Posted May 1, 2013 Author Posted May 1, 2013 Thanks guys and yes, I use the Micro Mesh brand of polishing cloths/system.
cotto Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Any shots of the chassis? I am planning on doing one of these soon!
sjordan2 Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 Another killer build. If you shot it outside with a realistic background, it would look like the real thing.
cruz Posted May 26, 2013 Author Posted May 26, 2013 Thanks, this is the chassis...... Hosted on Fotki
drifterdon Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 Holy Schmoley! That is one of the cleanest builds I've ever seen. I keep coming back and just staring at that finish. We are not worthy! We are not worthy!
Modelbuilder Mark Posted May 29, 2013 Posted May 29, 2013 What a super clean looking build Marcos. That is great!
Duntov Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Some seriously nice work on this one!!!! Love the box art build-ups --- you really nailed this one!
unclescott58 Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Marcos what '40 Ford kit is this model based on? I'm a little surprised to kit you built is a "Standard" model rather than a "Deluxe". I don't know much about the '40 Ford coupe kits out there. I do know AMT's '40 Ford sedan delivery sports the Deluxe front end. So I'm a bit surprise to see the Standard front end on a coupe. Please tell me more about this build. By the way, like the others, I'm very impressed with the work you've done on the kit. I'm just curious about the story of why its a Standard and not a Deluxe?
