realgone58 Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Just finished this one up last night. Had to take a break from BMF. Box stock build, paint is Testors laquer Electric Pink with a coat of Krylon acrylic red glitter in clear, with two coats of Dominion clear over that to smooth it all out. The bottom of the tub was sprayed with Krylon Fusion textured shimmer in metallic black. I think it did a pretty good job of replicating "bass boat" fiberglass. I used Vinyl Nation redlines on the kit supplied tires. There was too much chrome going on, so I stripped the engine and sprayed it silver, pipes are white to replicate ceramic header paint. For the seats, I used some of my daughter's nail polish, about a shade darker than the body color.
TheRX7Project Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Nice color, especially the heavy metal flake, just how they made 'em!
Draggon Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Thats great. The color fits it perfectly as do the seats and the textured shimmer on the tub. Darryl's redlines are a great touch. Yours is the first reissue I've seen with the sand tires. Very nice work, I dig it!
bbowser Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Very cool. Just like I wanted to build back in the day. Great model.
rmvw guy Posted April 27, 2013 Posted April 27, 2013 Nice job! Nice combination with the colors, tires and top.
