MikeyB08 Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Here's my Revell 1963 Impala build. Pretty much box stock other than the hoses. Slowly getting into the whole wire plumbing ordeal. I really enjoyed this build. Parts fit together nicely. Only problem I had was with the body meeting the chassis. Just a little bit of warp but after a little bit of fiddling it set right. Exterior paint: Rust-O-Leum double Coverage Blue. Interior: Rust-O-Leum Silver Metallic and Blue Metallic. Any/All comments are welcome. I'm always open to constructive criticism. Enjoy... Sorry for the dull pictures. Will have to take some more when the sun returns.
MikeyB08 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Posted August 8, 2013 Thanks for the comments fella's. I'm finally upping my game on my models so hopefully they will turn out better.
crazyjim Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Looks really nice but I think you need to use a different color paint to pick out highlights - exhaust, firewall, etc. I have a personal thing against gloss interiors - but that's just me. Sounds negative, but I like your build.
MikeyB08 Posted August 8, 2013 Author Posted August 8, 2013 I agree 100%. I need to buy some Semi-Gloss/ Flat/ Matte colors for my interiors and such. I've been selfish on buying models instead of building a wide selection of paints to use for detailing. Given the pictures show the metallic more than what my eye really sees. I'm still at the point where I think $4 for a 1 oz. bottle of paint is ridiculous. Plus I'm a big Spray Can guy. I'm working on getting an air compressor so that I can start airbrushing to add more detail and colors for my interiors.
