62 Impala

OK, so not one of my best builds...and surely not the best pictures. (They were taken with an iphone) But I figured, what the heck. I'm gonna make it my first under glass.

As stated 62 Impala Revell California wheels edition. It is box stock except for parts box wheels, tires, and a little suspension manipulation. Negative Camber on the front end is intentional. Paint is Duplicolor appliance white and Testors lime ice with one shot wet look clear. I intentionally ditched the badging on the car.

I probably should have used foil instead of silver on this one but, despite the crappy pics, the green really shines and I didn't want to take away from it. Like I said, not my best and horrible photography but, here goes. I may take more, and better pics later and post them up.

Glad I did post it now...I just noticed I need to make some adjustments on the grille.

Nice looking build...

Nice, pics are a bit dark, I think if you had used foil, it would have mad the green pop out more.

Looks good to me other than the pics are a little fuzzy and a bit dark, and I have to agree with Lee BMF would have made the green reall POP, great job overall!!

It looks like you did a really nice job with the green paint Ken. Your details look nice too! I would suggest getting a piece of white poster board, bending it in up so it has a base and a background, and placing your models on there for shots. It will help your camera focus better if you continue to use your iPhone for shots.

Thanks guys. I am thinking of going back and foiling the chrome strip down the side now. But I think I am pretty dead set on leaving the window moldings silver.

I agree with the comments on the shody pics. I was in a hurry when I took them and didn't take time to make em right. I think I am going to take Ben's advice and set up some white poster board and do so in a brighter room.

Thanks for all the comments and constructive criticism. Feels good not to get ripped to shreds lol.
