pharoah Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 This is the first model I've built in almost two years. I wanted to build something simple,and they don't get much simpler than this. AMT 40 Ford sedan,built as a 39,just to be different. I added another exhaust pipe,and modified the headers a little.Interior is pretty basic,just added flocking on the floor. The paint is Tamiya coral blue. It's no contest model like a lot of other members put on here,but it was something to get me started building again. Hope you like it.

pharoah Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks guys! Like I said,the paint is Tamiya. straight from the spray can. No polish or wet sanding. Love it! As for the background,it's not really a diorama,but just a backdrop. I have a couple of them I use instead of just a plain background. Here's the whole thing. Its painted on illustration board.

charlie8575 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Nice build- looks good as an early '60s rod. I like the back-drop. Did you actually paint that up yourself? If so, that's fantastic work! Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pharoah Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks Charlie. Yes I did paint that. It's another hobby of mine. I got the idea from one of the 'other' car model magazines. They used plaster to make it 3-D. I thought-I could do that with paint! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pharoah Posted October 26, 2013 Author Share Posted October 26, 2013 I was born in 52,so I remember stores that had the outside walls painted with advertising like that. You don't see that anymore. Too bad.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
