peekay Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Had a look at the Plymouth too - both great models. I assume you've built models of other things besides cars to have arrived at this level of expertise. Very nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Wow! Stunning! AMT's kit I assume? You took the time to remove the molded in wipers and add kit ones. Which ones did you use? Stellar. What are the colors? Excellent photography as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillyb1 Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 Bardzo dobry! The antenna is an excellent detail and looks just right. My brother almost bought one of these back around 1979. We test drove it together and I loved it. Now I have to go look as the Plymouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v264 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Thanks,dziękuję. Phil, it's just a piece of black acrylic and black cardstock. And two lamps. That's all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v264 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 I wanted to build Ford Mustang really, but that’s what I saw on the auction website: It was a typical, old AMT model: I cut out the door handles: I got rid of the sidelights and emblems: And the wipers: I cut out the air inlet and pasted the stripes of polystyrene on: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v264 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Thereafter out of the stripes: I made an imitation of the garnish mouldings: I got along with the vinyl roof: I used alternately black matt paint and gloss one. Low pressure and from the long range: All of the body was painted with silver Motip spray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v264 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Thereafter I masked the roof: And sprayed the model with a few thin layers of clear blue – Gunze C50: Then with a few clear Gunze GX100 layers After a few days I used a polishing paste.

v264 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 I made a headlining with a polystyrene sheet: And got along with the originally stark interior: I made some new details: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
