Scottnkat Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Here's my Firebird 400 all finished. I added flocking to the interior floor and door panels, I wired the engine, and sprayed the car in Wet & Wild Under My Spell nailpolish. I also tried my hand at using decals for the redline tires - I can use some more experience with this as I kinda stunk. Here's the interior and the engine one final pic
rrenz Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Nice. I just built two of these. Those tire decals are a major pain for sure but look great.
rv1963 Posted November 3, 2013 Posted November 3, 2013 Nice bird, don't think I have ever seen one in this color before looks pretty good like that.
Speedfreak Posted November 4, 2013 Posted November 4, 2013 The interior shot looks almost 1:1. How did you do the steering wheel? Looks almost like wood.
Scottnkat Posted November 4, 2013 Author Posted November 4, 2013 Thanks, guys. The plug wires were actually a purple color that looked like it would go with the nailpolish color when the nailpolish was still in the bottles. The body ended up darker than I thought it would, but I liked it. Unfortunately, the engine had already been done by that point, so I was stuck with that wire color. The woodgrain on the inside was painted with Testors dark brown, then I drybrushed tan on and used a paper towel to wipe most off - it leaves some streaks, but it's not overly done. When that was done, I used a quick wash of thinned down black, then coated it in Pledge for the shine. ...and yeah, my son calls this my Hot Wheels model.
modeler98 Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Looks awesome! Did you bmf the trim around the windows?
