jrherald420 Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 I built this one for my wife. The car is her dream car and the color is what her new 2013 Ford Festiva is, well pretty close to it anyways. Its Testors One coat Lime Ice lacquer with the Wet look Testors clear coat. Didnt do any detailing to this one because the wife didnt want it to have any. Its just going to sit on the shelf in her office. I did BMF the trim though. Not the type of work i like to do but it makes her happy and when shes happy i get to buy modeling supplys and not get yelled at for it!!

Sixties Sam Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Nice! Great color, really pops! Good work. Sam
peekay Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Very nice! And for someone who doesn't like foiling you sure do it well.
jrherald420 Posted December 18, 2013 Author Posted December 18, 2013 Very nice! And for someone who doesn't like foiling you sure do it well. lol Thanks, i dont mind it now ive done several cars. Its very easy now. On this one the rear window is one solid piece of foil and each drip rails are 3 scraps on each one. The windshield is 3 pieces and the hood foil is done from 4 pieces of scraps from the winshield. I have over half a sheet left and ive done i think 6 cars so far from that half sheet.
PowerPlant Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Looks much better with accentuated panel lines, and you did a great job with BMF! Sweet looking car
jrherald420 Posted December 18, 2013 Author Posted December 18, 2013 There is come cars that can pull off not doing the panel lines but this green just needed it...bad.
customsrus Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 great looking Chevelle. the green looks good on this build.
jaydar Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Great looking Chevelle. When Momma's happy.......
jrherald420 Posted December 19, 2013 Author Posted December 19, 2013 Thanks guys, i must say the Heavy Chevy kit gave me no problems at all. Quite nice to see a kit go together like this. I will be posting the Superbird i finished after dinner.
Greg Cullinan Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Looks great. Love the color with the stripes.
jrherald420 Posted December 20, 2013 Author Posted December 20, 2013 She wanted black stripes but i talked her into the white ones. Needless to say she agreed that the white ones look better.
