Ace-Garageguy Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I really like the final shape you've come up with and the black looks great. Nice vision and follow-through, and nice job saving it after the paint problems. Well done.
bryan_m Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 nice bodywork and paint! it came out really nice, looks like its ready to hit the salt flats! that black looks really slick on there. cheers bryan
DrKerry Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 Ya know Richard, first, don't know how I missed this one.... Second I was gonna call you "crazy" for sure wanting to tear that great car apart......... then I saw where you were going and one thought came to my mind!!!!!!! "Kerry, SHUT UP and let the man build"!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This looks friggin' AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
crazyrichard Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) haha thnx kerry well i looked at some tyre weathering from the salt flats .... mild ... bit more where the sidewalls also are kind of white body very weathered but the tyres a bit less after looking at more my conclusion was i just want a milder weathering , also on the body i will only do a mild spray where it came of the wheels , dont want a all weathered car with the gloss paint i believe the state of teh salt also plays part in the stickyness and ?? like when its more wet / moist it will stick more to a car ?? now this is my base weathering with the white pigment .. a note i can make like the salt specs on the tyre thread but i want to do that when they are finally fixed to the car because then i dont have to hold the tyres anymore Edited January 24, 2014 by crazyrichard
cartpix Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 I like it better in black. Can't wait to see more.
bryan_m Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 im not sure what youre going to use for "salt" but, how about baking soda? just make sure you seal it well. cheers bryan
crazyrichard Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 thnx guys and i will use the pigment for salt when i sprinkle it its just perfect .....
Dinky Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 The black will be very cool with the chrome wheels and the salt
crazyrichard Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 sprayed the chassis black .. when this is dry i can go in with chrome and do the axle , brakes , struts chrome and then add some salt to the undercarridge the white pigment poweder on the tyres .. is doesnt rub off it is like hardened or ...? so thats good news !!
crazyrichard Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 thnx kerry ! i made the sidewalls of the tyres a bit less white and looked how they looked on the chassis then painted some chrome on the axle , brakes , hairpin and some small parts then went trough my decal collection , didnt have the patience to waight and buy decal paper .. found some green flames with white .. i never been a flame guy , like i'm not crazy on flames .. but i could see the green ones on the black would spice it up and give the body some detail.. cut them up to match the body added some numbers ... even found a bonneville decal and put it on the back (to small for the picture) and sprayed it all gloss clear .... and well >>> hard to get the flames on picture they turn white but its green with a bit of white maybe in the evening i canmake better pics of the flames
crazyrichard Posted January 25, 2014 Author Posted January 25, 2014 hold a wheel in front , looks great and imidiatly makes it look like a car best pic i could get right now but thats a real bonneville decal well eventhough i never was fond of flames i'm glad i did it on this one , makes it more alive , plain black would have been to boring on this model desided to start the bottom weathering with a slight haze of white powder like the salt is dry and its more like dry haze .. later when everything is put together i can create salt specs .. i dotn want to overdo it since the body is soo shiney .. i just want it clean / shiney bit looking like its been on the salt
bryan_m Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 this just keeps gettin better! nice work cheers bryan
