Super sharp! I hadn't seen this one yet. Great work and awesome color! I really like that color against that silver dust pan behind the front bumper.

At first I tried to wash the panel lines with a very dark version of the body color. It wasn't much realistic.
Then I had the idea of washing the body color over that, and now it's a lot better.
I'll do this on my next builds with automotive paint.

I am becoming a really big fan of yours Tulio. (Wish i could figure how to get the little accent mark over the "u" in Tulio out of respect for you.). The panel lines increase the realism of your model immensely. I also enjoyed the video and love your taste in music on it, very much goes with the car. I can't wait to see what you show us next.

Thanks a lot guys.

You won't believe this, but after all that fuss I removed the paint on the washes and the car is now just like she was when I first built her.
Why?

Believe me or not I, and it's a ME thing, was thinking the wash made the Ford to look modely, to copy a word Harry used.

It improves the realism on pictures, but with the car on hand it's just very artificial looking.

The Revell kit has very superficial panel lines on the trunk, and on the front of the doors. The wash gets too much on the surface, and even being on a correct color it looks as bad as a black wash.

I think that the way Marcos Cruz posted is the best, if not the only to produce a realistic panel line, and I will try it... On a '57 Ford, of course!!!
