Ira Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 Ira……..I Love it!!!!………nice detail and painting. Thanks for the kind words my friend! I really appreciate it...
Ira Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 Arms! I fit the Drivers in the Cockpit so that I could position their Arms. When I got an Arm in position I would put on some Zap-A-Gap to hold it. I applied some Formula 560 White Glue in the Arm Joints. After it dried I touch up the colors again. Then I applied a light Black Wash on the Drivers. After the Wash dried I sprayed them with Testors Dullcoat. More Coming...
Ira Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 Dash Details! I used Toothpicks and Acrylic Paint to highlight the small details on the Dashboards. I picked up these Dashboard Details on Ebay. The originals were printed on plastic film. I found this plastic film a little hard to work with so I made photo quality copies in different sizes. Now I have different sizes on photo paper that can apply anyway I want to. Here is the Front Dash with the New Details. I used two-sided tape to hold the Details in place. Here is the Rear Dash! More Coming...
Ira Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 Hate to say it...but it's too nicely finished! It needs to be more beat up and weathered, in my opinion. They were fighting a battle...no time to shine up stuff...patch it and go! I do still love this! It always amazes me where and how you use what is at hand...low-rider wheels, tank halves, jewels, grebelies...great stuff! Thanks Tony! I do plan on doing some more Weathering & Damage after I get it mounted on a Scenic Base...

Ira Posted June 15, 2014 Author Posted June 15, 2014 Bare Metal! I decided to add a little more Chrome! I am using Bare Metal Foil, a self adhesive Chrome Foil. Here is the top section done. Here is the side detail without the Chrome Foil. Here is the Side with the Foil applied. I will brush a Black Wash over the Chrome later, to tone it down a little. More Coming...

Ira Posted June 17, 2014 Author Posted June 17, 2014 (edited) More BMF! I added Bare Metal Foil to the four doors just behind the head lights. I also cut out some Fine Screen and glued in in place in the chassis opening as shown. Then I added BMF to the two rectangular parts in the Leg Joints too. More Coming... Edited June 17, 2014 by Ira
