StevenGuthmiller Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Thanks everybody!! Actually guys, the upholstery pattern is pretty simple. Just started by spraying th entire tub red. Then after cutting a bunch of very thin pieces of tape, I applied them in a "cross hatched" pattern. I then put a light coat of "Dullcoat" over the entire upholstery area. (This helps prevent "bleed under") & what does bleed under is clear. Then I just painted every other rectangle gray or dark red to achieve the "checker board" pattern. After all of the interior is painted, I over coated the entire tub with a light coat of "Ceramcoat" pearl just to give it a nice 50s-60s sheen. Not rocket science, just takes time.

StevenGuthmiller Posted May 10, 2014 Author Share Posted May 10, 2014 Thanks for all of the great comments guys! Makes me want to get busy on the next one. I agree Al. I think the '59 was the nicest looking of the three also. A little more "subdued" than the '58, & the '60 was pretty much a '60 Ford with a "face lift".

Lovefordgalaxie Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 A very very well done Edsel. Just love those cars, and you did her justice. I built a '59 Galaxie from a AMT junior kit, and I like the junior kit's tires a lot better than the annual kit rock hard tires. In terms of model kits, this is what I love, metal axles, screws on the bottom, and no engine. I think I was born too late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Thanks every body! Tulio, I agree 100%. I love the new & the old kits. Just so happens, most of the subject matter I really love was made back then. The cars I love from that late 50s, early 60s time period are woefully under represented today. So it's metal axles & screw bottoms for me! At least for the time being. By the way, I have that same '59 Ford kit coming up in my build que. At this point I think it will be painted "Geranium" and white. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
