Greg Pugh Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I'm loving this build! That color combination is awesome!
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks guys! I'm getting very close to finishing up this build. A couple of small details to pick out with some paint & then assembly can begin, & as you know, assembly on these old annuals doesn't amount to much! I'm hoping I can put it "Under Glass" tomorrow night. We'll see how it goes. Steve
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Finished up the interior tonight! I think it turned out pretty well considering the "Tupperware container" I started with! Steve
mustang1989 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Tupperware container! LOL. That interior looks like there was a lot of effor, patience and time put into it Steve. Wow!!! You really knocked it out of the park with that one.
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Thanks Joe. I didn't do a lot of re-working on it, just added a few details & paint. Not perfect but I like to try and keep these old annuals as true to their origin as possible. Within reason of course! Steve
66belair Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Looking great I could use some handles like those. I will have to look them up.
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 Looking great I could use some handles like those. I will have to look them up. The handles I used were just some PE pieces I had on hand. The resin ones look great, but I have yet to try them. I may try to round some up as well. Steve
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 1, 2015 Author Posted March 1, 2015 I just looked back at the date that I first posted this project & realized it was started way back in May! Although the project itself wasn't physically started until shortly before the first of February. So in actuality, I made pretty good time & managed to make my goal of a March 1st finish. This one has been a long time coming, always in the back of my mind, and I guess I'm pleased with the result. Haven't shot any photos to post yet, but I suspect I should be posting in "Under Glass" sometime this evening. Thank you all, for your enthusiastic participation in this project. I hope to not draw the next one out this long! Steve
Ramfins59 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Great looking interior Steven. I look forward to seeing it Under Glass.
Greg Pugh Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Is it just the picture, or is the tub really that shallow? Looks amazing by the way!!
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 2, 2015 Author Posted March 2, 2015 Is it just the picture, or is the tub really that shallow? Looks amazing by the way!! All of these AMT '58 interior tubs were this shallow Greg. I think interiors were somewhat of an after thought this early in the modeling world. I've built a '58 Pontiac, Buick & now the Ford. All were very shallow & void of much detail. The early Johan kits were no better. steve
Tom Geiger Posted March 3, 2015 Posted March 3, 2015 Is it just the picture, or is the tub really that shallow? Looks amazing by the way!! People were much shorter back then!
StevenGuthmiller Posted March 3, 2015 Author Posted March 3, 2015 People were much shorter back then! I never thought of that! Steve
