REDNECK7109 Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 Well this is a project I've been puttering around with for a while. It's a simple car just done. No real detail work but I think it came out great except for not having headlights lol... comments welcome!
DeeCee Posted May 28, 2014 Posted May 28, 2014 It's still a cool looking build mate, great color too.
REDNECK7109 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Posted May 28, 2014 Thanks alot guys definitely appreciate it!!! Thanks alot guys definitely appreciate it!!!
gwolf Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Looks great! I can never accomplish a nice glossy paint job like that. The headlights are always a pain on the '32s. I have built them without headlights or side mirrors or whatever was hard to glue in place and think about the line in the Stray Cats song Built For Speed, "haven't gotten 'round to getting license plates."

REDNECK7109 Posted May 30, 2014 Author Posted May 30, 2014 Hi Bobby, yep. Looks like a hot rod to me. Cool color too. Nice and clean. Which kit is it? Michael This is the special edition reissue kit that revell made into a skill 3 2n1. I comees with alot of extra parts and a complete extra motor wwhich is a 5.0 carbed. It's a Nice kit but it's definitely quirky. There's a handful of major parts that just aren't molded right. If I had my time over and could've prepared for it that I would've went crazy with detail but those parts just frustrated the snot out of me lol Thanks Michael .

Yeah those headlights suck lol. Next time I'll scratch build something different or whatever. But on the glossy finish topic... it's crazy how I got that glossy finish. I layed down 3 coats of testors one coat Lacquer. The firsttwo I let dry on the shelf but the third I put near the stove after my wife was fonished cooking and it dried fast and smooth so I decided to open the little toaster oven and leave the door down and turn it to 225 degrees and I sprayed 2 coats of lacquer clear and just let take it in the heat and turning the car a quarter every 5 mins ( car was about 10 inches inside of the toaster oven ).... no need for all that sanding. Came out great... have yet to try it with enamel. I'll let you know. Thanks man
