sk8erdave Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Got my act together and took advantage of the hot weather,(even if it did rain of the drag racing at santa pod at the weekend!!!) and my better understanding of spray paint/paint prep, and having a break from painting warhammer 40k. This is built straight out the box, is missing a couple of parts I dropped and haven't found yet, but its done and on the shelf. The interior is black, the engine is blue with chrome rover covers. Nothing special. The body is ford burgandy red and the hood is chaos black spray (undercoat from games workshop, on top of primer of course) I painted the wheels so they weren't just chrome. I started by painting black in inbetween the sqaure holes as a base, then a dark metal colour, followed by a black wash, then the same colour leaving the now darker colour arround the edges, then a lighter metal colour down the middle of that (make sense?) I used citadel paints from games workshop for a lot of it, including wheels and interior. (Games workshop aka Warhammer paints- I'm familiar with them, they mix easy, water based.) Engine and exhaust were revell paints. Its also the first time I used bare metal foil on a model. Its a bit rough round the edges in places but it looks ok and I'm getting better at it. Can take more pics if wanted. I have a revell '49 merc kustom in colour, the body just needs to cure then be attached to the chassis and also a '62 pontiac catalina 421SD in primer with the chassis assembled and interior painted, hopefully get that sprayed this weekend. Lets clear the to-do pile of a few years!! KEEP THE HOT WEATHER COMING!!!
Guest Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Looks good, pics are not the best. Closer and no background clutter would be ideal.
DynoMight Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Looks good, only thing I would've changed is the rims, maybe some Cragars or Torq-Thrusts would've looked nice.
sk8erdave Posted June 30, 2014 Author Posted June 30, 2014 Yeah i agree about the pics. They were taken with my phone. I'll do better in the future. They're the stock/kit rims so thats what I went with
