crazyjim Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 Thank you Ron. I thought gray shades would be really cool with the body color. Oh well - I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
om617 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Looks nice,the grey areas look like metal to me,guess it`s in the eye of the beholder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Thanks Tommy. Looking back, I probably should have used acrylic paint for the wood instead of enamel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Rick Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Hey Jim, go the simple route, no need to redo the whole thing, just put some wood grain adhesive vinyl in the panel areas, tape off around the border trim & brush on a darker brown ( before you put the vinyl on ) .......... & consider it done !! - those panels are fairly flat, just make paper templates first & place the wood on ...... you could hand paint a wood grain on there; but that's a project in itself & I don't know what you'd be gaining. I do think the overall build looks great anyways !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 Thanks for the idea Rick. I'll probably just leave it like it is and get my hands on another kit and try it again - with acrylic paints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
