atomicholiday Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Built this one about 12 years ago or so. This was the last one I finished before I took an extended break. The pics look a little fuzzy to me. Sorry, my hands shake a little more than they used to when taking pictures. But hey, the vision is going too, so maybe they aren't as blurry as I think! haha! I know now that some of the colors aren't correct, but when I built this I didn't have internet to look up reference photos. Not making excuses though. Body color was a custom mix of Testors enamels airbrushed on and then clear coated. Chassis was some kind of cheap rattle can stuff I got at wal-mart. Won't be using that stuff again. It went on really thick. Anyway, it's good to be back into this stuff again after so long.
bbowser Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Can't miss with a big Ford, nice work! I'm shakier and blurrier than I used to be as well, looks great!
Lovefordgalaxie Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 She looks great!! Nice color and also nice wheels. Cragars always go well with Galaxies.
donb Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Nice Galaxie. A favorite! Welcome to the forum and welcome back to the hobby. Looking forward toseeing more of your builds.
nutboltu Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Cheap rattle can paint? Looks terrific. SO what does it matter, eh?
atomicholiday Posted November 22, 2014 Author Posted November 22, 2014 Thanks guys! I can get pretty critical of my own work, and normally when I'm done with a model, I don't feel very inspired by it. Sometimes, once completed, they just look a little fake or toy-like to me. But this one was different. I was pretty pleased with this build.
ChrisR Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Looks great. One of my favorite AMT model kits.
Rob Hall Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) Nice build...I built that kit in the same color combo about 20 years ago...always liked that kit, about the only issues I've had w/ the ones I've built is the rear bumper is fiddy to attach and they sit low in the rear..
