Belugawrx Posted December 30, 2014 Author Share Posted December 30, 2014 (edited) Ok ...no primer yet but,... I said I would pull out the airbrush and start a learnin' so,... I found a great tip on wide white painting on this site, so thought I would try it out What better car to put wide whites on than a '62 T-bird....right? Fooled around with mixtures,.. Micheal's Craft paint and windex, water, 99% isopropyl ....nope Testors acrylic and 99%,.. 2p paint : 1P iso, ....yep Will let it dry and shoot the whole tire with Tamiya flat... Always an adventure Also built up the cowl with strips of evergreen and some Squadron White putty I really like Squadron's putty ,... if you let it skin up, you can still shape it by patting it around a bit. Thanks for looking in Any Questions, Comments, and/or Criticisms welcome. Model on Cheers Edited December 31, 2014 by Belugawrx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belugawrx Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Did some work on the exhaust Detail Master's glasspacks into some Evergreen rod I tried the DM pencil tips, but they looked too large so.. Back to the tried and true aluminium pipe, angled Then notched the body to keep it all tight Q, C, + C's welcome Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy D Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Hi Bruce, Impressive progress you have made on this one ! The engine compartment is looking good. The exhaust system is a keeper Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belugawrx Posted January 3, 2015 Author Share Posted January 3, 2015 Thank You for checkin' in guys Jdean I hope so Kevin patience is a practise... I will continue to practise....lol Randy........ Not your watchmaker quality, but like I said " it's the only lump of styrene here" and Ben Thanks for the comment that went missing for some reason... This is my first time doing wide white walls and they will look good once the body colour is on....it's a '62 So...anyway, got the exhaust finished up And then saw that there were no brakes so.. Found these in a NASCAR kit,..and with a little finnagling they should work,.. foiled, weathered...etc. Thnx for lookin' in QCC's welcome Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 Great progress Bruce. I like the wide whites and wheels... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belugawrx Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Bit more done,.. Body got primered again, wet sanded, then shot the colour (Duplicolor Indigo blue pearl #CBVW2043) decanted and airbrushed, then a coat of "Future". I let the "future" dry for a day and then wet sanded. I really like the way it blocks out! Masked the body and shot the engine bay with black. Now I will BMF the trim and reshoot "Future" Also got the interior started, I tried to BMF the console and dash ribs, but after wrinkling up two pieces, decided to go with the old stand by, Testor's silver enamel flowed on with a brush. This will be washed with Tamiya smoke, when dry (next week ) Thanks for looking in Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
