1 bad55 stan Posted March 30, 2015 Author Posted March 30, 2015 It's great to see that you're back on the bench again, Stan! This is an interesting project and it's always nice to see something different being built. I've watched these resin kits on Parts Box's webpage, but never ordered them. Maybe some day I will. Keep this coming. they make some good stuff,this wasn't the best casting though.
1 bad55 stan Posted April 13, 2015 Author Posted April 13, 2015 Body nearly ready for paint,filled in all the pin holes and re scribed the doors lines etc,i opened up the grille and cut out the hood.The chassis is painted dark gunmetal..I still don't have a color for the body..comments welcome more soon.
1 bad55 stan Posted April 13, 2015 Author Posted April 13, 2015 This really looks great.. I want one!!!! The Parts Box in Aussie sell them Joseph.

freakshow12 Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Sweet. Why do I see a nice burgandy/ maroon on this with some nice Chrome work. And I'm not even a maroon guy!
1 bad55 stan Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 Sweet. Why do I see a nice burgandy/ maroon on this with some nice Chrome work. And I'm not even a maroon guy! sorry dude no burgundy but this nice deep metallic blue
1 bad55 stan Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 Well guys here is the color i choose,ts-53.I wet sanded it with 600 grit wet n dry and gave it 4 wet coats,still need to clear it. thanks for looking.
freakshow12 Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 That will do just fine! As I said, I'm in no way a burgandy guy but I think it would have fit too. I'm going to have to get some of the blue you used. It's brilliant! Love it
1 bad55 stan Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 Looks sweet Stan! Thanks Jason,the weather here is getting cold so i'll be on the bench a bit more...

DeeCee Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Now that looks AWESOME Stan, it would top off nicely if you added some of the GTS bonnet and boot stripes in a white or silver....maybe??... (That's hood and trunk to our American friends. ).. Beautiful paint job mate.

(That's hood and trunk to our American friends. ).. Beautiful paint job mate. Its starting to look good now that i gave it some clear mate,i got the stripes in black but they don't suit it.silver would look good but i have tried masking stripes with bad results,thanks for your input though.
