Helix Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 G' Day folks, First one for 2015. Revell 'Good Guys' street rod kit, decided to have some fun with this and turn it into a sleeper of sorts! I used the intake out of a Sprintcar kit which is a good match in my opinion and certainly looks like it was made for that engine bay. The 'nostalgic' resin wheels are from 'The Parts Box' Base coat is Tamiya TS-29 Semi Gloss Black followed by 4 coats of Tamiya TS-14 Gloss Black. The interior and wheels were painted with Tamiya TS-7 Racing White. Once again I used the Tamiya polish, starting with the coarse then onto the finish and with summer here 'Downunder' it makes painting / polishing real easy and sometimes you can lay down a smooth paint job in the nice warm weather..... Cheers Ray
Belugawrx Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Great colour combo... Black paint came out Nice ! Are those box stock interior panels ? Like 'em Very nice work on that Cheers Send some of that weather over/up here would ya
Cool Hand Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Very nice mate, some cool ideas you put into this build. Top job on the paint. I know its a got a modern'ish engine but I could imagine some old school gangsters or moonshiners driving this. Edited January 19, 2015 by Cool Hand

10thumbs Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Hi Ray....no, no not Hi-Way, Hello Ray! What a paint job! Beautiful black and smooth as smooth can be! Excellent, my compliments on a job well done. Also, could you please give some insight on what kind, or how you prepared the lighting for your photo session? I need help with letting dark colors show properly on models. You did very well. Thanks, michael

I use a good quality camera (Sony Cyber shot 16mp) Use some A3 size paper as your back drop And some good quality lamps with 100 watt globes For these pics I turned the flash 'off' and just used the light from the lamps..... Taking pictures has always been a challenge for me trying to get the right angle etc, but I'm still learning as I go Here's my cheap and nasty booth !
