TheRX7Project Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Having not completed a model in over a year, I decided I'd go through my stash and build something simple but fun. AMT Olds 442 kit built as a "Day 2" car, completely OOB except air cleaner and scratchbuilt exhaust using the kit's mufflers. I'm a little unhappy with the stance (seems a little nose-up) but not unhappy enough to pull it apart and although I put in a lot of sanding to make them go away, the mold lines on the B-pillar are still somewhat noticeable. This was my first time using embossing powder for carpet and I love it. Also my first time using BMF to this extent- there's a lot of trim on this car- and although it's not perfect, I'm quite happy with how it came out. Comments and constructive criticism welcome.
Nacho Z Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I like it, James. It is nice to get one finished and on the shelf.
slusher Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Super nice model. Vey clean and well done..
charlie8575 Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Very subtle and tasteful, like an Olds should be. Charlie Larkin
christian-w Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Nice color and clean built. The only thing I'm missing is the chrome trim around the windows and wheel house Maybe next time?

TheRX7Project Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 Nice color and clean built. The only thing I'm missing is the chrome trim around the windows and wheel house Maybe next time? Actually the window trim is there- the color just makes it hard to see. Really sucks too because it's my first time doing so much foiling and I didn't do too bad! Thanks for the compliments guys!
MsDano85gt Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Dr. olds would be proud the pesky hoods on those kits never sit right......

Mike 1017 Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Luv the color. Nice BMF job. Practice, practice. I am still working to improve my BMF skills
