discussion And now for something completely different.........

That paint job is awesome!

Is that just a thin coat of red over a coat of gold?

Surely it can't be that simple.

Looking forward to seeing the completed model now!

Tony thanks ,yea 'bitch'n' is the correct lingo ! No whitewalls on this one but do have some 'baby moons' to put on it. Hope you pull the trigger on a car build would really dig seeing what you would do with it.

Drew thanks a bunch and yep it really is that simple! The trick is getting even coverage without tiger striping it.

Vaughan appreciate that, yea I gotta change subjects from time to time so I do'nt get burned out!

I did get some progress done in spite of having to work ! The dash I kept simple and used some Formula 500 Canopy glue for the gauge lens

I scratched a Hood scoop

Finished the hub caps with MM metalizer stainless then buffed it a bit for a dull beach worn shine

Wrapped up the interior with some dry brushing over the 'wood' grain to give it a little depth

Then a series of dry brushing and pastels to weather the running gear

Looking good Trey love the chassis weathering.

Thanks Tony, glad to hear you'll be doing a 'cage' soon! Frenched the front turn signals and getting the wood grain decals on

 

[Vaughan]

Hi Trey the wooden panels look very realistic and the metallic paint works well. How's that long board coming along?
