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.

windows masked sprayed and inked

while waiting for some paint to dry I scratched up a longboard

Widows and interior in so all the sub assemblies finally come together!

That engine looks great trey, nice work on the frenched headlights too, neat touch! Im definitely going to look out for a car kit when i go to cosford this year, your build has inspired me to do a kustom! cheers tony

 

[treyzx10r]

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?
