I have discovered that Testors doesn't make a Bronze colored enamel paint anymore.
I need it.![]()
Things escalate quickly.
CanoScrew double posting. This has been done for a while but only now did I take pics. It started off with this 1934 Ford 3-window coupe that came out like in 2009, with very very good flames tampos. So it received the same treatment as the 32 Ford and Dodge Van I previously posted.
First came a deep coat of clear over the body to make the matte black shine. The fenders received their share too, so everything would shine the same. The running boards are part of the interior piece and remained in their natural plastic finish.
Next came masking off the grille as good as I could (it is really, REALLY tiny) in order to paint the grille shell and headlamp buckets black. The dash also received black.
While all of the above dried, the chassis was modified to accept the new wheels. I used the Dremel to trim away some metal -easier said than done- and plastic strips were used to lower the car a bit.
Last step was fabricating some glass, as the yellow windows didn't suit the street rod look of the car. A Coke bottle was again used.
With the new shoes it looks like dis:
The black grille shell and detailed headlamps. Came out pretty decent considering that masking such a small areas was a pain in the rear.
Taillights touched up:
Co-molded 5s are some fo the most hot roddish wheels HW has released, even though they are not rubber-tired.
And that's it. It has more work than it seems, but it made the look of the car.
Got that same car, metal chassis, etc. only mine has rubber tires
I did. With a little roll of really good Tamiya masking tape that cost me almost $7! You're always going to have paint bleed though.
