A Christmas Model Contest?
So, another "update" to what ole Hemi has been up to for this build.....:D
Sometimes, with me, you just NEVER know where any one item is going during the build....SO, with that said, I'm about to show some sleigh "trim"....
I thought the gold look trim that is a "piping" look to it, (those of you that have done REAL car restoration know what I mean here) But piping, as such as seat "piping" type trim. I think for the sleigh it turned out the GREATEST look for the model... as planned too! I could NOT have thought of a better way to do it!
This shot, shows some "extra" trim I added....That gold trim that looks like "pipe" it sort of is, its solid brass! I turned it and then polished it, IT will be gloss coated BEFORE its all said and done with for the fact that unprotected it will turn green! :D So, I've got a few tricks for it up my sleeves to keep it nice and shiny!
Notice the 2 "holes" going through the front of the front of the sleigh.....PAY attention to these! They're a "secret" part of the build! As you'll see as I progress!
A bit of a close up for this side (I have to admit) I haven't taken many pictures of this side, and its not cause I have more to do to it or anything, BUT the side that I'm working on or from is normally the side I get my pictures from!
Showing a bit of the "rear" of how it is now, for the sleigh, BUT its possibly going to change just a little bit! BUT that too, is in question, Not sure the planned change, is gonna happen!
Interior shot. Showing a bit more then my past "interior" pics....A bit yet to do in here. as you'll see in upcoming updates on this build!
GOING very well, I'm loving how all is turning out to date, nothing is or has been "questioned" in my own head....I'm pleased with it! As I question EVERYTHING like that I build, thats my "Enemy" sometimes when I'm building!
ENJOY
