Shafers model car thread

-
here are some steps i have already taken,
they model will look like the real car pix except keystone classics will be on it as requested
resin has a very oily residue that can ruin paint so it is required to give it a soapy bath, primer is also a requirement

then i removed an unwanted molding on the c piller upper

this is the closest match i cold find based off pix

That Valiant is looking good! Here is another rotter. It is a 67 GTX by Revell that had a badly warped body.

^^^ that's really cool dge467, i feel sheltered never seen models done that way
 
Yeah that's looking good, Shafer man you're fast! I'm glad it's turning out on the lighter side, that way it still looks right if it's not in direct light. So far so good... :thumbup:

Shafer, I got to looking and found that I bought that kit in August 2005, been waiting a long time to get her done! Did some searching on the interweb, found it was made by drag city casting but they don't make them anymore. Here is that: http://www.rocketfin.com/resin_product.cfm?id=4928

Would you put a dab of silver paint on the fender here, where it says Signet?
 
Sorry for the delay. Here it is, but the blue on this is a bit dark, if you could lighten it up... thanks!
 
just ordered a 66 barracuda model gonna build it pretty soon then ill post up pics of the progress
