RestoModGuy Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 (edited) Just a quick build that wasn't going to be as I was given this AMT kit and thought I would never build it. I used the body as a Paint test to try out some variations. After polishing it I thought maybe one day I'll finish it. It sat on the bench for several months then I received the Molotow Chrome pens and decided to use it to test the pens. In 5-minutes I had all the chrome trim done and decided I might as well finish it. No BMF on this one. Still will use BMF for trim on big builds, but for these quickie builds the chrome pen is just fine. This is not a very well detailed kit so I decided to "curbside" build it as a showcase piece. It turned out okay I suppose for a a build I never intended to ever build. Paint is Duplicolor Torreador Red Metallic with Duplicolor Effects pearl clear. Bottom is Universal black. It's hard to see how nice this paint looks from a photo-light-box, but I will say it's gorgous in sunlight. Edited February 20, 2017 by RestoModGuy
cobraman Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 Looks much better than OK. It is one sharp T-Bird.
modelcarcrazy Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 That looks finer than a frog hair with the fuzz blowed back!!
donb Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 I always liked this body style. Wish these could be found and real 1:1 cars built. Could use this build as the "model" for a real one. Nicely done.
larry ray Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 Where you getting the Molotow Chrome pen Thanks larry
avidinha Posted February 21, 2017 Posted February 21, 2017 That's really nice. The wheels and stance are perfect.
cobramike Posted February 22, 2017 Posted February 22, 2017 You can snag the Molotow pens at Amazon. The 4 mm pen is a bit to large, 2 mm better.
espo Posted February 23, 2017 Posted February 23, 2017 Very nice looking build. The stance and wheels really make this look like something you would love to have in the driveway.
Lunajammer Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Me likey.Not a lot of love for the big 'birds but I think that's because of the name. Call it anything else and there'd be more warmth. I've always liked these and yours is no different. Two tone is a good idea.
D. Battista Posted February 24, 2017 Posted February 24, 2017 Like the mild custom look...! Nice job...!
RestoModGuy Posted February 24, 2017 Author Posted February 24, 2017 Wow, thanks all for the nice comments, I honestly did not expect on this one, appreciate the feedback
PowerPlant Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 Nice color combo... Not normally a car I would be interested in, but you make it very appealing
Jon Cole Posted February 25, 2017 Posted February 25, 2017 That looks so fine! Big, long, and low! The wheels look right on a car like this.
