Craig Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 I haven't posted in a long time, so I'm trying to get back into posting after some turbulent health issues. So, here's my first build of 2020, the AMT 65 Pontiac Grand Prix. Very enjoyable build, with only minor issues. Built box stock.
Michael Bloes Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 Fantastic. Is this the original kit with the box art with no words and the yellow custom car shown?
'70 Grande Posted February 4, 2020 Posted February 4, 2020 ...or is it the version that came molded in that Turquoise-colored styrene? I'm curious what you did to make those headlights appear so good; is it paintwork or clear plastic headlight lenses that you added to make them appear so realistic?

It's molded in white, and the headlights were chrome, so painted the headlights with white acrylic paint and used a q-tip to wipe off the paint from the raised bits. I've never tried that before, it worked out really well!
