Dragonhawk1066 Posted October 22, 2022 Posted October 22, 2022 My version of the AMT 1929 Ford Model A Mod Rod Kit. I did both the stock and custom versions using the parts available in the kit. The only variation was that I used the engine from the AMT 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery kit as it looked less toy-like. The stock version is airbrushed in Apple Barrel Laguna Blue, and the fenders and running boards in Anita's Glossy Black. I used Decoart Duraclear Gloss Varnish for the clear, but the new bottle didn't mix well and I had to save it with a few coats of Createx UVLS 4050 on top of that. I used Apple Barrel Khaki, Honey Brown, and Nutmeg Brown for the interior, and Sunny Day for the wheels. This one was done box stock, and while some of the parts were a bit fiddly it generally went together ok. The custom version is airbrushed in Createx Pearl Plum with Apple Barrel Granite Gray and Elephant Gray for the interior. It's cleared with Createx UVLS 4050 Clear and wet-sanded, polished, and waxed. I did add spark plug wires along with the '40 Ford's spare engine to this one, but everything else is from the box. There is an extra hood and truck bed, and just needs the nose piece to build the Ala Kart. This one was a little trickier for me, and pretty much fought me every step of the way except for the painting process. This kit really shows it's age, but in the end builds a couple of pretty decent cars, and gives you options to build lots of variations of the car. Thanks for looking!! 5
espo Posted October 22, 2022 Posted October 22, 2022 Beautiful finishes on both. I like seeing a stock model A every once in a while.
Dave Darby Posted October 22, 2022 Posted October 22, 2022 Nice job on both. Great color choices, and very clever paint treatment on the Mod Rod gas tank.

happy grumpy Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 Really nice pair, I like both of them, but I lean toward the stock version. That pearl plum looks awesome on the custom though. Great work on the photos too.
