Dragonhawk1066 Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 I wasn't initially going to do a WIP thread on this one, but then changed my mind. Here's a condensed version to get thing up to speed. I did the usual parts clean-up, including sanding any flash (virtually none on this one), removing mold lines (again, very little), deepening the panel lines, and washing the parts. This was followed by spraying on the Stynylrez Red/Brown Primer, only because it was the fullest bottle I had, lol. Then the parts were painted Tamiya Titanium Silver for the body and Folkart Blue Sapphire for the interior pieces. After a couple of days to dry, I very carefully applied the Lazy Modeller flame masks, although I somehow got the fenders mixed up and applied one of them just a little too far forward. Unfortunately I did not take pics of the process of applying the masks, but there is a great video on Youtube showing the process from the maker of the masks. After taping off the rest of the car, I airbrushed on the flame colors. I used Createx Pearl Blue for most of the flames with Delta Ceramcoat Navy Metallic on the flame tips. The color difference is very subtle, moreso than I would have liked, but it is there and after careful unmasking I am extremely happy with the results. I will spray the Createx High Gloss Clear on in the next few days, and also continue with the rest of the build. 11
Rattlecan Dan Posted June 17, 2024 Posted June 17, 2024 Wow! I mean what else can you say? That's an incredible collection of extraordinary builds. Each one a true collector's piece. And your current project will find a place in the lineup as well, I'm sure. 1
TransAmMike Posted June 18, 2024 Posted June 18, 2024 Oh yeah, great job on the flames and the titanium paint Craig. 1
Tim W. SoCal Posted June 18, 2024 Posted June 18, 2024 Bitchen color combination and flame job. The titanium and blue interior is especially tasty. Can't wait to see your Deuce Coupe completed! 1
Flatout Posted June 18, 2024 Posted June 18, 2024 Looks really good Craig…love the color combo. The Revell 32 Fords are some of the most versatile kits ever made…no matter how many you’ve seen built, there are still ways to make them unique.? 1

If you go through the Lazy Modeller eBay store, they ship from Australia, but Iceman Collections carries about 11 different kinds and he ships from the U.S. 2
Dragonhawk1066 Posted June 21, 2024 Author Posted June 21, 2024 I painted and cleared the Iceman Collections BF Goodrich Radial T/A's, and got the kit wheels painted and detailed. I also finished the interior and the suspension, so it's now a rolling chassis. I also masked and painted/cleared the soft top portion of the roof. 9
espo Posted June 22, 2024 Posted June 22, 2024 Like the clean detailing of the interior and chassis. 1 1
Dragonhawk1066 Posted June 24, 2024 Author Posted June 24, 2024 I wet-sanded the body with 6000, 8000, and 12000 grit polishing pads and followed that with some Novus #2 polish. After that was a coat of Meguiar's Cleaner Wax. I'm really liking how this one looks and should have it finished up in a day or two. 5
Justin Porter Posted June 25, 2024 Posted June 25, 2024 Super clean '32 coupe! The flames really do set it off well. 1
Zippi Posted June 25, 2024 Posted June 25, 2024 Looking mighty spiffy there Craig. Great looking little Hot Rod so far man. 1
Mr. Metallic Posted October 16, 2024 Posted October 16, 2024 Great color combo and execution of the flames.
Phildaupho Posted October 18, 2024 Posted October 18, 2024 Great to see how well the Lazy Modeller flames turned out on your Deuce as I am going to use the same masks on my next Deuce project.
