TopherMcGinnis Posted September 7, 2024 Share Posted September 7, 2024 While I was out of town recently I picked up this kit to work on in the hotel. Not doing anything real crazy, but I do want to use the Lazy Modeler flame mask to flame it. Any pointers? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopherMcGinnis Posted September 7, 2024 Author Share Posted September 7, 2024 I've got to say, if you haven't tried Turbo Dork paints-DO IT! The Lazy Modeler masks are amazing. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David G. Posted September 8, 2024 Share Posted September 8, 2024 I'll have to look into those masks, the seem to work really well. It looks like the paint laid down quite nicely too. You have a great start on a cool looking roadster. David G. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’ll need to drill out the axle ends to accept the metal pins and gluing the wheels on the Buick drums requires patience while letting the car rest on its side until the glue sets. Other than that great work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopherMcGinnis Posted September 9, 2024 Author Share Posted September 9, 2024 Since this whimsical build/trial flame job has happened so quickly, I didn't think the color/combination all the way through. I can't think of which color to paint the interior ? Any suggestions? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpikeSchumacher Posted September 9, 2024 Share Posted September 9, 2024 You could do anything from black, to grey, to teal, to purple, or any combination thereof... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would move it forward into the current 20’s builds 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moparman18064 Posted September 9, 2024 Share Posted September 9, 2024 I love it. Being that it is black, you could go with almost any color, except maybe, yellow. That would clash too much IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that will look right with the flames. I'm going to play with gray and turquoise this evening ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
