October 13, 2022And away we go!2
October 13, 2022Let the modifications begin3
October 13, 2022Enlarged the tip of the starter with a small magnet. Just thought I'd try something new. Not sure if I like it. Will know better once the piece is finished.4
October 15, 2022This is the finished starter. I'm happy with it5
October 15, 2022My own mix of Chevy engine red.6
October 15, 2022The camera makes it look more red than it is...7

October 21, 2022A little repair needed on this piece. Tamiya putty to the rescue.18
October 24, 2022Gap filled with Tamiya putty.19
October 21, 2022I'm usually scared of spiders, but this one is okay.20
October 21, 2022Engine coming along nicely.21
October 21, 202222
October 24, 2022Tyred coated in a light wash of Tamiya rubber black.23
October 21, 2022Kept the kit chrome for the wheels and added a bit of black panel liner.24
October 21, 2022More black panel liner added to the front grill. I may still add more. I find this easier than sanding and painting each hole.25
October 21, 2022These parts don't look too good, so I may have to bleach and rechrome them.26
October 21, 2022Chrome very carefully removed from the steering wheel with a ceramic scraper.27
October 21, 2022Wooden steering wheel base coat done in Tamiya XF-92 Yellow Brown Dak 194128
October 24, 2022Woodgrain added using a grey gundam marker.29
October 21, 2022The body is good, no major issues, just the usual Revell sanding.30
October 21, 2022Uh oh, spoke too soon! Will have to fill this in with some putty.31
October 21, 202232
October 21, 2022I will cut these air vents out.33

October 24, 2022Back to square one with this. A little too much retarder in the clear orange just wiped everything away.43
October 26, 2022Used an acrylic black marker this time roun44
October 26, 2022Much better!45

October 28, 2022Ran out of SMS Jet Black, so mixed some Tamiya X1 Black with Mr Levelling Thinners. Happy with the result.53
October 28, 2022SMS Stainless Steel used for the exhaust header.54
October 28, 2022SMS Hyperchrome Cold on the exhaust.55
October 28, 202256
October 28, 2022The instructions called for the rear shocks to be white, but that's a little boring! Thought I'd be creative and make them pop. This is SMS Crystal Topaz over SMS Yellow. The pearl doesn't really show up in the photo unfortunately.57

November 13, 2022Body primed with Mr Surfacer 1500 Pink. First coat revealed some lumps and bumps so back to sanding and patching.75
November 13, 202276
November 13, 202277
November 13, 2022More coats of Mr Surfacer 1500.78
November 13, 202279
November 13, 2022Then a coat of Chevy engine red. This is my own mix of Tamiya acrylics (red 10 : orange 8 : yellow 3) mixed with Mr Levelling Thinners.80
November 13, 2022Some slight orange peel, but nothing major. Looking forward to wet sanding this one.81
November 20, 2022So, after wet sanding and burning through in a couple of spots, I added a few more coats and let dry. After wet sanding a second time I am left this.82
November 20, 2022Not sure why this happened and unsure where to go from here.83
November 30, 2022Okay... so I resprayed it again this time, adding a few coats of clear on top. Left it a few days and this is how it came out.84
November 30, 2022There was hardly any orange peel so I skipped wet sanding and went straight for the Tamiya compounds.85
November 30, 2022Ready for decals.86
December 27, 2022Decals and 2k down... although the 2k decided to cough up a little on the last coat.87
December 27, 2022This will need some serious sanding.88
December 27, 2022The inside on the bonnet (hood) is done with Mr Surfacer 1500 Black straight from the spray can. This gave me the look I was after so stopped there.89
December 27, 2022Got the bumps out with a tonne of wet sanding. Started with 4000 and worked up to 8000, then onto the Tamiya compounds.90
December 27, 2022The chrome is Molotow done free-hand with some masking91
December 27, 2022Done!92
