Art & Inspiration Model Car Sunday for Oct. 28th

I useed Testers one coat lacquer and allclad clear over the decals.that was the first time I used the testers sprayed it with my air brush.

 

I was thinking maybe a yellow?

The headers are made from 3/32 solder. I like the look of your beledere!

 

I noticed you have a H.A.M.B. licence plate on the back of this one.... Cool!...

 

Yep- this one was built for one of our Model Builder Group Build-Offs a while back.

 

I have a few cans of that stuff... Star Spangled Blue, Ice Blue, Mystic Emerald, Lime Ice, Purple-Licious, Da Ja Blue.. and a can of clear... I'll probably de-can some in a air-brush bottle and shoot it with my testors air-brush...
I also have a few cans of Inca Gold... Nice stuff!!...

 

I bet Ryan loves it...
Cool!...

 

Great show guys!

46Stude, this looks great!

And the Caddy

 

buddies of mine working hard on my latest project!

 

Thanks guys on the weathered cars. I can work on putting something together on it. I know you can go on You Tube and see some that other people have done. Type in weathered model cars. I just changed a few things that they did and made it better.

 

still working on it lot of work done today

 

all hand made

 

Hey Drew, had foot surgery, did'nt make Goodguys Charlotte. My cousin took a bunch of pictures for me and 2 of them were you and your wife cruising by in the roadster. Looks like they had some nice Gassers, but couple of people I talked to said car count was down. Jacky.

 

Dukes took a wrong turn..........







Best ever plastic/metal look I have seen.EVER Care to share your technique please

I could put something together. I can just write it out and post on here. You can also look up "Weather5ed Models" on You Tube and get an idea of it that way. The scratches I put in with either the edge of a concrete sidewalk or my E-Acto blade.
I'll work on something else when I get my camera back....

 

how did you, or what did you use to personalize the license plate? I want to do this on my next build.
Thanks

 

No trick to it, really. I used this website:
http://www.acme.com/licensemaker/

to design the plate, and saved the pic that came up to my computer, then scaled it down & printed it out with my printer.

 

Thank you, that is a great resource.

 

cool thread

 

yeah, but larger. the beetle's a 1:32. it was already lowered and stuff. i just painted it and added tires, i have a stude that i want to do, completely stock. it couldn't be that hard, could it?

i have a vw bus i did, and a 59 caddi that looks just like watson's cadillac, i'll post them next week.
