HOUSTON Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 The Hooded Claw, All I can say is that I fell head overheels for this ONE... Amazng work,and is coming alond BEAUTIFULLY.. HOUSTON....
The Hooded Claw Posted July 1, 2009 Author Posted July 1, 2009 After a couple of evenings cutting back and polishing I felt it was time to Chrome her up. I added the chrome around the glazings with Alclad II Chrome and use a Model Car Garage etch set for all the badges. To add depth to the badges a light wash with either red or black oils was used. I'm back on the chassis now and hope to have her done for Automodellismo in August. H

The Hooded Claw Posted July 16, 2009 Author Posted July 16, 2009 Managed to get an evening or two free over the week between bouts of show organising. Finally got the interior painted and inplace. The Chassis popped into place not helped initially by my fixing the top front suspension mounts back to front. I've got a couple of bits left to add, notably the rear bumpers and the steering wheel. After that it will get a final dust and put away for the show. Hope you like it. THC
AnonymousDFB1 Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 Very nice THC one of my favourites. My all time preference is for the '75, but your's will do.
Obi-Jiff Kenobi Posted July 17, 2009 Posted July 17, 2009 That's looking fabulous, H. Not my favourite Vette (I prefer the pre-68 cars), but a magnificent model.
The Hooded Claw Posted July 18, 2009 Author Posted July 18, 2009 Ta peeeps. The rear bumper Chrome work is a little bit dodgy so I've had to strip them back again. Should have it finished by the 2nd
Stevieboy Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Looking forward to seeing it in a couple of weeks Ian, If I have room in the van I have yet to hire I'll bring mine along. Steve
