cjhm Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Just finished this build of early 70s kit from Revell, recently reissued as a 'Ed Roth' boxing. Inspiration was recent DVD viewing of American Graffiti. Main paint is custom mix of Tamiya Acrylic White with a bit of blue and green added. Aiming for a 50s pastel look, this was airbrushed on using 0.4 tip in Harder and Steenbeck Ultra. Turquoise is a Games Workshop colour. When body was dry is was smoothed with Micro Mesh 4000, 6000, 8000 and 12000 cloths. It looks a bit scrappy, opening doors and hood\trunk are good features but alignment leaves a lot to be desired. Chrome trim is by Molotow pen, great addition to the modellers armoury but I made a bit of hash of trying to pick out some of trim so it looks a bit rough Hope you enjoy Work in Progress pictures here: https://twitter.com/search?q=%23Revell%20%2357Chevy%20cjhm&src=typd Lots more pictures here: http://blog.cjhm.net/125-revell-1957-chevy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill.B Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Having built a couple of really old kits I can fully empathise about the difficulties of assembling poor fitting parts made of rubbish quality plastic. Under the circumstances I think you’ve made great effort. Well done! 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
