Matt P Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 My latest completion and I must admit I am a bit chuffed with it Revell 1949 Mercury that I was originally going to do a replica of the Badlands film car. However after a coat of black it looked a bit dull, so I re-thought it and decided to do a rust rod. Painted with MIG rust tones/hairspray/grey/varnish/hairspray/green/varnish to get the result. I then had a rush of blood to the head and thought lighting would be a good idea, so got some LED 's from Smallscalelights.co.uk which were great (and the service was excellent). Base and wall are scratchbuilt as is the street lamp (with LED), and the phone booth is a Doozy item from AK in Spain. Probably not immediately obvious, and a bit anal I know, but all the posters, newspapers and licence plate are all from 1972 The year the Badlands film came out. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeroenS Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Great stuff. The setting with the street light in the dark is a very nice touch! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busnproplinerfan Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Just needs a couple of greasers hanging around. The pantina is spot on. Love the phone, exactly how they look in person, grungy, off the hook. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSTON Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 BEAUTIFUL model with OUTSTANDING scratch built... EXEMPLARY vignette with the small touches like the Joan Baez poster etc makes it look quite realistic! AWESOME build indeed and your photography are Top NOTCH. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt P Posted June 27, 2020 Author Share Posted June 27, 2020 Thanks for all your great and much appreciated comments 😊😊. I must admit that after years of building various types of scale models I have found a genre that I find the most satisfying, enjoyable and challenging, so more of these to come I think 😊🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
