PatW Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Built box stock. Having got fed up spraying the light colour then masking up to spray a darker one and the Tamiya masking tape tearing the lighter colour off, I threw every colour I could find to cover the body! 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted April 28, 2022 Share Posted April 28, 2022 Groovy, Man! I like the colour effect. The yellow wheels make a nice change too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOUSTON Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 Pat, GORGEOUS build. One is taken back to childhood when you saw the "hipsters" driving these around. Your painting is FLAWLESS. Great job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted April 29, 2022 Author Share Posted April 29, 2022 Thanks HOUSTON. Well as a teenager in the 1960's we saw everything and anything so anything goes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desert falcon Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Very nice 👍 A brush painted white peace sign on the side would fit perfectly ☮️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Thanks desert falcon. AH hands too shaky for freehand signage although I'd love to! I looked for a decal in my stash but not found. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vesa Jussila Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Really different! I like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted April 30, 2022 Author Share Posted April 30, 2022 Well thanks Vesa. I had a nightmare with spray coating, masking a second darker coat, waiting each day for the paint to dry properly, peeling off the masking tape that took off all the paint underneath it! I sorted out a number of acrylic and enamel spay cans and sprayed all at once not thinking how it would come out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anteater Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I like it! I had half a thought to do a camper van in the same vein but you've beaten me to it 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kapam Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Fantastic build! The custom paint job really sets it off! Would be right at home on one of those car restoration/customizing TV shows. Love it! 👏👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatW Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 Thanks kapam. I don't know about TV programmes, we don't see any custom style shows here in the UK. There's only Wheeler Dealers and Car SOS British programmes and they just do up road cars to their standard spec. There are a lot of USA custom car programmes but all V8 cars we don't have here in the UK especially as fuel here is around £1.70 per litre or £6.80 per gallon for petrol and £7.20 a gallon for Diesel!
