tornado64 Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 well here's my contribution it is more than likeley not going to be built as the box shows as that is the idea of a rod or custom car ..to be difrent to others the kit gives multitudes of building varietys but as usual is amt's usual mould quality s***e !! but workable will end up as a custom paint job but unsure as to what yet flames but difrent to decals ?? or something difrent don't know yet but should build nice whatever it is planning on using a purple theme ..
tornado64 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 made a start ditched the idea of the kit build and adding my own ideas as the kit gives plenty of scope .. and also plenty of spares for a start on a customising box for future builds gone with the purple theme as i have a couple of tins of custom car colours left from working on the real thing ( awaiting spring to finnish my sisters car bonnet mural ) also sussed out how to make my own decals so can do mural decals for the paint job unsure what theme but may take photo's to convert to mural decals ...
tornado64 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 (edited) main body parts now filled and had first colour applied custom car metal flake blue ( even though it is purple ) will be doing multi coloured fade in paintwork with murals and then laquer it possibly try clear or humbrol gloss to seal in the finnished article..

CornishRebel Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Nice... Is it as bad as the Revell Ford Coupe? I gave up and gave it away in the end! Nothing wrong with purple, by the way... As you can see...I like purple. All the best, Phil
tornado64 Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 nine coats of colour later nightmare for a dark colour because it is mostly thin coloured laquer to cary the custom paint flakes and also so you can see the flakes reflecting blue over purple should be cool once muraled and laquered..
tornado64 Posted January 10, 2009 Author Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) nearly ready to bring together after last bits of touch ups Edited January 10, 2009 by tornado64
tornado64 Posted January 11, 2009 Author Posted January 11, 2009 just noticed i have put the ht leads on the wrong side of cylinder head , a mistake that wouldn't have been as bad if i hadn't owned and spannered v engined cars .. bol****s , well it's stopping like that now . next step is fading in the next stage of painting and fitting the cherry bomb exausts may plan murals this week then send for decal paper and flaps and slats for the tornado group build
tornado64 Posted January 12, 2009 Author Posted January 12, 2009 finishing touches of the build to finnish and also the painting finnishing touches but it is nearly done think i will design murals and lettering tonight
tornado64 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) changed my idea for mural work . saw some stickers that will be usefull for masks and as is to make the murals , looks like a medieval theme !! see how it goes !! Edited January 21, 2009 by tornado64
tornado64 Posted January 21, 2009 Author Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) completed bar very small touch ups .. murals were done by airbrushing white , then masking with moon star shapes , then airbrushed black , stars taken off , then airbrushed faded white stickers applied then gloss varnished to seal and shine ..
