 Some small updates... Cab now has additional detail: door sills and bracing, and some other interior bracing. There are some new cast resin tires and inserts (the old ones, will add the new, wider inserts soon) painted satin black and ready to go.  I've built a tractor-style grille out of an inverted '29 Revell track nose, cut down with the grille opening widened and scratchbuilt grille added. I don't like...

nice one zombie  

Here is a few shots of the interior and look at the newly painted body on the frame. As you can see, I went with flat black. This is different for me as i always do the shiny showroom type finishes. This was cake compared to all that buffing and polishing!

cycolac yes your right I had the box version minus the figure but came with a certificate of authenticity only 10,000 made.  Poncho glad to hear it post some pics when your done, I used citadel warcraft paint acrylic based.

well the body has been covered in clear, and the main body has been polished. i did have a slight mishap with the fenders, i cut too far back and went through to the plastic. it was only a small spot but it was noticeable so i had to recover the fenders with a base and top coat, will re lacquer it in the next couple of days. i applied bare metal for the trim and decided to keep the grill in body colour. here a few shots of the car outside and...

It's like deja vu for me.  At work today, I was planning out what to do with my leftovers from the same Revell '29 pickup kit and came up with a very similar scenario.  I even ordered the Sophisticated Finishes rust surfacing kit and some plastruct rails for the frame during my lunch...

copcarbuilder: Those mags look old school, paint the centres blacks and the rims chrome you will have the old style Cragars which would look period correct for a Lincoln of that era. Personally I like the 61-68 Lincolns but I cringe when people customize these classics. Call me old school but this is one car the designers got right the first time and any customizing is heresy. I built several of these cars and I love them, the only...

phil: I am woking on much the same. What are you using for a frame. I have the "new" revell mono version. ! have a 48 ford frame that fits and it has a much better flathead. The "new" kit has 60's moulded floor pan with exhausts. Block is 60's tech,kind of a blob representation with moulded in exhaust maniflods. Since revell has access to better parts (41 ford woody,48 ford woody and ragtop) I...
