Re: 32 ford three window coupe update 1/16

a small update.

a mock up was in order to determine what i needed to do yet.

here is how she looks. body is not attached to the chasis yet. headlight fixtures not attached. (still trying to decide on whether to wire them or not)

now for a bit of fun. following my mood the last six months or so i tried something. using milliput i fashoned a covering for the seat. using some artistic license i wanted to show some wear and tear. i fashoned some patches small and large. when that dried it was time for paint. the instructions call for the interior to be painted dessert sand. so i found some sandgelb rcm 79 and painted the interior pieces.

i also did up the wheels. all told six coats of paint and the hairspray method again. they have not been dusted yet.

well there is where i am right now.

Nice. I really like the rusted and worn effect. Looks very real. Nice touch with the patched seats. (y) (y) (y)

Nice finish Joe! Looks like someone put a lot of effort making a hot rod and then abandoned it. (y)
