Very nice work indeed Rob. Very meticulous work and a vey nice precision paint job.

Like the gold metallic that is impressive.

Also like your photographic work. Not easy to to take bright shiny subjects.

Thank you all for your kind comments

The car? is a revell 69 Ford Talladega, off ebay it arrived with the roof damaged, the A frame that supports the windscreen snapped and the glass covered in very many scratches and was a case of bin or win!

The colour? when my airbrush arrived I had 2 pots of createx paint pearl plum and pearl pineapple after practicing on everything I could get my hands on from plastic spoons to pot noodle pots I did not have enough left of either to paint the model! so I mixed them together and well 'Iwas not expecting that' LOL gold. (hence the clash with the interior which was already painted but I keep telling myself somewhere there is a cow that colour

As for the detail that is the part I love although I could not do it without these...............!!!!!



This should have been the first one but I ruined the paint job on the body with some runaway glue??? gutted see the bonnet below I was pleased with it, you can see it in the back ground of the pic above back to primer to start again its createx pearl pineapple.
