Kit is mostly from the box but with a dropped front axle from an AMT '27 Phaeton and modified wheels from the AMT '55 Nomad. Paint is Tamiya pearl yellow with a touch of pearl green and pearl white spray right over the bare plastic.

The doctor said I had to share the visions when I have them ,, then the healing can start.

Thanks for sharing Steve. And congrats on your MoM win!

I've commented on this elsewhere, but didn't realize the wheels were from the 55 Nomad. I love those wheels, but haven't found the right porject for them yet. They look stunning on this, and I love your choice of the off white roof.

Thanks Pete.
Actually, the wood's not hand painted.
I sprayed it with several coats of craft paint in tan and brown , alternating the colors. Then wet sanded it so the grain molded into the parts would show being careful not to sand down to the bare plastic..

The doctor said I had to share the visions when I have them ,, then the healing can start.

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!

rickcaps55: Thanks Ed i have had this one for a long time got it as a kit that was stared but never got to it i have to say it was on the shelf for the last 15 years i guess it's time to get it going.!!! Jan 22, 2024 14:53:00 GMT -5
