In all its glory...the Sword stands in Boyd Orange Pearl, Tamiya. Metallic Blue, Gun Metal., Metallic Silver, Gold......I had some issues with the Boyd paint...I have never used enamel of this nature...I do like how it went on and how the clean up was real easy....I had a bunch of dead time while doing this kit, with vacations and stuff...so it was a real different flow to the building and painting process...I finished up and I am quite happy with the results
I really think this is a great kit, it was fun to build, the articulation is great, and all the extra goodies make it a real fun challenge....a great 1st MG kit as well
Now this 63 Vette has been a real pain in the butt...It was made in 1988 and the molds were off just a little, meaning huge seam lines, and parts that just don't fit as well as I wanted...and not having a bunch of experience with cars,,...I am learning to work with it...it is very challenging and frustrating...but I think will pay off when I build a newer car that has a better mold...above is the final mock up before painting...below, left and right the interior...the seats were molded in,(UGH) and right I tried to dry brush the panel details...didn't work as I had hoped, bottom center is interior set on frame...unfortunately...it is off...by a lot, and sits a bit funny...I don't know if I should trim off a bunch, or just deal....I have almost 2 months in this, and I am close to destroying it....LOL
Below...2 shots of Liam's 07 Mustang.....the engine has been painted platinum(not in pic) and the car is flat blue....it has since been gloss coated with future floor wax....more photos to come on this in the future
