1964 Mustang Convertible

Post by Ceaser_Sa1ad »

Hi all,
Finished this one up last night. Repainting took a toll, the hood is a couple shades darker than the rest of the body, and there is a little cracking around the front edge on the driver side. Overall, I am happy with the outcome. The added brake lines and engine wiring adds a little interest, if not crude.
I used ak metals xtreme metallic blue on top of AK filler primer with an automotive spray clear coat (which oddly was the cheapest spray clear in canadian tire...) Polished out it looks quite nice, so this is going to be my go to clear for cars now. I want to do another convertible in the purple AK metal that I have. I want to keep adding detail and getting better at adding realism to my models, so any feedback is helpful.

The liner I made from some felt, as well as the carpet on the floor. Seat belts and buckles are made from wire and layer of masking tape.

Very nicely done! Looks just like one that my next door neighbor had back in high school!

If you can't fix it with duct tape, you're not using enough duct tape.
