1970 Chevy Impala

[brasi]

I haven't built much lately apart from a 75 Dart that I have mucked the paint up on three times. Finally grew tired of failures and put it aside and started this on Saturday.



Interior will look like this. Needs some touch ups though.



And this blurry pic shows the color. There is metalflake on the roof, which cannot be seen in the picture.



Hope you like it. It is pretty much done. All I have to do is clearcoat it, BMF it and then whip it together. All in all it has been a nice quick build that should be done pretty soon.

I better start responding to stuff or folks will think I up an died. Haven't had time for modeling either, lately.
That looks like a nice lively green, Tommie.
Bring it on to a finish.

Thank you, geezerman.

I will try to finish it pretty soon, but I guess it's at least a couple of days of building left on this one.

After my latest post I ruined the paint. No biggey, I thought and then stripped it. I then reshot it with the silver base only to find that all the emblems and trim that I had removed had miraculously returned! It really had a bad case of ghost lines, so I had to strip it again. Then this morning I had the body ready for one more go. The paint didn't come out as nice as it did last time, but now is the time to try to finish it anyway.

I have trouble with floor polish as clear coat as it has cracked on me a few times. This time I didn't have a choice though, since the LHS didn't have any Tamiya clear on the shelf.

I will put a few more layers of floor polish on it tonight or tomorrow.
