Finally! The contest is now over(I didn't place at all). I did however have a lot of fun building this model for the contest.
As was mentioned this car is based of the White Zombie recording of Black Sunshine with narration by Iggy Pop. It is done as I would think Rob Zombie himself would have done if a video for this was made.
My interpretation:

The Lyrics:
(Gripping the wheel, his knuckles
went white with desire! The wheels
of his Mustang exploding on the
highway like a slug from a .45.
True death: 400 horsepower of
maximum performance piercing the
night... This is black sunshine.) Yeah! Move me in the
silence baltic motorway hang me on the edge before I
fall away - Apocalypse is dawnin' action on the mile. A
"can-do" revolution - Earth to the river [nile] Sweet'n
the ride - Black Sunshine - Sweet'n the ride - Yeah - Sweet'n
the ride - Black Sunshine - Sweet'n the ride - Yeah! Cry a
river "cosmic" - Moon in Scorpio, feel her body "breathe" -
Acid radio - Tell me that you like it - when I'm going
down! Tell me that you like it - Move to the speed of
[sound] Sweet'n the ride - Black Sunshine - Sweet'n the ride
- Yeah - Sweet'n the ride - Black Sunshine - Sweet'n the ride
- Yeah! Go! Slide into - I said "44" cool heart can - A
hypnotize dream into infinity - I turned the love to lies
- crawl across the water - wave and sink into the sea -
Reflect'n onto everything - that you can never be
"Check-out" Yeah! To the devil a daughter comes 2000
worlds away Yeah Born to lose the love you choose -
Destroy another day - check out!! Sweet'n the ride Black
Sunshine - Sweet'n the ride Yeah! Sweet'n the ride Black
Sunshine - Sweet'n the ride - Stare into the T.V. kiss off
the pain! Wonderland is falling - no sing - no rain
Momentary - damage into the high drift me to the
circuit sky (Finally nothing moves. High noon - Blacktop
rolling below the asphalt drive - A concrete fascination
scraping the edge of nothing - This is blacksunshine.)
The kit
I used Revell-Monograms Super Stallion kit. Built it box stock(yep, even the incorrect engine). I painted the body with Model master flat black, 4 coats, final two coats were wet sanded to give it that soft look.
Black chrome bmf foil went underneath the hood. The windows, headlights and tailights were painted using Tamiya clear red acrylic.The driving lights(sunshine) were painted Tamiya clear yellow acrylic. The exhaust was painted with Model Master stainless steel metalizer. The chassis was painted flat black and I added a pearl clear over for effect was all. The kit wheels centers were painted Model Master black chrome. This was a fun and very easy kit to build. It didn't take long after I had planned everything out and knew exactly what I wanted to do.
Thanks for lasting through this!!!
Chris

Damn :eek7: Very c:smokin::smokin:l I like the paintjob and the tinting, thumbs up! :thumbsup:

hey thats the super stallion kit! it looks cool, def. badass i think any metal head would approve!

Awesome!
That misses flowers a little (lol!), but it's truly wonderfull!
"Who's bad?"

lol!

cool. I soo want to do mine like that, probably will, just flat black paint, and everything else, more modernish. Thanks for showing, definetly a cool car.

Flat black.....pimpin' on cars for 70 years! Awesome.

Something else I wanted to ask....what gritt paper did you use on your final coats of paint for the soft look?

I believe I used 3M automotive grade 2000 grit. Warm water and a drop of dishsoap as well.
Chris

cool. I'll have to give that a shot sometime soon.

Very unique, i like it!

Oh man! That's dark. It says 'fear'. It is evil.

Rates as one of the best builds I've ever seen on AF.

I love it! Keep up the great work.

Very different...but i'm loving it !!!

That looks awsome! Though I've always envisioned the car being an older model, 67-70 with a huge gas guzzlin big block. Nice job.

:biggrin:

Looks good.

LOL, exactly what my wife said! So, I'll be building an older version of the car with the same theme.
Kind of a "what's your pleasure".
Thanks for the great comments guys. I really had a great time building this kit!
Chris

I love the flat black paint

that looks menacing as hell! I love it.

JeFF

Looks kick ass!

Very different...but i'm loving it !!!
oui!!

Awesome! that song has been my favourite White Zombie/Rob Zombie track for such a long time...

I was hoping to build a '69 stang on a similar theme, dammit you've beat me :D

I might do the firebird from Monster Magnet's "Space Lord (Intergalactic 7 remix)" video instead... Or back on the white zombie theme, someone could do a Thunderkiss 65 '65 T-bird....

I love it!!! is that a real song or did you write it?

I love it!!! is that a real song or did you write it?
That is a Rob Zombie song. I've never heard it before.
The mustang looks menacing, almost scary. Good job.

I love it!!! is that a real song or did you write it?
yeah, what Spoonman Dos said.
Thanks everyone for the compliments. I really appreciate them
Chris

That's a TOUGH looking Mustang.
Can't wait to see your next one !
