Chopped & Channelled Revell 32 Ford Sedan

[Andy Jones]

After a 6 month layoff I've rediscovered my modelling mojo and made a start on something !.
Going to be similar in style to the 32 3 window from last year & as you can see it's just mocked up withtape holding everything together at the moment to get some idea of how it will look -sorry for the poor night time pic.

So far I've chopped the top, Z'd the frame front & rear & cut down the interior panels accordingly.
The 37 grille, stock firewall & tyres are all from Replicas & Minatures and the steelies are resin ones of unknown origin from the spares box. Haven't made a final choice on colour as yet as still a long way to go but thought about flat black with red steelies & grille insert - I know it's an overused combination but think it would work.

Thanks for looking.

Go for it!!!

Thanks for the comments guys - I've given it a quick coat of primer and mocked up the engine - it's the kit supplied flathead with the heads, carb intake & air cleaner from the Replicas & Minatures Eddie Mayer hop up kit. The pulleys & generator are also from R&M.


Still lots to do but I'll post more progress as I make it.

That is just fantastic. I still cant bring myself to chopping a top. I havent found a walk through that covers it well. (maybe I havent look hard enough either)

Just a couple of pics of the partially completed flathead :


Thanks for looking

That looks great Andy, those Eddie Meyer parts look nice, I like the paint in the fins on the heads, how'd you do that..just a simple wash?

Thanks Gray - it's just a wash of humbrol enamel between the fins and any excess taken off the raised areas with a cloth

Cheers
