great job drnitrus...the front end looks goooood. i'm currently attempting at mine...and it looks like crap so far, hopefully i'll smooth it all out.

Thanks guys. I dont think I would attempt to make a replica of the front end but if some of the replica pros are interested maybe we can work something out.

First coat of paint is on. The roof looks kinda shittie. You can see where I filled in the sunroof. Im gonna see of there is anyway I can hide that as I go along. Beside that so far so good. As you can see it wont be ready by tomorrow for the contest. Put me down as a DNF.

that looks crazy, how did u do the back half?

drnitrus · #**104** 02-22-2006, 11:46 AM

I used masking tape, then just airbrush lightly close to the edge of the tape. This way you just get some overspray on the silver surface. Peel the tape and it gives you a crisp line. Then i took a pice of ignition wire and dipped it in paint to dot the rivets on.
