Finally!!! `37 Ford Boyd Coupster

Well, after almost a year, I finally finished something!! I really missed being involved here, so it is nice to be back.
First I should apologize for the quality of the pics. I just moved in here, and I have to figure out the best place to take pictures. I may post more later on. I tried to adjust the color in Paint Shop Pro (I think I did more harm than good), but it just doesn`t catch the violet color right. Imagine just a shade more purple in the top half of the car.
Anyway, this is Testors Boyd "Coupster" kit. Believe it or not, it was painted with TESTORS sprays!! I must say, the Ultraviolet spray is absolutely beautiful, and these pictures don`t do it justice. I highly recommend it. Wimbledon White was used for the bottom half. These colors were part of the new line of Testors spray laquers, and IMO are right on par with Tamiya, maybe even better! I was very impressed, especially for Testors!
Let me know what you think!

Extremely beautiful build. I must have that kit. Is the kit testors as well?

Re: Finally!!! `37 Ford Boyd Coupster

Wow. Thanks guys. The kit is a Testors kit and is number 5313. It is a pretty decent kit and even includes valvetrain detail under the valve covers!!!! However, the plastic seems cheap and started to "melt" under automotive primer.
I`ll try to get more pics, including the engine. The wheels are Pegasus "Diablos" and are excellent quality. Pretty much the entire front suspension was scratch built to accept the much bigger tire and wheels and to get it to "sit" jsut right.Other than that, it is pretty much box stock.

Awesome build. Love it!

I bought the Hot Wheels 1:64 Legends Boyd Coddington set with the CheZoom, Hi-Boy, Cadzilla and Smoothster.

That's some impressive paint! Nice build, colors suit the model well.

I had okay results w/Wimbledon White and Italian Red, disastrous results w/Big Bad Blue...the can/nozzle were garbage...but it does airbrush nicely when transfered to a cup and mixed w/some Gunze Mr. Color Thinner.

I was hoping it would be as good as Tamiya, but in my experience it's nowhere near as good, because of the crappy nozzles. It's still hit or miss w/Testors...Tamiya is good all the time.

Re: Finally!!! `37 Ford Boyd Coupster

Thanks for all the complements guys!
You guys probably wont believe this, but I actually saw a real boyd coupster tonight! It was orange, and a convertible top. Believe it or not, the kit`s fenders seem a little narrow compared to the real life car.
