So I recently I picked up this lot and The idea is to repaint 3 of them in the different ideas I have to try and decide what direction to go in with Ruby

Then a few days ago I found this beauty

I picked up 3, 1 for my sons collection, 1 for my collection and one to strip apart and repaint the way I decide in the previous exercise

I have currently striped two other cars, one being a 71 VW Bus and the other a 52 Chevy pickup. I will be practicing on these before I start on the birds.

I didn't take picks of this yet but I will

to assist me I found my kit, purchased an airbrush as I couldn't find the one I had and picked up my compressor from dads in storage

Charlie, can’t wait to see what you end up with.

Kev, those look awesome. I’ve wanted to try at least re-decaling a black model to look like my black 77 w/charcoal and red decals. Maybe someday I will

Good Deal!  I have at least 50 car models from the 70's, most the standard size (what ever that is) some of the larger scale ones, some are metal Hubleys.  I have carted them from house to house with my wife threatening to throw them away.  I keep saying that one of these days I am going to dig into them and start to do some 'restorations'. Gotta be cheaper and take up less room than a real car.
I have a real nice large scale 79 TATA model to complete also  :grin: :grin:

Nexus:
I'm Curious to see how that model of your turns out Kerry


Kev, if I can make mine look half as nice as those I'd be doing good. How did you get the hood birds scaled down to look good? EDIT: disregard. I just went back and started reading

I'd also be interested to hear some does and don'ts, tips and tricks as well if you'd be willing to share
