Revell 34' Ford Snapper 'Giggly Bits'

Post by slowlylearning »

Failed the paint on it twice, but eventully got it to where I was vaguely happy with it :lol:

Wheels I think are from a tube-chassy dragster kit, decals by our very own Mr Bodgy (thanks man!), paint is Tamiya except for the inside of the fenders and stepguards which were brushpainted Vallejo Model Air Black and the wheels which were brush painted Vallejo ModelAir Gunmetal with a Molotow Chrome Pen lip (thanks Bear!).

I rushed the end and I lost the sexy lady pinup decals I got sent that I was gonna use on this. When I find em I'll put em on. I'm glad it's done, though it's my fault it took so long because I messed up the paint a couple-a times. How it sits now it not technically complete, so some day I might just glue some open header-ends to the underside and maybe write the Gasser-Class on the side of it in gel pen.

I can sorta relate, last 3 for me are not 100%.
Not too fussed though, as sometimes its just good to get something built and near enough to complete that it looks good in a few beauty shots and will be sitting pretty on the shelf or in the display case providing inspiration and motivation for the next one. ;)
