Yes ok so its another one ! I keep getting in a slump with projects lately, icon_bored_zpscodtnzo5 but I can pick up a 64 Impala and I get inspired ! ! 84 So I figured id build another one ! Every kit I build I try and improve from the last one, so I'm gonna try and beat my last 64, but I'm keeping this a little more subtle, just more detailed ! Interior was first, lots of smoothing out join lines then a coat of matt white, I removed the door handles, winders etc and replaced em with chrome parts from the spares box. I removed the SS logo and added a transfer then added p/e ring around the door light ! Lots of delicate BMF and paint and it look like this !   |

That is looking cool Martin. Great color combo, i like the green/white.
We all need slump busters, and quite often mine is a lowrider too,
but mainly because i love to paint, and a lowrider, i can build pretty stock, and just enjoy the build.

That white metal-flake looks awesome. Just wondering if it is white paint as going through the duplicolor stand today noticed that they now have what they call clear effex, a glitter effect clear coat that I wouldnt mind trying out.

Thanks DeeCee ! And VCV, its actually clear flake nail varnish, thinned and sprayed ! I'm just trying future floor stuff to clear it, not too bad but spray cans are better ! Let me know how the clear effex works out, I'm interested in it myself ! ! |

Looks good mate. As for paint/glue..... i use both, but if i have some enamel (humbrol, testors etc) paint of close to the same color, i use that as my first choice, if you use the white glue, try get a base color down that will help with coverage,. |

That interior is looking very neat Martin and the detailing is spot on. Looking forward to the rest of the build

Looks fantastic Martin! I'm with Dale on the color base for white glue as that's what I tend to use.
