Bare Foil Update
Amazing what a difference a little detailing can add. The first shot is a bone stock assembled 1961 Chevy I recently acquired:
And this is after nothing more than bare foil work and an upgrade to more period correct whitewalls along with 1955 Chevy passenger car wheel covers. I have authentic outside mirrors, antenna, and spotlights that could be added, but I think I may stop here. What do you think? I also bagged up the original wheels, tires, and wheel backings so the model can be restored to original if desired. By the way, the newest package of Bare Foil I purchased proclaims “New Improved Chrome”. They aren’t kidding. This stuff is much easier to use than any I’ve tried previously. It comes off the backing easily, doesn’t fold up trying to get it to the model, trims nicely, and doesn’t leave any gooey residue. |
