Slump Buster
« on: July 30, 2019, 03:19:17 PM »
This quick build 2 day slump buster was a fun build and a great way for me to get back to building again!!!  All done with only 3 colors of rattle can paint!!!  I used Tstors Italian Red, Plastcote semigloss black and Plasticote cast coat which resembles raw cast iron for the chassis!

Thanks guys, I appreciate the comments!!!  Considering the fact that the Corvette is from an AMT kit that’s kind of a glue kit simplified like the the old Craftsman series from our youth.  Very few parts and there wasn’t much cleanup due to crisp nearly flashless moulding!  Funny thing is that I bought this kit for a kid who was 14 years old and thought he wanted to learn to build model cars but he really wasn’t.  The kit sat in my stash for the last six years until I really needed an easy build to get myself out of a major slump!  I finished this in two days completely box stock and ran into the kid, now 20 years old!  I told him about the model so he stopped over to see it and he loved it so much that I sent it home with him with a huge grin on his face!!!
