Renovation
of a friend's flea market find nostalgic model.
|
Appearance
before disassembly
  
|
Complete
knockdown
|
I removed the
remaining paint with automotive paint remover gel.
|
Paint scratching before had left
deep scratches on the body, I reduced the depths by sanding.
|
I applied putty in the potholes
and scratches.
|
|
I
did not like the headlamps, cast in transparent green. So I made a
casting die and by using UV-cured Bondic, I cast two clear headlamps.
|
I applied primer on the body.
|
I applied some color to the
inside and painted the wheels with aluminum.
|
|
I
covered the rear lamps with Bare Metal Foil and painted with clear
glass paint. For the rear scripts, I scratched the paint, revealed the
base metal and covered with clear coat to prevent darkening. I applied
Bare Metal Foil to the back of the headlamps, and painted the turn
signal zones with clear glass paint. I glued the headlamps to the body
inside. I also applied Bare Metal Foil on the front and rear bumpers.
|
|
Finally, I
assembled the model.
