My New Car can Really Turn on a Dime ~ Sunday, August 26, 2007

Here it is.





(Rimshot!)

This is a µ-Art 1904 Oldsmobile, a folded brass kit.

I pretty much followed the directions for this, except for substituting a turned brass horn (on the tiller) for their two-dimensional flat brass one. The finishing was all brush-painting, after spraying on Dullcote as a primer (I think I'm hitting the limits of my detail-painting abilities on the tires--on the next one of these I build, I'll make sure to paint them separately before gluing them on).
