Here's a Matchbox/AMT Corvette done with Tamiya gold/clear orange spray cans. The colour glows in sunlight!

More Candy Colour goodness...
Metallic green with candy green brush painted for Ratfinks face, gold base with candy red for his babygrow.
This little darlin' has the same face treatment. The cloak is matt black, drybrushed humbrol metallic green and candy green over that
Pictures taken against different card backgrounds in natural overhead daylight using my phone camera.
The Revell Boss Mustang below was shot in a similar way. The car is sat on a sheet of glass with the underside sprayed black with a downloaded picture of the salt flats printed for a background.
These two were sat on the same sheet of glass and the shot taken from overhead. I moved the glass around until the shadows and reflections were as good as I could get them. A couple of photoflood lamps would have made things easier.

Some excellent work in this thread,most likely doesn't get the amount of views it deserves ,love that photography work too Mr headsoff
Another one of my original `60s builds restored... Monogram`s kit of Steve Scotts recently found `Uncertain T`.
Luckily everything came apart fairly easily and any painted parts were stripped off ready for fresh paint and all the chrome parts were `rechromed`. The original front axle had one end missing so after a search through my parts box I found a dropped tube axle similar to the original.
A couple of `artistic licence` changes were the Antique Gold paint (instead of Tangerine `flake) and Whitewall tires on the rear, which I believe the 1/1 scale car never had!...
That's turned out really nice Brian
Superb. That's a very tidy rebuild. What brand of paint did you use? It looks spot on for gold metalflake in that scale.
Thanks Tony. It`s PlastiKote `Project Enamel` fast dry, I was pleased with the Metalflake effect too. Would look cracking with a translucent paint `tonner` top coat which would emulate the `60s Candy over Metalflake paint styleOriginally Posted by headsoff

There's always something to do on the full size stuff.

Nice one Brian, i will be on the look out for stuff, just ordered some more fuse wire ready
I've spent the morning sorting out old builds to take to the Mildenhall Model Show on Saturday. It's at the Jubilee Center, Mildenhall IP28 7HG. There's usually a decent amount of car models in amongst the olive green and aircraft stuff.
Once the models were out on the bench, the picture opportunities presented themselves.
Endless trying of different bases and pairings have got me to here so far.. All need a good dusting and a polish. Nothing major has dropped off in storage, which is a plus.
There are a few more to add before the kick off, a pair of Hertz Mustangs and a Corvette or two plus maybe a few Roth Finks. This lot will be with the Watford Models stand. At the moment there are two of us on the stand. If more turn up my lot will get thinned out a bit, I'm a club guest for the day.
They all look very presentable
Have a fun day out

Nice one - love the drag Chevies. Didn't the Monkeemobile have chrome header tips in those fender cut-outs?
