Farewell to the Queen
Well, it's finally done. I have been painting the body of my shelfer with the no name Novak for her new owner. It still needs a little tweaking, she is not perfect. But this has been a fun project. I hope you all like it.
Erich, I hope you enjoy it as much as I have enjoyed building it.

Re: Farewell to the Queen
Tad,
I thought you unloaded that "work of perfection" on epay months ago. How did it work that you kept it and painted a body for it too? Did the buyer pay extra?
Very nice work though. I dont think you could have created a more perfect example.

Things went south on eBay. As the lead bidder pulled out, the second in command went another route and had to forfeit the lead. It was a real ;...(JPAE07 wrote:Tad,

Erich made me a very nice offer, so I took it. And I charged him $20 to paint the body
Before anyone asks, I will do another and no I will not do it for $20
Thanks for the compliments JP.

Thanks to you all for the wonderful compliments. I appreciate them very much.BTracer wrote:The single best replica paint job I have seen yet What shade did you use for the main body?
BTracer, I use all Parma paints with the excepting of a couple Creatix mixes I have made. The main body was done with Fasorange #40007 straight from the bottle. It is a little darker than the box car. Next car, I will add a touch of white to lighten it up some and probably back it with white once it is painted. Could be a mistake, but that is how I learn.

Thanks for the compliment Psy. I had been using Blazing Saddle quotes for years on all the boards I use to frequent. I thought it was a time for a change. The Avatar is next. Maybe I'll build an avatar (dramatic pause) out of a Deloreon.cyclepsych0 wrote:VERY nice!! Definitely something to be proud of. Also, I like the Back to the future quote as your signature.
