Built by: Scotty Harrod ~ Australia
Here's the old T.D. favourite (and one
of mine!) the RED BARON.
This kit was acquired from a swap meet
in Brisbane for me from my old mate Tony (the
Green Lapper) Dahl for a yet still undisclosed sum of moneys!
(I'll get the truth outta you someday Dahl! ...all I know it was cheap
as chips!).
The thing was in pretty good nick for a
older one except for a dull chrome on the helmet& a run in the
chrome on the back of it! (never came across that before??) Otherwise
the kit is 'perfectamondo'.
Built this'un as per instructions,
(is our Scotty gettin' soft??) but added a bit more detail.
Seeing as this is a 70's show rod it
need to be more than just plain Red, so I gave it a shot of Silver
acrylic over the body, chassis & console / dashboard. Then
tried a new idea using Tamyia clear Red....YEP....instant candy apple!
(Just gotta thin it a bit to get a nice flow through the airbrush).
Once you get the desired amount of Red let dry then add a coat or two
of Acrylic Clear...YUMMY!
After building the 'Baron' I forgot how
small it is!
Hope you folks like it ...have to
admit...I DO!
Scotty.
