Project Basket Case Update
December 2010 update. Been learning how to airbrush and relearning some modelling skills from 25 years ago using the rough rider body that the chassis was wearing when I bought it. I've repaired the original smashed up roof & aquired some spotlights from Anchordriver (cheers Ian!!). Airbrushing is more difficult than I imagined it would be. had a few problems with the brush, the thickness of the paint I was spraying and the paint that was too thin bleeding through the masking tape. Any way after some touching up with a brush & some better masking tape it looks ok now & is ready for some coats of clear & some speed parts decals. This is supposed to be the runner body so that I can keep the SS body looking good when it's finished. It's taken so long to get to this point that I'm not sure that I dare run it!!!

I was considering learning Air brushing earlier in the year, but after a bit of research it seems a lot to learn, so I didn't bother. looks like you've progressed well, thats a nice looking shell. I think you need after shell for the runner..

Love it. What a GREAT paint scheme!! Now you can add two or three vintage sponsor decals and it will look perfect.
