AMT Chevy Custom Van Foxy Box

Post by BlackSheep214 »

Another repop of a kit I did as a kid. The kit:

I'm going to do something out of the ordinary with painting the body. A method called Hydrodipping. It creates a funky swirl of paints on the car body. Kinda similar what they did with the KISS van model on the box cover.

It's basically you dip a model kit in very hot water (at least 90 degrees) with two or more colors from a spray can in the water. Then you slowly dip your car/truck body nose first upside down as you submerge it completely before quickly remove it out of the water. The paint in the water just breaks apart after taking it out. I will do a few experimental tests with junk car body parts.

Youtube has a few video how-tos online.

Built up the engine as simple as can be. Not gonna see it since the hood is molded closed.
