Slowly's Merc

Really into customs at the moment so I decided to get a nice easy kit to do. It's a snap-tite kit, so I don't have to worry about the engine And for added laziness i wont be doing any under-body detail either I've started a drawing so I can get a better idea of what I'm doing. It also helps me work out how to get the most out of the bodylines and possible paint-schemes.

So far I have been sanding it all over to get rid of the 'no paint needed' sheen and started plugging up police-light holes as well as got a start on the frenched lights.

Here be pics!

Oops, sorry about the last picture, forgot to rotate it...

Also, I have no ideas on colour/s yet, any suggestions would be appreciated!

A set of wheels, some glass and a grille - Viola - Rat Rod !!

I will be watching this. I personally think this body looks great in a bright red! Mind you looks bloody good at the moment as a ratty too hehehe !!!

Candy red or a dark metallic green I think always looks good.

Black is always good maybe a cherry and cream theme would suit?

Haha yeah, the chipped-off effect on the whitewalls does the trick aye

Yeah I'm pretty keen on a red for it, its a creat colour for customs

yeah, a 2-tone would be awesome, just need to figure out a separation line

Thanks for the suggestions guys

Heres the drawing in black and the right way Drew in the little graphite line to see if doing it 2-tone would look cool that way... still undecided.
