The Frozono Merc

Hi......

I steel waiting for warm weather....... I start this project........ a 49 Merc........

I'm using a technic that a friend told me. I start the doors and the trunk. I applied some dark wash.........



I used a carbon pencil to make visible the mold lines......




Then i sand the body........... this will help the primer for get smooth......................





I applied some dark wash to give more shadow on the doors and trunk...........




I order other set of wheels and i make some changes.........




I want them to look like this ones........ and this is the idea that i have in mind fore the paint job (not the same).........



So I did some changes...... I strip the chrome and I make the centers.........




Also i order the stromberg carburetors for the engine............




I will post more pics...............

diffrent merc

Good beginning.

Looking good so far, where did you get those other wheels? They are neat.

Hi..........

A little bit more of the model........

Last night I worked with the body...........






I decided to use this lights for the rear........ I will paint it red..........



I striped the chrome of all the parts. I will re chromed all with Alclad II........

If the weather change next week i will prime the body to see if needs more work...........

I will post more pics..........

Thanks every one......... I will go to a custome car show in Boston this saturday........ .......... I will post the pics...........

Ths is one of my favourite kits. You my friend are building one sweet ride. Look forward to watching this one. Happy building.

I also really like this kit, the path you are taking with this one is looking great, keep at it man.

OK .......... I went to the show and here a few pics............

First i found a Merc.........













Sow i came back to my hose (with my tank full with ideas) and went strait to the work bench to work with my model..............

I primed the body to see if needs more body work...........





Then i sand it, washed and dried............ and give 2 coats of tuxedo black satin..........
