Boy, do you have a lot of flocking! I have two small containers of flocking, but I prefer to use embossing powder instead. To me, it looks a little more realistic and I can paint it whatever color I want.

I went back and used watered down Elmers Glue and the embossing powder stuck to it better than Mod Podge. I primered the body and body parts this afternoon and I found that I need to do more sanding and filling on the nose piece. I was anxious to see some paint on the Barracuda and I painted and detailed the taillight piece. Not bad!    More Barracuda to come... |

Thanks Al! My Club held it's monthly Build-A-Thon on Sunday on Zoom and it was an opportunity to get the other builds back online! I've ignored the Land Rover for far too long and the Challenger was heading in that direction. I've go to get these builds off the bench!

I painted the Barracuda this afternoon with Model Master Bright Calypso Metallic Lacquer. I have to admit that the color looks pretty good! This is almost a perfect match to my '65 Coronet convertible that I planon building someday.    More Barracuda to come... |

Thanks Al! A white interior would look good with just about all colors, but it should look fantastic with the Bright Calypso Metallic!

Kinda looks like Q5 Seafoam Turquoise - a great color scheme, and ironically my current project. Great minds, eh ?  Attachments:
