Got a little more done on the Edsel. I sanded the first coat of primer smoothing everything out. Still some body work to do.  Slice off the stock mufflers  I made some brake discs from flat washers and calipers from scrap styrene.  Getting there! Got the stance and wheels set.  |

very cool Ron, You will have to share the washer disk brake tecqnique, I know I surely would love to use that on several of the models I am trying to build they look awsomely sharp! very realistic! Sure, It's easy. I picked up these washer packs a Wal Mart,  I worked the smooth side with various grit sanding sticks to get a used look to them.    Then find a wheel back that fits your wheel combo and glue the washer to it. I made the calipers from scrap sheet and rod styrene and painted them with some Testor's metallizer. You can get as detailed as you want here.   |
