1935 Ford Coupe - Complete build. 

That's the way my brother wanted it, I would have preferred to do it rusty. lol.

Thanks Big Steve, it turned out well and I enjoyed putting the video together, glad you liked it.

Thanks Mike, I like to make the videos interesting also, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Gary, it had its challenges but now its done.

Thanks Tom, it's a challenging kit. For myself I would have done it rusty, but it's for my brother. Didn't realize he was such a cool looking guy. lol.

Thanks Gary, there were some challenges with the kit but you are correct, it's nice when it's done. Enjoy your build and the memories that go with it. Will you be posting pics of the build?

Thanks John, should have thinned it a bit more, still a little texture in the finish. Takes practice and playing with the mix and air pressure, I find about 55% future 45% acrylic craft paint and 28-30 psi with the Paasche H airbrush works pretty well. The Aztec paints are airbrush ready and available at Michaels, they give a good idea of the thinness of the paint. I also use badger primer first.

I find when I use the cup it goes on better I also use the paasche H

Model Car Minion Just FYI our Michael’s here near me are clearing out all the Aztec paint. I picked up the last 3 bottles at one store for like $2 ea.

I use the cup all the time too, not sure about using the bottles.

do you mix it first before you put it in the cup?

Thanks Gordon, didn't know about the figures, they had a few of them loose in a box at the hobby store. I googled the name you used and saw they are for train layouts.

Preiser is a German Mfg. of many scales of figures. You can find the same figures as you have scaled down to 1:87 HO. The 1:24 scale works well for the garden scale rail hobbyists. Hot tooling the hair will add easy detail. I also have some 1:24 scale Prussians, (Frederick the Great era) and Adam and Eve sets, well detailed. Also check out Masterbox for 1:24 scale figure kits. ICM makes a 3 figure set of Henry Ford, a mechanic and friend. Cheers.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks Rusty, the video was more fun than the build. lol.

Thanks Charlie, don't remember hearing about the Gerber baby, does sound vaguely familiar though. lol. Still have that big wave in my hair.

Thanks for watching and commenting Craig.

Thanks John, They had them loose in a box at the local hobby shop, according to Gordon's comment below they are Preiser figures probably for train sets.

Thanks for the comment, it almost became a glue bomb trying to put the body and chassis together but turned out better than I had expected.

Thanks Rick, your wheels worked out great.

Thanks Gary, that's the colour my brother said his car was.

Thanks Mike, there were some challenges and a lot of cleanup.

Thanks Ron, the kit needs a lot of work.

Thanks Ken, I appreciate you stopping by.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video, this kit has some issues but it looks good once it's done. I sub'ed your channel as well.

Thanks for the comment, they don't make a '35 ford coupe kit so the grill is not correct on this one, but it was fun to build and do the video.

@@ModelCarMinion for sure, I believe at one time their may have been a resin kit or parts to convert, that was a while back though. I have an original 36 Fork kit going I need to jump back on! Love em!!

Thanks Tommy, I spent most of the afternoon yesterday editing the video, I enjoy that as much as the build, glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Mike, I just found those figures a the local hobby shop.

Thanks Dan, the build was a challenge, glad it's finally done.

Thanks Wayne, finally finished it and found some old baby pictures, my brother looked pretty cool back then. lol.

Thanks Kenny, I like to build memories at the same time.

Thanks Dylan.

Thanks Paul.

Thanks Vince, I wish I could take it out also. lol. Long before my time. Also, I didn't realize how cool my brother looked back then. lol.

Thanks Thomas glad you enjoyed the video.

Thanks for the comment.

Thanks Chopper, just checked out your video on how you got started in modeling. It's a great hobby and I use it to bring back memories of cars I knew when I was a much younger. This build was for my brother's memory of his first car.

Thanks Vaughn, it took me a longer time than I thought, the kit needed a lot of work.

Thanks Kevin, more for my brother, but it was interesting going through my baby pictures again. lol.

Thanks Bill, lots of clean up on those AMT-MPC kits.

yes your right lots of clean up pity sometimes it can dishearten you a bit

I prefer the Monogram/Revell kits but they don't always make the car I'm looking for. Guess that extra cleanup is part of the hobby.

yeh I am the same I like the 32 ford kit I could build that every day of the week the coupe or the roadster

Thanks Oron, the wire wheels ended in '35 so they did not come with the kit.
