63 Ford Galaxie XL model build

[@mikejungferman4744]

I felt like i was watching myself work , finally a guy that can build a model without treating it like it's gonna be in the Smithsonian, nice video thanks for bringing me back down to earth, and having fun

[@TheModelingHermit]

Thank you for the kind comments. I just like to build for the enjoyment. Sometimes, I stretch myself and go all out on a model, but generally, I just build for shelf display. It's all about fun,

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

'63 turned out really nice 🤜🤛

[@TheModelingHermit]

Thank you. It's one of my favorite old kits.

[@michaelcooke2559]

Very nice work. Some nice tips too. Thanks for sharing.

[@TheModelingHermit]

Thank you. I like to include anything that I've learned over my lifetime to help others.

You can easily apply a headliner over the glass bracing by using embossing powder. Nice 73 Ford, by the way. One of my favorites!

[@TheModelingHermit]

That's a good tip. I generally remove the runners, just because they get in the way of the headliner bows.

[@mikejungferman4744]

I don't understand that, who looks at the headliner ?

[@TheModelingHermit]

@@mikejungferman4744 I don't place them often, but some cars like the 59-61 GM cars have really noticeable roof interiors, and it's just fun to play with them. There are times when I just feel like going all out with a model, and I'll include items such as headliners and Mexican blankets, and any other thing that I can think of.

What a great looking build! I really like your color choices and the fender skirts. 😎👍

[@TheModelingHermit]

Thank you very much.

[@jackmcgill3150]

Great video! Always look forward to them.

[@TheModelingHermit]

Thank you. This was one of those cars that I built many times without a glitch, until the camera is rolling, but I was successful with the overflow tank.

Nice build as always. I use that double sided tape myself. I need to get some canopy glue.

[@TheModelingHermit]

You will really like the canopy glue. I used school type glue long ago, but the canopy glue holds much better and longer. It's more expensive, but well worth the extra cost, in my opinion.

[@bkmodelcars]

Nicely done Looks great

[@TheModelingHermit]

Thank you. I love building these old annuals. They take me back to my beginnings.

You should do all the reselling on the firewall like what color wires and stuff before you close that on the firewall

[@TheModelingHermit]

Thanks. That's a good point.
