Fundamental Friday - (Episode 30) - Box Stock Build - (Episode 3) - Importance of Color Contrast

[@vacustoms]

I love the color theory... ties everything together... if that's all I take from this edition my builds will look that much better... other than that... details, details, details... you make it look so easy... lolol... I wonder how many hours you've logged in over the years... too many to count I bet... as always, thanks for the tips and the inspiration... you make even the most mundane of assembly steps come to life...

The decal stripe gives a nice touch to the interior and keeps it within the color range like you said. Great video Donn. Have a great weekend buddy. Terry

[@michaelcooke2559]

Excellent work. The three color rule is a great rule, and painting the underside body color is a great idea. I usually only do that on Mopars, but I’ll do it in everything from now on. Great detail work on the steering wheel. Something I’ll do from now on. Thanks for sharing.

Ha I love you keep the pieces in a box. With cats running around my house there is NO WAY I could do that! I enjoy your videos and appreciate the time you take to make them. Thanks!

[@tracymccormick7792]

[@tracymccormick7792]

[@Enigma-Sapiens]

Thank you very much for the energy and passion put into sharing your experience, passion, I always enjoy watching, Hopefully applying it , not only in modelling.

I used stretched sprue out of the kit box for spark plug wires! First time I got first place in box stock @ an I P M S contest ! Painted them black and bazinga! Plus they laid on the engine nicely without being kinky looking.

[@tracymccormick7792]

Sup bro!! Congrats on your win!! And if you have an old phone charger cable or anything electronic that doesnt work,you can get perfect size wires out of things like that for spark plug wires,master cylinder etc etc,i took apart a remote control car that died and BAM!! Wire jackpot!! I have to say though i admire your determination in stretching plastic man,thats intense lol be cool bro

[@kevinsmith7697]

Box stock has to be out of the box only. Hence the stretched sprue.😎

[@tracymccormick7792]

@@kevinsmith7697 ohhh….dude,my bad,forgive me lol im still learning,totally understand you now,im gonna try this stretching plastic that you speak of though lol brain storm is rumbling

Your tips have helped me in the past to make my models better each build. Although I dont enter my cars in contests, I do have a kit that I am going to consider entering in a local autorama next year, and hope that I can achieve the level worthy of entering into a contest. A Buick GS, I owned one back in the day and plan to re create it. Need your DVDs!

[@goforitpainting]

I think the color theory is the most important because you see the colors first and only then do you look at the small details and accessories.

[@robertmann7277]

On a box-stock build, are there written guidelines somewhere that indicate what you can and cannot do ( like I like to drip some Elmer's glue to simulate a glass bezel over the gages)

[@VM-gy8bm]

I've got a lot of work ahead of me. Working on a Toyota supra kit, but it for sure ain't by the instructions 😅😅 Im working on making a mid engined supra, using the motor out of the Ford GT le mans kit

[@goliath63079]

High level real car builders do alot of the same techniques for show cars. Interesting info though, I should say I have been doing that for years now too.

[@timothymelick7085]

Iam armor modeler but used to build cars back in the day sometimes we need to step out of box so we we dont get burned out iam doing a kit bash of a car using motor from one car to put it the other making a pro street rod i would like to know if you have made headers and what did you use to make them ive tryed using aluminum wire with no success kit ones won't work any info would help great videos too injoy them

[@JDMcCoy-ge5su]

I made a paint order error. I sprayed fluorescent red (Tamiya TS-36) on a body and need the nose of the car to be white. What’s the best way to get it the right color with out bleeding through?

[@michaelhintzmikesminiature1812]

[@mikehynes6632]

Do you spray anything over your Alclad?

[@ScaleModelTechniques]
