I like that color green… a very happy station wagon. Thank you.

[@TimeRider]

Glad you like it!

[@lotharrenz4621]

lovely. the green glows and shines like intended by Lesney. :) and if one wants to customize there are so many colour combos around. and almost as many castings... :)

TimeRideeeerrrr!! EXCELLENT! My first car was a '65 Country Sedan Wagon that we got when I was 7. I acquired it when I was 15 because it would no longer start. Long story short, I was racing it on the streets when I was 18. Yeah, it was no longer stock. Had it until I was 27. I should have kept it. It's my biggest regret. ANYWAY, this restoration is, like I said, EXCELLENT! Another great job, Brother!

Lee, the best way to replicate the Lesney early metalics is to use Tamiya flat aluminum (XF-16) as the base, then use solid green, blue etc to make the final color. I then add about 25% of clear to help enhance the gloss finish that the flat aluminum tends to mute. This method has worked well for me on the Austin Cambridge A55 (#29) and the Mercedes 300 SE (#46).

[@TimeRider]

Show me.
Thanks for watching...

[@jimm1939]

What's your email.... I'll send you pics of the two cars above that used the method I described.
