1918 For Runabout re-paint

[Ironworker]

Here's the last two WIP shots.  It's on the varnish table now so it's in the "done for now" catagory of projects.  I think I'm going to go pick up the others they had at the junk shop and make a few more varrients.  Thanks for the comments.  Feel free to add more if you like.  I'll add a finished shot to my thread in the Pulp section when I get a chance.

Thanks guys.  

One guy on the Reaper forum suggested I should try and find some magnetic buisness card stuff and make up different signs I can put on the sides.  I still need to work up a luggage rack system that I can attach and detach from the vehical as I need to.  I finished the headlights now I've got just a bit of light weathering to do and I can clear coat it and put the top back on.

Hmm, isn't the chassis die cast? That's aluminum, no?

[Ironworker]

No it's not aluminum and I think it is magnetic.  At lest my older die cast cars are.

[Hammers]

Anyhoo, its a beauty, Ironworker.

Die-cast models are usually cast from a zinc-aluminum-magnesium-copper alloy. Cannot comment on the level of ferromagnetism, but both zinc and copper are diamagnetic... I seem to recall, though, that €-cent coins are only magnetic because of their steel core...

I think if they added an amount of steel or iron to the alloy, that might explain magnetism.

EDIT: Oh yes, and that little car is beautiful.
