1967&1970&1974 mercury marquis broughams

MCHALE - thanks for sharing! What can you tell us about that "Mercury" inscription on the hood of the blue one? Do you like it?

Thanks again and have a nice day

i dont care for the mercury lettering  but i had to write it because i dont have any mercury decals i love my builds 

Hello!

Sorry to write you that, but I feel that since you post the photos of your models here for people to see, you should care more abouth those models. Like I wrote, that's just how I fell about it. Good luck with your projects and have a nice day

i am very proud of my marquis broughams i am just not happy that there are no mercury marquis decals out there and that i had to write mercury on the front of my model 

Alright McHale !

   Here's a lesson in getting er done ! Do you have one of those lettering machines , or access to one ? If so .The electronic one can print almost to the size you need and neatly too .They have tape that prints in silver letters as well as in the right size ! .Check one out if you can .

     The Turquoise ( Blue ?) one looks almost like a 77 , The hood lines are darned near on target ! . Now do mine . Tanker Builder !

   Remember - It's dark green Vinyl top , with very light metallic green body .On the blue one you've darned near got it perfect .  T.B. P.P.S. Don't forget the Brougham has the fender edge trim all the way down from front to back and the bottom trim on the rear fender skirt too .Yes, McHale I love them Mercury Broughams too !

no i dont have one or access to one i plan on doing a 77 grand marquis based on your but mine is going to have a sun roof and hawaiian plates and i am going to do a 96 grand marquis

Are the bodies painted by brush??

i hand painted the roofs of all 3 of them with acrylic matte craft paint 

and i also hand painted the red interior of the 67 with acrylic matte craft paint 

If you have a computer you might have a printer. Use a Word program, the kind that offers several fonts in various sizes and type out MARQUIS. Now size it to fit on your model car. Save that and buy some cheap Testors decal paper at Hobby Lobby. Print your logo, then apply it to the car. 

Good looking cars by the way. I like them Mercurys. 

Hey !

 If you put a sunroof on the brougham ,when it rains I'll get wet ! Waiting for you .  T.B.  I really don't mind the Hawaiian plates but I am from Arkansas originally .

thanks tanker-builder i  ordered another  amt 70 ford police car kit to make  it with yesterday on amazon  so i have to wait till it ships and be delivered 

I would advice trying your hand with at least spray can paints. You will achieve a much better finish.

i do use spray paint to paint the bodies and the interiors but when i cant get the colors in spray paint i need for the roofs and interiors i hand paint them with the bottles of acrylic craft paint 

Oh Boy !

    I am going to be waiting with bated breath ! T.B.
