Monogram Ice T
Posted by PatW on Thursday, April 30, 2020 4:54 AM

A lockdown special. I don't have spraying facilities as I packed it all away as soon as we sold our house, but Covid-19 has put the actual move on hold. So built this box stock and looked up 'how to paint ice cubes' on various sites and received multiple tips. Use clear blue acrylic and clear acrylic about 50% of each, so tested it.

Oh and the retractable headlights work as well!

I shall buy another of these kits after moving and spray it up in mutiple colours!

This is too cool!  It's screaming for a 60's psychedelic paint job!

Now "THAT" is awesome !!!!!!

I built it waaaaaay back in 1974, but mine had a few thumbprint's on it ....( whada ya expect from a 8 year old ...)

Nice job on the Ice block's  !

 Dont worry about the thumbprint, paint it Rust , and call it "Battle Damage"

Tom Daniel, baby, yeah!  Great finish!

I think that kit is 50 years old this year.

Thanks guys, yes the original kit was pretty old, but this shows 2010 on the instruction sheet.
