Nammon's 1955 S1 86"

What do you guys think about this sample color whether it is close to bronze green for S1 or not. I use the leftover color from the chassis as a guide to do the sample

All my vehicles are pretty beaten up - so when I see a nice paint job - it doesn't look right to me. You should do what you think is best for you. How are you going to apply it? Roller? Brush? Spray Gun?
cheers,

As I live in Bangkok I should try and comment on this thread. I have been holding off while trying to catch up with Nammon, but have not been able to do so yet.

Today I went to the shop that is doing Mammons S1 restoration. Unfortunately the owner was not there, and the couple of workers that were there were at a bit of a loss at what to do with this Old Farang that had wandered in!

The "garage" is difficult to describe if you are not familiar with how these things operate in Thailand. However, it is probably best described as the original "Aladdin's Cave". It just unbelievable what is in there! It would take several days just to try and walk around and take in about half of it. Many jobs in progress, sad remains laying around, more spare engines and wheels stacked up beyond belief! A stack of old S1 rusted out bulkheads just to show how some of the cars were before being worked on. There just does not seem to be any end to it!

He also has a big assortment of metal working machinery, such as a large guillotine, metal folder, etc., etc.

I am not sure if it is permitted, so mods please delete if not, as I will add a URL that has a bunch of photos showing, not only S1, but many other models. It even has a couple of photos of Mr Andrew, whom some of you may know. Cheers.
