CorvairJim Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Yes, and then, since there is no pressure, maybe the finished products are better, because no one is hurry. I like building without deadlines, always for example, if model car show is on the next weekend, I'm getting hurry, and maybe the finished product is not as good, as it could be... The Cars Of Rock 'n' Roll and County Music is a great community build, but my progress is just too slow, because the Merc' needs lots of work. The body needs to be sanded, and filled again, and chassis maybe needs some cutting, not sure of that yet, but stuff like that... It would be great to have that as open-ended CBP. No sooner said than done! I just went to that CBP and revised it so that the deadline is gone. Anybody looking in on this CBP and wants to get in on the other one is more than welcome!

W-409 Posted August 23, 2011 Author Share Posted August 23, 2011 Little update to RS V8 Corvette. I put some putty to the body, and now it's getting closer to primering, but there's still lots of sanding left. Some chassis work also is coming ahead. How about the other projects, I'd like to see some progress of them too...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifster Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I'm in the process of moving but I should have my desk/bench done soon. I have the kit already so that isn't an issue. I'll go with a '63 Volkswagen Beetle... Yes, Herbie! I need to decide on an engine. Herbie came with a few different engines from a Porsche 356 engine to a dual carbed 1835cc engine. I think I have a stock 356 motor hanging around... Does Jimmy Flintstone have a Buddy Hacket character? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Pugh Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Two of my best friends have Herbie replicas. This is a pic of my driveway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgflatliner Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 i suppose this gives me a reason to get a couple more builds started/finished. i have a total of 3 i'd like to enter. Sauber C9 Mercedes Toyota Tom's 84C LeMans Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 rally car (the kit was produced in 85 so it CAN'T be newer than 1990!) if i can only choose one it'll be the sauber c9. i do have a couple other builds taking priority though.

patami Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Hey Niko! Is it ok to join in with a Locost since they are run in the historic trophy here in Finland? Got one that i have on my to do list. I will either put a vw golf engine or a volvo b 20 in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted November 22, 2011 Author Share Posted November 22, 2011 Tom, Mark and Patrik, you are all in. You can join with as many models, as you want, and I believe, that Locost is alright. We race with them, that's true and that's why it's Ok. I add your names to the entry list, thanks for joining in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patami Posted November 22, 2011 Share Posted November 22, 2011 Okey great then i have to dig out the Lotus kit and start transforming it to a Locost. Might allso do a Volvo Amatzon race car. Havent desided jet if it s gonna be a historic or a roadsport one. Or maybe even a rally car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted November 23, 2011 Author Share Posted November 23, 2011 Amazon sounds interesting too. When you've decided, what are you going to do with it, tell me and I count you in with that one too... If you want so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wgflatliner Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 As of now I am waiting for the aftermarket stuff to show up in the mail and I will continue work on the sauber Mercedes. The engine is close to done if anything. The body is painted and half of the decals are done. The parts I am expecting are the photo etch and carbon fiber decals.

wgflatliner Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Got my aftermarket stuff last night. Building shall commence when I get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patami Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Started on the Locost frame to day. Locked at the Tamiya Super seven and camed to the conclusion that the body is far to thick. So im gonna build the space frame and dress it whit sheet styrene in stead. Pics to come when im a little longer in the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Turned out really nice! That is also the first completed build in this CBP, congratulations about it. Great looking paint and decals look good too. Nice details. Really great job with the Hustler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swifster Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I've never tried automotive colors for a model built. Found some Krylon white for the bug. While visiting my parents, I also found my Porsche engine and it's from the Carerra kit (DOHC) so I'm not sure if I'm going the Porsche route. May try Webers on the VW engine. Again, Herbie had quite a few engines in him. Still looking for Buddy Hacket. I may make two if I can find another bug in the next week. One normal and the other in 'halves'....

wgflatliner Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Well I am still putting this off until I finish the Hudson hornet. I'm getting close with it, just gotta clear cost and finish the body before final assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted December 30, 2011 Author Share Posted December 30, 2011 Sounds like great plan! I've been thinking about that last day to join in. This is so small CBP, and don't get so much replies, that maybe I would remove that Last day to join in. Then it can be added later again.

Swifster Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 I found the stripes for Herbie. Why is it everytime I order something that needs to be mailed that I can't get the Jeopardy theme song out of my mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swifster Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 Dude! If I had caught that I could've sent you a set for nothin! By the way, Herbie was pearl white. DOH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
