GerN Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 You like fastbacks as much as me ... would love to see some of these in a WIP. Yeah, I think the fastback is the purest auto style. I like the 3 box style the least. Hatchbacks and humpbacks are also OK - I've been working on a 1941 Willys conversion to a humpback today, in fact.

I can't keep the 2 joint areas from sinking badly 59 Villager Wagon. This one started with an extra 59 EDSEL hardtop & Ford Wagon Resin bodies. Doing another in Styrene, but not getting as good a joint/bonding!! Original AMT 59 Convertible Got this as a built. Only missing the instruction sheet!!!

gtx6970 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Couple old started projects that have sat many many years exactly the way shown here. Original issue Johan 1970 Road Runner . It had a badly damaged decklid when I go it , so I cut it out and was replacing it with one cut from the Superbird kit and that was as far as it went 2nd one is an original issue MPC 1968 Barracuda. I wanted to make a BO29 Hemi cuda out of it but couldn't bring myself to sand off the 1968 only rocker trim, so it sits . I've had both of them probably close to 20 years and they've sat like this for close to if not more than 15 years in boxes. Someday maybe.

Edsel-Dan Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 The red Squad body is Plastruct. Not sure it is Worth using. That is why the unpainted White Styrene replacement. Remember, that is 1/32 scale too, Not 1/25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moparfarmer Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Sure dig cars in primer. Mostly light grey primer or white. Sure brings out the details that you don't see with a color coat on them. I like shiney though so I guess they got to be painted in the end. Some very nice stuff here though...
