maltsr Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) I sincerely hope you will let me join in at this late stage - I know Rob enjoyed the last one I have a build that stalled more than a year ago, a Sox & Martin 'Cuda that had a major stuff up on one side - the red partly lifted with the masking tape I have just re-applied the red so the kit has moved back to the top of the build pile. I think this CBP has inspired me to complete it A couple of points, it's not a three day weekend here in NZ (that was last weekend ) and of course timewise we are ahead of you. Permission to start my build tomorrow (Friday) night? Here's where the S&M stands at the moment, body painted but stripe yet to be applied to hood. Still needs work, and no prep has been carried out on any other parts (if I can find them!!) Edited February 16, 2012 by maltsr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I'm really kicking this around Virgil. I've had a box stock build bouncing around in my head for a bit. I might do it with you guys this weekend. More soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Cranky Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Delighted to see a few more folks joining in. It's been raining hard down here in FLA, and I am hoping for better weather so that I can get everything in primer as early as Friday, but we'll see how it goes.

Dr. Cranky Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I've changed my kit at this late an hour. I am going with the Shelby Cobra. I've always wanted to build me one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob McKee Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 OK, I am going to go with something totally different from my usual American Automobile builds. A Ferrari F430. That's right I said it. It is the Revell kit though. I'll have to start mine this evening as well. I won't have much time on Monday to dedicate to this. So I will be trying to wrap this up by Sunday. The the games begin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
502 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I am dropping out of this. I was building a 99 silverado and I opened the kit today to find out that the front windshield has a big scratch in it. I'm putting this kit to the side for now. I'm going to order a new front windshield from revell. Maybe next time I can join in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool Hand Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) All-righty then, time to get started. Inspiration for my build Over view of parts etc Going to start with adapting the pegasus wheels to kit parts,then lower it a bit. Once thats done il clean up and prep the body for a prime,which should be a good start to the day. Will post some mock up pics after the ride height is set.

maltsr Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) That's gonna be cool Luke I'm a couple of hours ahead of you but have had interruptions this morning. Got everything primed, painted the blue stripe on the hood/scoop, then realised it would have to be extended to the grill. More masking of the body, but got it done OK. Quick light sanding and a polish before applying BMF around windows, followed by decals, only one side done so far!

Rob McKee Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Looks great Paul. Geeze, just as shiney as all of the others you have made. I have just washed and sanded down the body of the little Ferrari. Letting the primer setup for awhile here and hope to get the color on her tonight. Will post a couple of pictures shortly.

Dr. Cranky Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Paul your body is looking great with those decals. Luke, I love this model, it looks like you have it all ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob McKee Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Luke, what a great choice for the build. Love that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maltsr Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Taking a break from decals after completing the driver's side. Still need to apply the narrow white stripes near the edges of the blue stripes - these are on the Slixx decal sheet. Turning now to the engine, which will only be partly detailed. I discovered last night that the block has holes in it for the 'front axle' and too late to change motors at this late stage. Onwards and upwards!
