Jantrix Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Very nice work. It just screams for some suede paint in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albie D Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 This is my kind of build. Totally sick. I bought a few of these kits (one for use with a resin 52 body,to copy my 1:1 car) and after seeing this I wanna start building one now. Love the black steelies, the stance and the chop. Keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainAhab Posted June 21, 2012 Author Share Posted June 21, 2012 Thanks guys! Well, this has been in the box for a little while now. I got some glue on the body while putting the windows in and messed up the paint. I got discouraged and threw it in the box... You'll be glad to know that tonite I finally prepped the body for a repaint! Off the the LHS tommorrow for some paint (Jantrix, suede is sounding tasty..) and hopefully ill get this baby done this time... Joker- I used rustoleum, fills and sands nicely. I dig some plasticote too. That stuff is magic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Any updates? I hope it's not just sitting in a box because it surely was looking good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainAhab Posted July 3, 2012 Author Share Posted July 3, 2012 Hey Steve, no shes not in the box...shes on the bench fully painted waiting for some windows...trying to find the right material to make em Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbk Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Clear PVC works well for "glass". It's not as prone to cracking & hazing at bends like clear styrene is. I've found .007" sheets at Hobby Lobby & .010" sheets at a RC hobby store. http://www.arlenesartistcatalog.com/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=pvc+sheet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
