  1. First model after a 10 years breaks. First time giong costum. here is the w.i.p.: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=66717&page=2#entry857198
  2. Thank you all, I messaged the guy who made the paint. I'm waiting is answer. Meanwhile I will try all your suggestion
  3. I was surfing on this website when I came across this pic. How the hell did he paint the frame to look like this ? Thanks !
  4. Looking good so far. Will be following
  5. Thanks, Yes, you have a good point. Nom i'm trying to figure out a way to do this step. Think I'll try the drybrush technique... what do you think ?
  6. Need to go now. I have to go work on my costum exhaust line. I'll update the topic as soon as I get picture
  7. Finally I took my DSLR out of the closet to provide you better pics ! Here are the last progress. The frame done Frame + Engine almost done Last mock-up before final "glueing" (right term ???) For the front grill, I made a custom one from a piece of aluminium brush plastic at work with a laser engraving system. Here is the design Here is the final result of the grill, but please help me decide, don't know if I go with my custom grill or one of the 2 optional that was with the kit
  8. Little progress on the interior Painted misc parts More progress on the engine
  9. So, after a few days of break, here is an update. Fast mid-progress mock-up I think I won't go the same way it "should be". The interior will be simple but clean. All the mechanical parts and the frame will be clean and rust free. For the chasis, i want a rough look, so it will be rusty. As I worked in a compagny that produce signs, I have the chance to have the hand on a nice paint kit. What I liked is it's waterbase paint, so easy to clean. You have different color in the paint. I choosed the bronze. Once painted, you have the choice for the aging process. I'm gonna use a mix of them. As I wanted a rough look, I applied the paint with a brush insteed of an airbrush. The results is perfect. Here is a pics of the bodyparts paint. (No aging yet) Forgot to show the dent I made on the passanger door and on the bottom of the trunk
  10. I really like the direction you go. Gonna following this for sure !

  12. In the week-end, it's hard to find time with the kids ! I made a little progress. Here we go ! Finished sanding the chasis. It's not perfect but I wanted it this way as it's a ratrod. I wanted a rough look. Started working on the interior And finally, little progress on the engine
