chunkypeanutbutter Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) A community build idea: out of your comfort zone. Muscle builders build ricers.... Stock builders do customs.... Shiny builders do rusty.... One I really like is lefty people build a car painting, cutting, etc. with their right hand and vice versa for righties Edited January 9, 2015 by chunkypeanutbutter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pim Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Sounds like a cool idea I build rat rods so building a shiny show car would take me out of my comfort zone I will have to see what I can find so I'm in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 If I were to use an X-Acto in my left hand, I'd probably lose my right hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow12 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I could build a sweet ricer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunkypeanutbutter Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Sure! I'm going to do the lefty thing when I get something that's more-or-less a throwaway kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pim Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Sweet as soon as I get the kit I bring up some pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 One I really like is lefty people build a car painting, cutting, etc. with their right hand and vice versa for righties Well if you really want to see the most screwed up model in modeling history I could try working with my left hand. But frankly, the darn thing isn't good for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But frankly, the darn thing isn't good for anything. Whatever it is, it'll probably come out better than the best Palmer kit. I'll probably end up getting a snapkit. My LHS has a few Fords and some others. There's a Firebird Ram Air that was marked down to $9 which I was considering getting just for the LS1 engine... Curbside build?

knarf Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 so would non-stock builder doin a box stock build qualify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 so would non-stock builder doin a box stock build qualify? Yeah. That would be a challenge for me, too. Go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 Hmm.......................I do such a variety of stuff that I'm not sure what would be outside my comfort zone. That's not bragging, just an observation. If anyone has the time, maybe look through my album and make a suggestion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share Posted January 9, 2015 Maybe a tuner? I saw all American iron there. Something really awful, like a riced-out Eclipse, or maybe a jacked-up Escalade filled with stereos and scissor doors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webestang Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I've built 99% cars and a few trucks but I have a really neat helicopter kit I found at a flea market, I think it's Russian?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside comfort zone I'm okay with but not outside the realm of good taste. I'll see what I can come up with. Maybe something non-auto.

Pim Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Change my entry to a kenworth I never build trucks so it will be a challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeatMan Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Sounds like a nice idea. I've never done a resin build but I have a couple of resin bodies I've been afraid to tackle. Maybe I'll give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Ill jump in on this. I usually build shiney show trucks, so ill try building a dirty truck. Ive started already, its a tandem build. 2 AMT Diamond Reos. Heres the shiney, still in process Heres the frame, cab and hood of the dirty. Hood stil needs dirtying up Edited January 15, 2015 by Petetrucker07 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chunkypeanutbutter Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Nice beater rig! I still have not found any finance for a kit, but when we next get into town I might find a snapkit to do. And yes, hopefully those packages will be going out then, too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 No worries. Hope i get some more done this weekend. I think it should be a nice weekend, weather wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah well, we've got a winter weather warning that says 8"-12" of snow! I'm not jealous though. I'm not, I'm not. The hell I'm not! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petetrucker07 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 This weekend is another story. It's cold windy and rainy at times. I know nothing compared to other parts of the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
