Beautiful, Niko.

Thanx Doctor! My plan is to get this one finished next week, there's a Model Car Show on Saturday, so that's my plan.

 

I finally got the body polished and it turned out very good. It looks better in person, though. Somehow didn't manage to take any better pictures, but I hope you get the idea. Next I have to remove some wax from it (White in the door lines, grooves etc.). Then it's time to start another "NightMare"- BMF!

Alright, I managed to get this one done for the Model Car Show. Here are the rest WIP Pictures.

 

I Foiled the body, and I really have to say that it was huge job to do, and not very easy either. The End Result is not perfect, but Good Enough for me. Then I installed the rear windows. The windshield fitted nicely, but I had problems with the rear window. But finally I got it installed nicely, and the body looked like this.

 

The body and chassis fitted really nicely together, and after some engine detailing and installing few chrome parts, it was almost done...

 

Here is the End-Result in the Show.

 

I will post pics to Under Glass, I'll add the link in here too.

 

Now starting the Fabulous Hudson Hornet Stock Car!

Looking sweet, Niko!

I just started on this one, a '53 Club Coupe on a stretched Corvette CR-5 chassis-

Thanks Chuck!

 

How many Hudsons you've already built? There are so many that I can't remember.   I mean that it's really nice to see a lot of these nice Hudsons being built, especially with a talented builder like you.

 

BTW: Just in case someone did not see the UnderGlass post already, here's the link on my Hudson: http://www.modelcars...showtopic=70023

Five, with four more on the bench including the one I just posted. Yeah, it's a disease, and I don't wanna be cured!

[Michigan Madman]

Figuring out the engine, and poked some holes in the hood for it to breathe.

 

[Michigan Madman]

Getting somewhere...

Wow Chuck - these colors looking awesome! Cool Hornet.

Like your abonded convertibe also. Perfect weathering!

[Michigan Madman]

Thanks- I'm pleased with how the abandoned convertible came out too.

 

Most of the tedious (foil trim, decals) stuff is done on the yellow '53-

Then there's this one...

[Michigan Madman]

After chopping 6" out of the windshield frame, I thought the body looked just a bit too thick. So... out came three scale inches from the body...

[Michigan Madman]

Think I can get it to sit just an eensy teensy bit lower...?

[Dominik]

crazy Chuck - how many Hornets do you have in your shelf?!? And...how many are ready built?

Amazing...i think that actual Conv comes out reeeeeealy sharp. What means "eensy teensy"? uiuiui....so many questions...

Six finished, one nearly finished, and six more in varios stages. And I've got about as many ideas for more. I think I really like these.

 

"Eensy teensy" is just a cute way of saying "small".

...now i am not wondering, why this fabulous kit is sold out

 

And: thanks for the lesson Chuck! Eensy teensy *lol*

[Michigan Madman]

Well, I have been accused of single-handedly buying enough of them to recoup Moebius' tooling and development expenses. Might be true.
