kinda box stock for the most part well at least no detailing, sad I know. First up I have the Schmacher woder wagon, started off with the JJ vega reissue, this one had a lot more flash than the last one , but I sure am glad to see these available again. So I had to add/make the louvers for the rear window so made a masking tape template from another kit, a hood bulge which I made from a plastic teaspoon ( a little big) but not too bad I think, and removed the front bumpers. Also using 1320 Waynes tutorial I've lowered the ride height a bit.





next up with not much to see yet is the RRRRRRevellution Demon, spent a bit of time yesterday afternoon trying to mix up a paint close to the decal blue

[brett]

thanks guys, gave it a quick wetsand to get rid of the slight orange peel and a re coat. Here it is four hrs later without being touched. No clear yet




chassis is done just have to install inner body braces, just gonna give the paint a bit of time to harden

[brett]

the demon


a little bleed thru on this side and a major white repair on the other as the paint peeled off from the primer but at least in an easy enough spot to fix. Will work more on this one while the paint hardens on the vega

[brett]

Thanks all got a bit done on both yesterday


got the decaling started, what fun NOT. They are designed for the comp resins body not a hodgy Revell one but it looks ok so far I think

[vintagedragfan]

very cool Brett, allways loved the old wonder wagons!

[W-409]

Looks Good! You do always great work and I like following your builds. Especially I like the Vega so far. Decals fit very nicely and paint job turned out nice over all. Can't wait to see more.

[GoatGuy]

They look really good Brett. I love funny cars.

I know I'm late sayin' this,wish I coulda been online sooner to mention this before you decaled the Vega Brett, but when I was looking at the pics, something just didn't look right, I went home & checked out a issue of Popular Hot Rodding from Dec. 1973, it had coverage of the U.S. Nationals when the car debuted, the hood scoop (including the normal Vega hood bulge),the roof (including the A pillars & a little part of the front cowl right in front of the windshield) & a stripe on the trunk area should have painted white. Sorry to mention it so late, but just recently got set-up on a computer again (at the local library, where I've been putting in applications). Anyway, the Vega still looks great Brett, the yellow turned out real nice, the Demon is looking good also!

[brett]

Yeah I know Richard Dont know how I over looked that so They've been striped off and its painted white and will be ordering some more decals in the next few days,

[vintagedragfan]

sweet Brett!

[Dragracer]

Wish I coulda got hold of you sooner guy on the vega, got a resin body of the Wonderwagon Vega (don't remember who made it), waiting to get built, it came with the blue side stripes & I have to use the Slixx decals from the Wonderwagon Panel Vans/Cuda, The Revellution Demon is comin' out lookin' great!
