Started on a 69 Nova SS (Revell Special Edition) this evening. My son has one 1/2 built and I'm going to catch up to him, then we'll finish together. I have never built a car kit before. This could be interesting...
Basic assembly, cleanup so far.

Welcome to The Addiction!
I haven't worked 0n Anything else in several years, except Model Cars and My !/32 Scale Track and Cars. The Track was destroyed By A House Fire, so now it is Just Scale Model Cars.

Hi Scott! A father-son project is always great. I'm surprised you have time to build models these days-- don't you have an empire to run?

I gotta quit for the night before I loose my mind. I have a new appreciation for all those that wire 1/25 engines. Nuts. Here's where I got today. I first made some wire boots (I think they're boots) then I tackled the actual wiring.
Still lots to do build wise and then some subtle weathering on this. Funny how the digital pics are so...true. I see CA and a seam that my eye didn't see. It could be because they are crossed.
Until tomorrow.

you'll know the difference once you try to eat the glue
great progress on the mill
you mentioned you never build a car kit before, what have you dabbled in, tanks?

LOL. Yeah I don't care to eat anymore glue.
Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah, this is my first 1/25 car build. As for dabbling...mostly sci-fi but I've tried armor, aircraft too. Here's a couple from the spring:
1/11 - AMT Speeder. Posed the scout.
1/72
This is 1/25/ Bash and scratch. DIY decals.
Now this one, well technically it's a 'car' I guess. 1/35 though, curbside. Scratch roof rack, back rack, brush bumper. Opened the doors. DIY wall..etc...
Anyhow..that's all stuff from 2012 - thanks for watching.
I don't mean to sidetrack with non-car stuff. I'm here for the cars man. Big time.
