Sweet.... nice build

The body stretch so much when inserting the chassis when the interior is attached on it.... but mine in 12th scale... 

[1/12 1969 Camaro]

[Lindberg 1/16 Stutz Bearcat Build Racer Build]

This is one of my build.... but i am just a regular weekend warrior builder... nothing compare to pros here.....

 

[Lindberg 1/16 Stutz Bearcat Build Racer Build]

Yeah here i am.....

["64 Chevy Not too Low Rider]

I think the easiest way is to drill the body for the tailight to fit....

But if youn want to do it the hard way then you can sand it down to reduce the size then spray it with clear red coat to hide the scratch mark....

Doesn’t your weather go from -20 and blowing to +30 with 99% humidity with a week of spring flooding in between?? 

I will try the Tamiya decanted unless I find a better midnight blue

Seems like weather really effect the paint curing process....

I never experience it since i live on tropical area....

When the weather goes bad.... did the paint not cure?

' May i know what enamel brand you are using? '

Yes.You may.Testor's Enamel.

http://www.hobbylinc.com/cgi-bin/s8.cgi?tag7_i=1099&cat_s=RHD&mfg_s=tes&sort_i=3

The 1/4 ounce bottle. $1.39 and $1.49 ones.

' But what model you are building '

It's a Lindberg.Like this one.

http://www.autoworldstore.com/product_p/lnd72324.htm

They sold out of the Mercedes Racer.

These kits are simple kits.

I picked that because I don't have a lot of time to build model kits.

 

I see.... you are using testor.... 

The most important is not the kit simple or not.... 

But more to self statisfaction..... since we are not build for anyone....

Good luck on your progresss.... hope to see more pic coming......

Still stuck in paint, now starting to think about masking the blue number and spraying the gold,...

Anyway it'll be a bit, I have too many other things to keep me busy,...stupid stupid stupid

Cheers 

Masking the number will be quite a job.....

Amazing build so far..... keep it coming......

[Lindberg 1/16 Stutz Bearcat Build Racer Build]

Old times people using brush to finnish the real car.... since airbrush is not invented yet at that time

But i never try it on scale model.....

Do you mind share with me the trick and  the picture you already paint with brush?

Progress report.

Cut some parts off parts trees.

Did it with Exacto knife. Used little piece of hobby plywood underneath. Perfect!

Picking out a glue next.Testors original or thin solvent glue? Leaning towards testor's because of gaps between parts and that is what I am used to.

BTW Paints are on the way. Enamels instead of acrylics because they cover better.

Just recommended colors. Red, Flat black,Wood,silver and flat brass.

May i know what enamel brand you are using?

From what i experinced.... i choose enamel not by their coverage.... 

But what model you are building..... since its old model car kit... people usually finish real car with enamel .... so it may look real at some point....  corect me if wrong......
