Who doesn't love a mock-up? Let's see yours!
Chromecop replied to Belairconvertable's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Here's what's on my bench at the moment. Taking part in a VW buildoff with showdate july 2nd this year! Imai kit with some minor mods, 18" Lemmertz wheels, paint will be stock 1973 VW moss green metallic. Lotsa "wood-work" to the interior.... -
Very nice save, well done !

What kind of clear coat does not turn yellow?
Chromecop replied to RT6PK's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
2-part polyurethan based clear will not turn yellow over the years, nor will acrylic clear. Any enamel clear will turn yellow. It's all about chemistry, not product brand. -

Cool build I like the fact that you "americanized it" with sidemarkers, looks really great! -
Thanks for the pics of your very nice build! They'll be helpful to me when I start restoring my old , incomplete SMP 1911 Chevy

Well, I'll omit all the "motorization-stuff" and put plastic card in a lot of holes in the chassie-pan. But, I will NOT open up the engine lid and I'm not going toi build a better engine. I just took off all that chrome on the engine dummy before I glued it in place. So, this will be a curbside with some extra detailing to the interior (modern stereo) and custom steering wheel.

There's VW build-off going on here in Sweden right now. All attenders build a VW type 1 Bug but can chose which kit they like, even in other scales than 1/24-25. I'm doing 2..... One Showrod and one almost stock , that's the Imai 1/24 scale VW 1303 LS Convertible. This model got it's ID/VIN from a 1973 Sumatra Green VW seen in a swedish TV-series in the late 90's. But, I'll change the color to L95C Moss green metallic and replace the stock 15" Lemmertz-wheels with specially-ordered 18x8" Lemmertz-wheels. It'll also get some small mods to the front Bumpers, get fender-mounted turn-signals and twin pipes on the right side of the muffler. Perhaps I'll give it a nice custom steering-wheel as well.... not sure yet.

Thanks, yeah it was a real blast to build. I went to bed every night for 4 weeks with a big smile in my face! Yep, It was finished a week ahead of "showtime" ! I believe I put about 100 hours total in this build and a LOT of scratchbuilding was done. Loads of plastic card, Evergreens profiles and stretched sprue used, along with 2 PEZ-dispensers. Unknown source for the chassie as I needed the stock one for something else Interior bucket from AMT 1959 Camino w stock Belvedere dash. The saw and axe in the coffin compartment are 100% scratchbuilt . The trunk "Plymouth-emblem" was cut off and repositioned below the new rear lid.
