  1. Nah its cool Futurabat, i know what your saying, Novadose71 amazing job! looks like you have allot more patience then i do lol W-409, i know the plug boots go inside the rocker cover but i was already having enough trouble with it as it was, i wanted to drill holes to shove the boots into but i couldn't find a small enough drill bit, can also see the distributor sits on an angle which i missed.
  2. Well im not bothered by it that much as im quite pleased with the end result. Edit: Yes i know the tyres need the white letters but i do not have any decals to do so.
  3. Hahahaha, yeah dad and i were discussing how some parts seem to differ in scale, the whole car itself next to all my others i have built seems quite small. And cheers for correcting me on the year model, some of you may know the box actually pictures a 71/72.. Ill get some finished product pics up tonight im just waiting for glue to dry atm. Cheers.
  4. Ohh really, well the decals are all i have negative to say about the kit so far, in my eyes its a prety decent kit, just have to be abit more careful with the decals next time maybe. Cheers for the feedback Futurabat.
  5. Hey guys, started this Polar LIghts kit a lil while ago, had problems with the decals splitting before they were even pulled off the sheet, so some are missing. But ive gotten some clear on the body today and prety happy with how things are going so i thought i would throw some pictures up. Tried wiring my first engine, on this model. Things haven't quite worked out as you can see the hemi is just massive, no space for beginners hands lol, might have been easier to use the 360 also supplied with the kit. Cheers.
  6. Hellaflush looks so stupid. Awsome, awsome set of wheels, wrecked by overstreched tyres and useless camber but its a model so it doesnt matter i guess. Looks tidy though and i like the blue!
  7. Looks sweet mate, do you recall the name of the kit?
  8. These 2 are the favorites out of my model collection.

    Thats alright! I didnt think much of it at first. I frequent many forums but this is the only international one i use. A few times i have been confusing with my lingo, so i apologize! It is quite easy to forget how different our terminology can be lol And cheers everybody for the comments!

    The exhaust tips the rear bar thats almost entirely a different shape to the body the stupid clear hood scoop thing and the silly moon tank. And whatever else is now in the parts box.
  11. Very well done sir. I like it!
  12. Lol ive had a few exhaust "diff dumped" like that. Not ideal if you hate drone. I love this model, everything about it. Very well done sir!

    Lol, i got mixed inspiration from a few places really, seeing the progress on my mates EJ Holden the other day gave me the idea of the roof, most of the car is bare metal yet the roof remains the factory pearl white color. Looks cool i thought. And i originally wanted to do the car primer grey so i figured why not make it look like its still undergoing some panel work as well. As for the interior ive seen a few cars in some of the old mans magazines that have a real "rat" look to them, yet have a sort of subtle custom interior. So that's where the metallic green and pearl white interior come from.

    Built box stock minus some of the homo parts. The idea looked better in my head i think lol. Enjoy.
  15. I feel your pain its rubbish like that that stalls projects and pushes you into starting another. I think i must try doing one of these kits soon, i have not yet tried paint jobs like the ones in this thread.
  16. Unbelievable work i love that lighter shade blue
  17. Mean details on that dash and engine bay. Bitchin!
  18. Getting there, unsure what to do with the chrome trim along the body, so close to done though i cant wait. interior is done and underneath is all fitted just waiting for glue to dry before i do touch ups and grab some pics before final assembly. Ssick!
  19. I need to go get more flat black spray paint but the only day all the shops are open over easter im working lol so this is about all i can get done ATM.
  20. The chopped one looks bitchin, keen to see that one in paint!
  21. lol i havent decided what to do yet lol, i found a bench seat in my parts box but its a rear seat and looks out of proportion, so idk lol. Taking shape, Still have to sand front 1/4 panels and pass door. Flipped through a couple of dads Car Culture Deluxe magazines to get some ideas so that's where the metallic green roof came from. Looks cool.
