Lunajammer Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 I like what I'm seeing there Anthony, the rust, the interior.. neat stuff. Bruce, what can I say? Off the hook. All you guys, fun stuff to look at. Here's my summer hiatus update. I finished the body work, window and side trim. Still need to do some surfacing. A chrome spear will finished the front side trim once all is painted. I still check in every day, I'm just lurking a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belugawrx Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Very nice body mods there Mr. Mike. Anthony, I too like where you're going with that pickem up truck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belugawrx Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Hey Anthony, I like the truck,..my vote is for baby moon caps on white steelies Ok , I couldn't get the red to stop seeping through,.. so.. I shot DupliColor gold metallic, through some H/O scale chain link fence onto DupliColor sun fire black base I bet if I hit that with clear right now,.... it would blush...grr And then,.. I started thinking of an accent colour,... and then I watched the Matrix,...again,... So I thinned down some Tamiya X-25 Clear Green 2 :1 to Tamiya X-20A Thinner, and shot it through,...You guessed it ...Iwata NEO , at 18 - 20 psi And shot it 3 times with a 5 minute wait between coats,...it runs if you hurry, or overload it Cheers CannonBallers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 NEO. Heh, I see what you did there. Bruce, I love the interesting twists you keep adding to your build for us mere mortals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disconovaman Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Thanks guys! Giving some thought on the wheels and stance so I painted the wheels I borrowed from the Revell 57 Chevy... I beleive they are 22's. I wanted to see how they looked slammed. I like the look but I kinda wanted the brakes to be seen through the wheels and that isn't an option with these wheels. I'm on the fence... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belugawrx Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 That is a great look, sits just right ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunajammer Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I rather like the moons. I'm not sure an open or slotted wheel to reveal the brakes would fit the overall character as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 I'm with Mike. The wheels plus the patina make this a bit of a sleeper. Discs showing through the wheels would kill the illusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disconovaman Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I'm convinced! Thanks guys... My intention was to distract attention away from it while keeping a cool vibe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

da_ashman Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Hey Guys! Loving the Gulf truck, that's awesome!!!! I've been working pretty hard on getting the interior of my Soviet Silvia done, while it doesn't look like I've done much I've spent the last 2 weeks sanding & adjusting. The Fuju Garage interior set is great but it must've been designed for a Tamiya or Fujimi kit, so quite a few adjustments & lots of "eyeball engineering". Pretty happy with how the main parts are currently sitting so now its time to rebuild the rear seat bucket area without the seat...

Got the molded in engine bottom & exhaust sanded off the chassis, also after soaking in IPA for 2 weeks I managed to get most of the paint off of my old GTR engine bay & engine, that will serve as engine & engine bay for this build. Working on the best way to mate them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Silvia looks awesome. I'm taking the rest of the week off after the fourth, giving me a five day holiday. It is my firm intention on giving the hobby room a thorough cleaning and then FINISH the Willys. Fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted July 9, 2018 Author Share Posted July 9, 2018 Aaaaaaannnnnnnnd done. More pics in the under glass section Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da_ashman Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Great job Rob!!! Looks fantastic! So the Soviet Silvia finally has an engine bay!! Just working on the rear seat delete, this area & under the seats will most likely be covered in "carpet" for comfort & sound deading for the long journeys ahead! Almost ready for paint!!!!

da_ashman Posted July 16, 2018 Share Posted July 16, 2018 & the beast has a heart!!! Great weekend, managed to make heaps of progress, engine bay is pretty much done, front subframe is at correct ride height, engine clears the hood, exhaust tunnel was bored out, intercooler mounted in correct spot with radiator too! Next up is mounting the turbos & exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jantrix Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 I know it's just July, but I'd like everyone to put their thinking caps on and start kicking around ideas for next years Cannonball theme. Make sure it will appeal to a wide audience. The more you narrow a theme, the less interest here is. I now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

RickRollerLT1 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Forgot the last time I entered one of these CBs (may have been on the other site), but since this one here has a perfect theme that's right up my alley i''ll be game. My entry: Parts to be used: Quick mock up: Color will likely be in the gloss red range, but nothing too crazy and plan to make it street legal as possible.
