NZanglia Posted April 2, 2021 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Nope its the body that came with the kit. I just cut out some mustang-ish tail light holes in the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#1 model citizen Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 I haven’t seen any updates on the next round but if its a body count you need I will go another round. Not sure what yet as nice weather may limit my model time🙂. Most likely the ’56 Chrysler from the dreaded crypt of the 1:32. I will definitely decide soon.

My bad--copy and paste from last round, forgot to changed the date. It's fixed now. Thanks for catching that. 29 minutes ago, #1 model citizen said: Snake, I don't see your name on the list or don't you count you? Or you aren't participating this round? Traditionally, we start with eight others, and then I come in as Number Nine, although the last two rounds I didn't get around to declaring until the last week or two. Soon as we have eight in, I'll declare, because I think I know what I want to do this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimJ Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) Great work on the Corvette's interior, I like the fabric headlining too. As mentioned above my entry for this round is this Tamiya Ferrari Testarossa. I bought it back in 1993 and started it soon after. The build stalled when I got to the body as back then I wasn't too confident of my ability to get a decent paint finish from a spray can plus I lost the mounting panel for the tail lights. I'm sure I can cobble together a replacement from styrene sheet.

Thank you, I used rust-oleum dark cherry with matte clear then rubbed the seats with a little bit of canola oil after they dried for a few days, the biggest problem I had from that was trying to get the BMF to stick to the trim, I figure next time I'll do that part before the oil lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZanglia Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 yeah, sometimes my build go south and i feel like covering them in kitty litter too. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZanglia Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 Chassis painted in a dark metallic grey and the sheet metal and tub as well. Suspension next up.
