#1 model citizen Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Got the paint after having to have the pink redone. The 1st batch they sent wasn’t even pink but they quickly replaced it with the correct color. Also picked up some Duplicolor primer just to be sure I have a good barrier for the heavy duty thinner the paint requires. (I don’t know if the Tamiya primer would work) Got most of the leaks plugged in my air compressor. Been working on smoothing out the front bumper before the Alclad chrome and body has been prepped for primer. And check out the engine detail! 😁 These folks came with the model and had been misplaced. Check out the herring bone pattern on the seat.

Straightliner59 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Been sorting this out: Finding tires, making wheels, reworking parts of the chassis, gathering bits and pieces...a bit of progress! I've determined it to be predominantly red, because I don't have a red car, yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started this when it first came out, trying to make it look like something Chip Foose would ddo if he built one of these. Body was lowered on chassis and body was painted with MCW Panther Pink. Rims & Tires are from Fujimi. Finished the PT Cruiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straightliner59 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I have the front suspension almost completely sorted out and built. Still need to do the brakes. Here's the front end on the wheels. The rear is mocked to the correct ride height. I'm likin' it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZanglia Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Oooops. Forgot to post my update photos of bumblebee. First time in Decades that I had to use Humbrols Maskol to masks off the metallic parts of the hands to spray the yellow for the middle sections of the fingers.

ksnow Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 After 4 weeks on the road for work, I finally got back to the model bench. Got the first mockup done. The paint crackled a bit on the passenger side, will have to repaint that side. I am planning on painting the chin spoiler flat black. Not sure if I will add bumpers of any sort. The stock bumpers from the kit are absolutely horrible. The nerf bumpers need a ton of work to fit right also, but at least they would look halfway decent.

ksnow Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I am really hoping to get mine buttoned up. I have to repaint the body, too much orange peel for me to accept. And another road trip popped up for me, so I may run out of time. With luck I'll get the body painted tomorrow, then its just final assembly.

I suppose it's time to admit that this one will have to spill over into the next round. I've had to extend every one, but, this thread has really helped me stay focused on a project. This will be my fourth completed project, thanks to this thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 I just finished the body polish-out on my '70 Vette. Now all I have to do is paint the interior, and then detail the body, wheels, grille, taillights.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) No pix because I’m at my daughter’s today. My Studebaker Gullwing is coming along. Chassis is sitting on the bench with all four wheels mounted. Of course one axle mount broke.. twice, and I had to do some corrective surgery. I believe all body parts are in final primer. Every time I thought so, I’d find more little things to fix. At this point, I don’t think it will get any better! I gave the underside of the hood first coat of red to test out the paint. There are still fit issues from it being my first major kit bash nearly 25 years ago, but we’re just gonna rock with it. Edited June 26, 2021 by Tom Geiger Did I tell ya I hate spellcheck?
