doorsovdoon Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 My son recently finished this '57 Christine Fury. He wanted to do his own thing with it, so he painted it blue and added the continental kit from my spares tin that came with the '62 Buick Electra I recently built but never used. He did have a hard time with the suspension, parts got broken and repaired with copious amounts of glue! so I came to the rescue there, but what you see is basically all his doing.

doorsovdoon Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Cheers, guys. He seems to have caught the kit building bug, maybe he can create his own account here then instead of me posting for him, but it's still early days. He might just have these kits in him and give it up, like I did at his age, but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Beautiful looking build of a subject not seen much anymore. Would seem that he has picked up on your style of building, very clean looking example here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doorsovdoon Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 Yes, he likes to use the Molotow pen and black-wash a lot since discovering them, haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 Very nice, he's certainly not afraid of something with lots of brightwork! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doorsovdoon Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 He did say when he opened the box, "wow, that's a lot of parts" Lol, A lot of the chrome has been touched up with Molotow pen due to glue fingers. On top of the suspension parts breaking, one of the headlight lenses had to be replaced as it melted when he used cement instead of canopy glue Lol, and the wheels are locked solid but he's not fazed at all. Certainly more patients than I have, it would have ended up in the bin if I had those issues! xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam I Am Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Great job, and I love how the continental kit looks on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Nice work on that one. The continental kit looks right at home and the color is perfect for this car. Great job! What's next? Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doorsovdoon Posted August 28, 2020 Author Share Posted August 28, 2020 Yes, It does look good! I didn't even suggest it, he just had a nose through my spares tin and wanted to put it on. What he wants to do next is his own custom using parts from my spares tin. He wants to create, is the vibe I got from him, haha! I recommended he build a few more basic kits first, but if he wants to jump straight into the deep end then I wont stop him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
