Koellefornia Kid Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I think I found my way to build a custom front for my Monaco. Just a little bit fine tuning and we will be there: thanks for all the tips and suggestions, guys! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 Finally got the body painted and test fit the engine, which still needs to be completed. I figured that low key and incognito were for the slow... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunajammer Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Nice work Joel, congrats on the success of your black. There should be a song call Black Pontiac. Don't forget to post it to the finished builds thread at the end of the year, (and wear a hat 😄.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Totally different ball game for me this year. I haven't done any model building for 2 months now. But good news for me, found Texas 3D Customs does requests, and he created the body of the 1958 Mercedes Benz 180, which is very close to the '61 190. Just need to create an interior and a bunch of other things, which will take more time than I have for this contest. So I am still going to do the 190SL, the Honda S2000 engine will be a nice upgrade. Does anyone to custom photo-etch? The radiator star is a must do, and the 190 badge. Think I have photo-etch mesh that would improve the grill. Just for fun..... I might start on the 190SL this weekend, need to make a wood box jig for gluing the body together. Some parts will be saved for the sedan, such as the steering wheel. Side note, found pictures I took several years ago in Utah, of a sad sight. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really like the 190, good looking car, but the features of the resin body all seem a bit "chubby". Like it was meant to be a 1/32 scale and was just scaled up. I am sure that you will make it into one great looking car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
