Daniej01 Posted June 23, 2012 Author Share Posted June 23, 2012 It's a 1:25 scale. To open the doors and trunk, I used an x-acto knife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 Thanks. I have a question. What would be a good mock up glue to use so I can take apart to paint? Thanks to this site I am learning a lot of modding tricks and stuff. I use a tiny dab of crazy glue to temp parts with. I use it all of the time to re attach parts to scrap sprue before I primer and paint them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonFL Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Wow! Some really nice clean work for your first time. I got mine all open and hinged but haven't attempted the door jams yet. Keep it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TooOld Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 You're moving right along on this and your work looks great ! To temporarily assemble parts I use a glue from Micro-Mark called Detail Tack . It's a white glue that when it dries leaves a very sticky surface . Parts can be assembled and taken apart as many times as you want ! Just put a small dab on one piece and it will stick to anything . I even use it on toothpicks to handle small parts , it's easier than tweezers .

TedsModeling Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Coming along nicely. Clean and precise. I can almost feel the bass blasting out of the speakers. Bob - I like the glue 'tip'. I'll pick one up with my next purchase, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadcylinder Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 I am a little scared to do a door/deck mod. I like your hinge setup. Very stable looking., and serves as a good stand off between the shell and trim to build the door frame. Can't wait to see the full finish.

Daniej01 Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Thanks! The speaker box is from another kit. Not sure if I'm going to use them. Maybe cast a copy of them. I have a few more pics to post. I got the body primed and sealed. I use duplicolor primer and sealer. Have had good results it using the sealer. I get a real slick finish using it.

Steven2 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I love the way this is looking. I'm on my first try at cutting doors out myself and I've struggled. You look like you've mastered it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this is the first time I tried hinges. Was a slow going and a lot of trial and error. For me at least. I just used stock tubing and paper clips. There are a few tuts on hinging doors out there.
