WOAH! At the same time that looks Horrible - it also looks awesome. I wanna see this! The interior is gonna be SICK!

Clean, simple and cool. Perfect hot rod right there.

Seeing as you have an airbrush - use it. But you can get a good result I've found from a few good can coats - being so small you can't really leave transparent spots unless you're trying... lol Can't wait for pics - '70 Challenger is one of my Dream cars. :-)

What kit brand and model is this? Looks like a '34 Deuce... Looking good already, gonna have some phat rubber and a big donk I hope!

How about brown or bronze with white racing stripes with either chrome or gloss black rims? Y'know - match Coyote's colours? (his own cartoon image as it were..)

No cage - but 10 second passes? Doesn't ANDRA state you gotta have a Cage for runs below 10.99?

Thanks Dominik, It's actually Matte Black mate. :-) Pics and lighting gives it a sheen. And Phil, yeah, thanks mate. :-) But this was the first model I built 100% completely, and it was Inspired by Both Blade and Dom's Chargers. Gonna be adding some engine bay custom goodies to my Mustang, so it should look 100 times better than this - hopefully. :-D

I can just picture the rake this is gonna have, and how cartoony it'll look. Going for a Candy or Pearl paint to add to the Cartoon look?

The '66 Mustang Chassis might fit - you'd need to modify it, but it'd be close judging by the look of it.

That's pretty cool. I love seeing Curbside models that get made into full detail models - the crafting skill is quite amazing. :-)

More piccies. Interior now, it's Semi Gloss black for all the leather/vinyl. It has Metal grey trim in the sides as well as the bucket seats - but it doesn't stand out enough in photos. The Bucket seats are R34 GTR seats, Matte Black to simulate Fabric. My gauges - Shelby spec. Disc brakes. R34 wheels. Whatcha's think? The donk - thinking about wiring it up - I'd like to give it a shot. So we'll see.

So - I've previously built a '68 Charger, and just finished a '89 R32 GTR Skyline. So I figured I'd go a little more custom than just paint... Anyway - here: Shelby GT 350 Motor. R34 GTR Skyline wheels painted black. Dumped. Disc brakes front and rear. Shaved body. Modern Bucket seats in the classic interior - made slightly modern by colouring. That's it so far - now progress pics: After laying paint on the body. Shaved the locks, handles, etc. Shelby hood and grille. Pretty much how the R34 wheels sit on the Mustang - now they're gloss black with disc brakes behind them. No steering detail due to the fact I had to cut up the front end to get it this low. So she's engine bay, exterior and interior detail only. Worth it though - she's one of my Dream cars - and I'm building her how I'd like her to look. (yes.. the '34 GTR wheels I want on a Mustang..) More pics to come.

So - a while back - last year - December-ish I bought the Revell 1968 Dodge Charger 1/24th plastic kit. Now - this is the first model car I've actually finished - and put time and effort into. (2 months of afternoon work every day kinda effort.) But I'm happy to accept criticism where it is due. :-) It has a full interior, and as much underside detail as I could manage. I basically half bashed the kit - it had 3 options, Street, Race and Drag. Took the 426 Cube Hemi drag motor, dropped that in, with the stock rear suspension, the put in the street race roll-cage with extinguisher, and street interior bar the back seat. I like the tough look it has, being lower than a drag car, but being slightly higher than a street car thanks to the big rear tyres. All the locks and body markings were shaved, and so was the fuel cap, the only badges that remain are the Charger and R/T badges on the grille - which are painted. Piccies: I have since adjusted the window trim, so now it's all clean and shinier. :-D Everything is painted, all the little buttons on the radio and the handles on the glove box, ash tray, etc. You can see the fire extinguisher on the cross support on the roll bar here too. Shaved bum - unfortunately you can see how the filler cap hole left an indent - I didn't have the tools and resources I do now to have done it right those few months back. Hell - I'm still screwing up with the bog, but I'm getting there. RACE MOTOR! The hood sits like that permanently - A: Because it doesn't close because it's the street hood, not the drag hood with the scoop. And B: Because I like seeing my first half decent engine bay. I promise to get more advanced, such as custom little washer bottles, fluid resevoirs, etc - I have some styrene card, so I will be doing a few more muscle cars with "billet" styled engine bays. Painted grille, badge wasn't shot well... Will get around to taking more pics when I can be bothered to make an actual light box. Cheese cutters on the front - lol. That hole on the pictures left? I don't remember what went there, I do know however that I lost it AGES ago - so no complaints please, haha. It's blurry, but you can see each bolt in the front end has been painted metal silver so they stand out instead of just being black and blending in. Underside rear detail. I didn't paint the insides of the wheels. :-S No exhaust tips because I didn't like the look of them sticking out below the bum. Front underside detail. The wheels do pivot from left to right, but the steering wheel doesn't move - so I just glued them in place. Again - wheel inner sides aren't painted. So the Almighty drum brakes are still white - lol. (White hot.. and the car is still moving..) More interior detail. Hope you guys like it - I'm currently working on a '66 Shelby Mustang - again making it custom, but a '66 non shelby for some extra parts. And I just completed an R32 GTR Skyline. And.. when I get a new job - I'll buy some more - and keep building. :-)

Model - the ground looks too big to me... All that detail in the ground shouldn't be visible for a real car.
