Affod

Both kits had alot of issues. The capri couldnt stand the chassimods and broke and the nova was so badly warped that it was beyond help. So i thought I'd make at least one of the two. I've had this vision of a really badass dragrace/streetrace look for the capri ever since I bought it. I've made some progress without taking any pictures because ive had builders block for a while and whenever i post I feel bad at building and stops so hopefully that will not happen now! Here are some iphone pictures with various quality. "http://s1292.photobucket.com/user/freppek/embed/slideshow/"></iframe>

Rollcage in the making.

Considering my previous post about graphics, Im scratching the idea of oob and its becoming a drifting car. Rollcage to be built and due to the simple nature of the kit I had to make some panels for the interior so that it isnt completely hollow pics will come to show what i mean. But the colour scheme could become a mix seeing that picture!

It says newman on the box, im thinking of having some insane graphics on the car like the d1 cars. But ill look at the scheme youre talking about!

Started a build on a car that caught my eye in a hobbyshop. Gonna be straight out of box pretty much but with all add-on skirts and the low suspension set up.

Since I have like zero confidence with my builds after seeing all the skill thats here on the forum and not being sure i ever finish the builds i have pretty much considered myself done with this one, so sorry but no wip pics taken. The theme was ragged truck with efforts spent on rims, my first weathering attempt (failed since I used enamel paint for salt technique and it didnt work for the removal) Anyways after this wall of text comes the pics. Be gentle with me .

Sounds good. Thanks all!

Whats the best way to prepare small parts for paint? Kind of hard to sand or use scotchbrite. Any good tips? Cheers!

Alot of sanding and putty atm.

######! Thats a modified truck.

Love the wrecker! Thoose are near and dear to me.

Thanks a bunch both of you! Its a random engine found in a partsbox. The kit engine had lost to many parts and had so much old glue on so it was like a square box, no details. Thought this looked a little better, gearbox is from the kit though.

With a swoop, down fell the roof. Havent fixed it permanently yet just some mockup for pics. And some rust done and a patchup.

Thanks alot, Ye post away with pics, hard to find good reference pictures on google. All help is accepted.
