  1. yes , but then i made the fender wells thinner from the inside of the body , i usually ue files and take like a few hours to to that .. thought i'd burry out my dremel and on the last fender it went bad i just went a tad to far and the edge was ruined ... tried to figure out something but then desided it was a loss it went from bad to worse and in the end .. just ruined .. now i'm going to a partially brke down / in restoration nova now i need !! help i took all the time and managed to cut out the whole front fender panel ... i found a pic of a nov a without the front clip , but i cant find a pic of a nova with just the right fender off (or left) and with the inner gards and all in place ... need to make the firewall like the real thing and close the gap on the side and make like visible hinges behind the door so anybody got a picture(s) ??
  2. inbetween birthday celebration and my favorite tv programs i managed to get most off >
  3. very cool .. btw where are you originally from ? since you are messuring in cm ??
  4. thnx guys , well just worked on the shell and tbh the paint comes of in whole flakes .. so atm its not a big deal to get the paint off , body was not even sanded before paint so its supereasy to strip ... almost bare atm
  5. it does look insane doent it .. letterly no chrome or color at all ....and it works
  6. dude , coolness ... i think a wash with black on the rims would make them a tad softer and pop more / create depth ... its so much black and then the rims are sooo chrome all over , could really boost the look
  7. So i bought this kit from a well known dutch seller who mostly by and sells american car kits ...he suddenly advertised with a bunch of > al ready started on < kits ... price was so cheap i ordered two of the started on kits ... this one i the revell nova cop kit .. it arrived and when i opened it found a complete kit , the body was painted badly with dust in the paint and runners ... but painted thin . i started by wet sanding the body to flatten it and see what was on it no primer under the paint , body not sanded lol all the parts where painted in the sprues , so that will take a tad more , no worry's most important part all the chrome and clear parts where sealed in the bags , never opened also included the ss grille and backside and the stock version first dryfitted the front and back , fits well did some research , looked at nova pictures trying to decide on a style ...and desided to cean the body , removed the louvres , side marker , key holes and molded nova on the trunk , whilw doing that with a fine file whole patches of paint came of , so i'm sure i hve this body bare in no time style wise i'm not sure , pro street , pro touring , racy track , could keep it more classis but lower with wide classis wheels ... one picture made me smile .. kind of love this .. not said thats what i'm going to do this also look killer but like said pro street i also on my mind , i tryed some wide tyres .. looks killer
  8. i put a jerrycan in the dio earlyer , it the fujimi can out of the garage tools kit .. it just stuck out ...looked les realistic , so i took it out and redid it , drilled open one hole nd on the other side made a brass pipe and cap , then ome green paint and rust
  9. sigh ... sooo nice !!!!!!! oohhhhh

  16. thnx steve ! i jut added a motorcycle gasstank , waterpump plate , mirrorhouse ...
  17. thnx ! and yes i want to add some bushes , still not found anything that i liked .. i made some with real dead material then didnt like it and cut those andleft the wood sticking out the grass / ground i will try to add some buhes later .. also was thinking about puttinh stuff in the tyres with no rims because you see the not hollow inside and that kind of kills it .. at this point it could be called finished but everytime i come up with a new idea that just adds that little bit more .. its also not like slap a lot of junk on that base .. when i make a new part to add i sit and put it in 20 different locations before i think yes that look good there .. it jut does not work on some spots .. its like i want it to be visually correct , while having no set plan at all lol my next dio in this theme will start with a small barn .. i really want to do a old barn all torn up
  18. very nice , love the atmophere !!
  19. looking good , love the progress , doors look good maybe try to make the raised line around the indentations with small round rods .. oh and about the window question always put windows in after paint .. will work best ....
