  1. nice kit !
  2. looks stunning !! great job !
  3. haha you are right .. but that said i didnt mind looking back at this beauty !! such a detailed build , his small details are always amazing ... like the inside of the trunk battery clamps / cables / bags and lines all look scary real
  4. sure ! hang in there .. you can pull this off , just needs time and effort and well the engine(s) are a very important part of the build loving every step of this build !!
  5. yes thats the plan , better or trying and being safe then sorry
  6. body is pretty straight and smooth now .. also the deeper pannellines look great .... the custom rear now is perfect the corners where the rear bumper sits against the body are now smooth ... the whole line over the width separating the bumper and spoilerlip is crisp .. its not stock and a thing i came up with , cnt find anything like that exactly but i love the look , imo it makes the whole rear more exiting
  7. thnx guys !! what about painting it with tamiya ts-92 orange metallic ? and then do the black trunk stripe under clear coat ? maybe that color combo would be perfect ? i do have flat orange , the same paint brabd as the primer ....i could paint it in orange now but then flat orange ....but i think the tamiya metallic orange would really make it pop .. i never used tamiya i heard its sprays great ... only thing i dont know is how tamiya reacts on a non tamiya primer .. i must say the primer i use can handle all sorts of paints without reacting , but you never know ... so any experience in tamiya paint is welcome
  8. tsssss man another masterpiece .. i think this must be one of the most detailed builds i ever saw ... will end up being a real mini version of the original ... the only step up from here is working mechanics / engine ... man just loving this build !!
  9. awsome .. and yes i know what you mean i always let the car buid itself , let the parts i use or fabricate dictate the style and look .. going to look stunning !
  10. yes nice !!!
  11. gave the body and front a last sand this morning , degreased and put some primer on , looks good in one solid tone and color , the brass moldings came out great ! now for the first time the rear design shows , i smoothened the rear bumper without corners and sitting recessed in there , also went custom on the small spoiler shape on the trunk and made a pannelline over the whole width of the car making it look like a small spoiler mounted onto the rear , this will also look great with the stripe over the trunk .. front looks great but where i put in time on making the front fenders and hood one piece on the earea next to the scoop the front section still needs work , weird without primer that eara looked fine now its obvious that needs work to really make it one piece and flat ..bit of smoothing and a coat of primer will fix that
  12. stunning build and awsome end result !
  13. just stunning !!!
  14. nice start !! really makes me want to do a nother one of these myself
  15. yes looks great , the patina and subtile white edge weathering really makes it all pop , really nice !
  16. dryfitting means fitting the parts before glue and before paint , making sure tey fot together , often you need to sand some stuff first to make it fit right , sometimes it just fits horrible .. then you first make it fit and testfit and sand and testfit untill you are sure it will fit on final assembly .. also take in consideration the thickness of primer and paint ... now going from the pictures you def. need to try and take out the grille and bumper and they need to be put in much higher , they need to sit inside the room between the front fenders way higher , the sides of the front bumper will fall in front os the recesses in the fenders .. why the hood dont closes i dont know could be the hinges or something of the engine being too high ? dryfitting ? lets say you have the sanded body and hood , then you should have put the hood on , make sure it sits flush and also sand along the front lines so its levels with the fenders , always assume a kit wont fit perfect , some revell kits like the 32 fords are pretty well fitting but almost always you need to shave of a mm here and there
  17. ooooooooeeeehhhh thats sweet !!!!!!!!!
  18. stop making me soooo jealous hahahaha
  19. awsome job on all the details , those brakelines ..man those look killer !! love it !! great job hiding the electrics !! pure eyecandy this one
  20. cool stuff !!
