  1. Nice build.
  2. Builds up real nice.
  3. Cool build. Looking good.
  4. More work on the Nova today. Progress is slow but I'm happy with the results so far. Got the window frames finished. Next will be adding the drip rail / chrome trim along each side of the roof, C pillar and around the back window. While the glue was setting up on the window frames, I decided to drill the heads for spark plugs and assemble the materials needed to make the plugs and distributor boots. The plugs will be a short piece of wire with a dob of white glue applied to represent the porcelain insulators, then a piece of the same wire's black sleeve as a boot, into which will be inserted the red spark lead. Cut and drilled the distributor body to accept the plug leads which will be inserted through the brass ring and glued to the distributor (detail on a tight budget ?).... Oh, and the valve covers have been sanded down in preparation for their photo realistic top plates. Until next time, happy model building!! As always, feedback most welcome. Cheers...... Geoff
  5. At the bench for an hour or so and made a start on the door window and side window frames. Using .5mm x 1.0mm evergreen strip to create the frames. Glue forward edge to B pillar, let it set, then carefully bend into shape and trim length a sliver at a time until it fits firmly against bottom of C pillar. Then run a bead of glue inside and let it set up. This side will need some minor filling along roof joint. Also started reshaping and cutting in the harness holes on the seats.... Mods on right. Cheers...... Geoff
