  1. Thank you Carl. Steve
  2. Hi Misha, I wanted to post the entire build but I was only allowed to post so many pics over at work in progress, Ill try to post some more of the builds tomorrow over at wip. Take care,and thank you for the kind compliment, Steve
  3. Wow Rex!! Those are beautiful builds. This one is a curbside so not to much details, I think there is an aftermarket engine for the one I just did,but not sure. When I get a chence to build another one, Ill try to get the engine upgrade. Take care, Steve
  4. Hi Bryan, Ive been using that technique for a good 7-8 years. It works really good for seam work on alot of the aircraft I do. The fit on the backside was very nice so I used some Tenax7r to melt and squish the fit. I usually use the same plastic from the build Im workiing with,its just a color thing. There is a new putty filler out there from Sherwin Williams, they use it to fill seams on real commercial jets. I tried to get ahold of them to obtain a sample,but havent had any luck yet, I do know it works on plastics. The name is Fill bond. Always trying new materials.

  5. Hi Rex, is that your car!! Nice. This model is a curbside so nothing really to show for engine details. Those are some very nice pics, I will most certainly use them for the next build. Thank you for sharing Steve
  6. Hi Joe, I went with what the directions called out, but then found out that the color they are submitting maybe a rust, not sure? Steve
  7. Thank you Oscar.
  8. Hi everyone, Here are few pics of my first attemp at building this type of car. There are centainly a few parts that had fit issues,and I dont understand why the instructions call for the rear view mirror to be painted clear orange???. but anyway I had fun learning, hope you like her.

  9. HI everyone, I'm a newbie here so hope Im doing this right. Here is the first step in prep work,getting all the parts cleaned up. DSC00842 by cook7010@sbcglobal.net, on Flickr The next step was to attach the rear section of the car. I used liquid glue to melt it on then sanded and filled with 3m acryl blue and then finished it off.

  16. Thank you midnightprowler. Just came on yesterday Feb14th 2014
  17. Thank you W-409. I had to remove the air intake on the engine to get the body on,and the lower hose you will want to install that first when you install the radiator . Other than those few things that is all I had to confront.
  18. Thank you Mad Viking. I really like this site, it has alot of diversity and the builders here are extremely talented,hope to post more soon. Steve
  19. Thank you Mike. I really enjoy doing the muscle cars. I will most likely never own one but it sure is fun to dream.
  20. Thank you slusher. I really feels good to have a paint that actually works well enough for me. I used Tamiya Red-X7 and polished up with Tamiya polishing compounds. No primers on this one.
