How much were they asking for this? Looks like one good bump off road and that aftermarket hardtop and 25 pounds of bondo holding the body together would come flying off! That would make a perfect hunting truck.

Wet sanding is typically done after the color coats have been applied. The process of wet sanding is to even out the color, remove any minor imperfections and prepare it for a nice smooth coat of clear. Wet sanding is done lightly so as to not rub thru the color coat and by using water, reduces the friction and heat buildup as well as material buildup in the sandpaper. Wet sanding usually is done with very fine grits of paper-2000 and above while regular(dry)sanding can start with 320. Regular(dry) sanding is usually done as prep for primer, removing mold lines, and smoothing out any filler that may have been used on the model. It is a trial and error process, just take your time and don't be afraid to ask questions. None of us were born with the skill, we all had to learn somehow!

Looks to be a great start to a nice kit, nice paint and details. Can't wait to see it done!

coming along nicely, great details and definitely unique with that engine! any ideas of what color you are going to paint it?

You might be able to find it at some hobby shops but the only sure way to get the mag is like Harry suggested...subscribe.

I can't comment because I still haven't received the latest issue. Hopefully it gets here before I head out of town but I have my doubts.

Nice job on that truck, looks like it is weathered properly and ready for winter!

A co-worker bought a '67 Nickey Camaro back in 1981 for $3,500. It was all original except for the Dana 60 rearend with 5:17 gears. Swapped it out for a 12 bolt with 4:10's and went cruising. Nothing like nailing the gas while in second gear and snapping your neck! I can only imagine what that car is worth today. I had heard that Nickey was building new Camaros so not surprised to see so many in the pictures. Hopefully they are like the ones built in the '60s, fun and fast! Thanks again for the info on the show. I only wished I still lived in the area as I would have been at the show.

very nice build, excellent details on the scratch built interior! Thanks for sharing.

somebody wuz up reeeeeaaaaal early today! I voted real but could be wrong, I guess I will wait until Turkey Hangover Day to find out!

Thanks for the pictures, wish I could have been there! Seems like the new Camaro was well represented and some nice muscle cars too.

Nice job Scott, clean build and nice touches! I saw it in the display case last week at KC's and it definitely caught my eye.

I just googled "vcg resin" and the website came up.

Black is a tough color to look nice but it seems like you might have down Nick! Show us the finished model!

So I was poking around on the VCG Resin website earlier today and found some items I want. I did not see an order form or contact information for the website, so how does one order from them? The products look nice and I know Craig is a builder and member here, any one care to share their experiences? Thanks in advance and if Craig sees this, feel free to contact me.

: Read his signature line....I think you meant Dog!

Stunning! Nicely detailed and well executed. Can't wait to see it done and some pictures in the sunlight, I am sure that color will pop then! You have given me some ideas for my '62 kit!

Those look fantastic and nicely detailed! When I saw the WIP, I thought the paint was rough but you smoothed them out perfectly and they shine. I have built about 5 of these snap kits and I think they come out just as nice as the glue kits. Any chance you are going to take them to the Chevy show/model car contest in Rosemont this weekend?

Not sure what your car looks like but Bandit Resins and MCW also offer a resin kit of those years Chevy IIs.

You just gave away one of Harry's upcoming "Real or Model" pictures! I am going to save this photo so I can win that week.

As P.T. Barnum used to say...."There is a sucker born every minute". The only way that will sell for $1,100 is if someone will pay it. I can't imagine in this economy that someone will find the listing worth the asking price, especially with Christmas less than 6 weeks away.

They will probably have a bigger sale next week after Thanksgiving, maybe 40 or 50% off. Still waiting for a few of the newer releases to hit their shelves.

a lot of nice models there, thansk for sharing. Wish I could have gone but had to get a few things done at home this weekend. Just like the Chicago Cubs, there is always next year!

that is one nice build, you sure you are only 13? thanks for sharing and welcome to the forum, keep them coming!

WOW! nice color combo and verrrrry clean.
