    Now the dry fit of top to bottom to body and some slight file work to get level And then the glue up
  3. Twokidsnosleep
    So I have chopped the top 2mm all around with an Tamiya tape guide Established a kerf cut with a razor saw at the tape markings separated the bottom portion off, still with its attatchment points to the lower past of the body then cut the upper kerf lines through to separate the top

    My starting points are a ‘30 model A Revell kit that was avaliable for reasonable cost and a 66 Nova pro stock I am hoping to use engine and tires This is my starting point for a somewhat reasonable cost. I may have to do a 3D resin print engine if the Nova isn’t decent.

    I am going to make a start building this. It will be a smash up of a few things from different kits as I don’t have the actual movie car kit from Revell I think it was. So research shows it is a model A body with a Chevy 327 V8 engine inside

    oh those are great! Have only seen the Miss Bud kit before

    Back to the drawing board…err 3D printer. The resin spark plugs I did are way off dimension. These look like more exhaust ports! I will third the scale and try again

    Oh shoot that is a scary thought usually poor English, grammar or ridiculous suggestions are the red flag. The scum could use AI to iron all that out

    So I am re-visiting this project this year. Off and on and made in conjunction with a Tamiya Spitfire Merlin engine Using some resin printed parts to jazz up the Miss Bud a bit…magnetos for example Kit vs 3D printed My modelling time is extremely limited but I am trying
  11. Twokidsnosleep
    For some reason this project popped into my head. I haven’t found one in a search, anybody built one??? I got the Revell kit for it today

    Got some Abteilung oil paints on half price sale from AK Interactive They ship super fast, but as usual get dinged by taxes intoCanada if you haven’t tried, using oils works excellent for simulating a leather interior
  14. Twokidsnosleep
    Yes. Metal frame, but body is plastic unfortunately. This is a late production Pocher so they were doing more plastic parts
  15. Twokidsnosleep
    Another Pocher Classic kit into the stable

    I have more kits than brains or lifetime left to build them all, but this new year I decided to do the opposite of restraining and not buying kits I am going to fill in the missing holes of kits I want in collections so, a couple Tamiya F1 1/20 scale cars are coming….the first and I got the old repop‘d Orange Crate kit to see if I can build it better than a pre teen did way back long ago

  23. Twokidsnosleep
    I was asked by a kind gentleman to post him the instructions. Thought it best to share with all. Pretty simple instructions; five steps plus the beauty shot. Hope that helps

    Aaahhh I am so late to the party here Just loving everything you are doing, especially the in progress work photos with the car on jacks and such…so cool Digging out my kit’s photos…I got a Fujimi 356 from an auction and inside it came with James Dean’s 550 Spyder car body as well Also the larger classy Revell kit

    Looking good, nice and smooth grey primer? Summer has less modelling time, but been priming mountain bike frames for my son in a similar prime. Not used a spray can in ages.
