This was my second model I started after good 9 year hiatus due to school/work. I started it mid 2013 and is now nearing completion. Here are some of my build pictures leading up to the current status.

Looking good!

Thanks, and yes once the chrome was stripped it made a huge difference.

I finally finished the rendering of how my Charger will look when finished, enjoy!

Thanks!

Looking good!

Excellent work!

Thanks for the comments! I should have spent more time to get that engine cover to fit, but to be honest I just wanted to get it off the desk to make way for new projects. I should have tried to black out the glass like on the real car, on the next projects I will for sure. It would be very cool if you did the silver version, please post it if you do,Cheers! Thanks I appreciate it!

Thanks!

Such a great design, looking forward to more pics!

Thanks guys I appreciate it!

Thanks!

Thanks, and yes it is a Revell kit from the late 80's I believe, I've attached a picture of the box.

Hi guys! My name is Jason and I'm new to the forum. I'd like to share some pictures of my recently finished Corvette Indy Concept, enjoy!

This is where I am at currently, I installed the Hemi yesterday as wheel as attached the finished wheels and tires to the chassis. I will also start now correcting body lines. The rear fender on the drivers side has a nice kink in it right at the base of the C-Post where the 2 parts of the mold met. My plan is to clean up as many lines as I can without doing too much body work. Since this isn't the most detailed model to begin with I'm hoping to get this off the desk to make way for some other projects.

Hi all! I am new to the forum and would like to share pictures of my Dodge Charger model which I'm currently building: I picked this up from a yard sale last year for maybe $5. The model quality is quite bad, so I figured I'd do something custom and not build it as the General Lee. The chrome on this model was terrible, I stripped everything for re-chroming with Alclad. The engine was primed and sprayed using Zero Paints Orange. The valve covers which came chrome were stripped and painted matte black. The wheels and roll cage were painted in Zero Paints Gold. The wheels actually had great detail after stripping off the old thick chrome. Detailing the wheels. After spraying the stripped parts with Alclad you can really see a difference in quality. Stripping the chrome basically saved this model from looking like a cheap kids toy. Detailed the engine with some spark plug wires which was a first for me. Also created my own pulleys and fan belt using black tape. For the interior I wanted to do something stock so I went with a blue interior. I sprayed Zero Paints light blue metallic over black so that it will be a couple shades darker then the exterior which will be done over white primer. I added a touch of red to the tachometer for something different.
