Cool link. Thanks Len!

Thank you very much Peter! I had a lot of fun writing it. I'm working on a few more. Yes, I'm very passionate about it Thanks,

The other side had the same work done to reduce the gap at the top front of the door: Like Bill Geary would say: "Ahhhhhh That looks much better now..." Thanks,

Looking good Efrain! Orange is a great color for that car.....

Now WAIT A MINUTE! 8 hours? I am doing that kit in a similar color scheme as a "QUICK" build as well. It took me only a week to have the body painted but as Einstein said: It's all relative :wink: I would have never thought of those wheels for that car but it looks interesting. As usual your quick jobs come out looking great. I sure hope mine comes out that good. Thanks,

Dale, yours is absolutely spectacular! I hope mine can get close to yours. Here is a bit more progress: Interestingly, the other side is not as bad....... See you next week! Thanks,

I'm not an expert in motorcycles but I think there are 2 ways of doing it: Cutting the top frame tube right behind the fork support tube (vertical) and cut a relief in the bottom tube so the fork can be tilted back and increase the angle. OR, what I did in mine: I did not touch the frame. I did new fork support brackets and the lower one extends a bit more than the top one Keep in mind when you change the angle, the lenght of the fork may need to be adjusted as well to keep the frame level. I hope this helps! More pictures here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3224 Thanks,

Panel lines deepened. Sink marks on hood fixed. First color coat: Cobra Colors Grigio Titanio Metallic over T235 primer. Opened grilles Foiled script Unfortunately I'm going out tomorrow (to Boston) for a few days so I won't be able to continue at least until next week. Thanks,

Thank you all for your nice comments! Glad to see such a good reaction considering that the subject is not exactly the cup of tea of many in this modeling community. Robert: Yes, yellow is a tough color to work with, but automotive lacquer helps a lot. I wouldn't even think of trying it with hobby enamels! Thanks,

Here is the explanation in case the pics sequence is not clear enough. I'm building the Revell C6-R racing Corvette. However, the kit represents the car as it was unveiled back in 2005. I want to replicate the car as I saw it racing in Atlanta back in October 2006. Some body mods are needed. First, the cooling ducts are part of the bodywork, but the kit has them separate. So I cut and blended them in place. Then the spoiler support is different as well as its location. That was also changed. Some more minor bodywork is needed before having it ready for color... Thanks,

A Revell C6-R Corvette story without any written text :wink: :wink:

Hello again: OK: This is the only thing I'll add to it :wink: plus I'll check the parts bin for wheels and tires. "I am NOT buying wheels for it", "I am NOT buying wheels for it", "I am NOT buying wheels for it" And this is something I'm "removing" from it: This is very Very VERY thin and delicate so I have to be very Very VERY careful with the Dremel from the back.

Thanks Len. I had a lot of fun writing that. Actually I think it was Einstein that said "Quick model car building is relative" A quick build for me is anything less than 6 months :wink: Russ: I've seen pics of yours and it looks great!! Thanks,

What to do with a $7 20-parts snap kit? You build it! I got this kit for $7. It has about 20 parts. 30 if you count the wheels, tires and axles. But don't let it fool you. It has potential. Let's see if I can make a quick build out of this....

Cool. It has that 90's look :wink:

Nice color. It goes well with that car.

I'm not into hot rods but this is VERY NICELY DONE. It definitely stands apart from the crowd. The steel surfaces are very convincing. Thanks,

Cool Jeff! It turned out great!

cool cruiser!

Thank you all for your nice comments and PMs and emails. This is now finished and posted in the Under Glass section.... Thanks!

Hello, YAWN!!!! Yes, another boring factory stock modern sports car.... :wink: Fujimi kit. Box stock build with added seatbelts, exhaust heat insulation, oil filter decal, wheel valve stems, cargo net, local license plate and emissions inspection sticker. As a personal touch I added a magazine and a book inside. Cobra Colors Giallo Midas paint (The closest I had to Porsche Speed yellow), custom mix light cocoa (chocolate brown) interior. The underside was painted to simulate having some of the covers off. As a personal touch I added a Road and Track magazine under the cargo net and a book on top of it. More details here: http://www.puertoriconet.com/images/cayman/ Thanks for looking and as always your comments are welcome....

No better way to come back than a Red Corvette! Looking good!!!!!

Cool 612! Nice color choice. Good job! I know how they can fight you as I have done 2 of those :wink:

I can't believe you finished yours before I finished mine! Well, I do believe it Nice way to get back. It looks very good in white. Mine is done. I need to take pics and post them... Thanks,

Thanks Dave! That's what I needed....
