Restomod '57 Chevy Cameo
NOBLNG replied to Can-Con's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Looking good Steve! Love the updated induction on the 409.? -
Mostly very careful scraping with small tool that I’ve filed to a tiny rounded tip. Then careful sanding, a little putty to fix any gouges and…more sanding. It is a tedious process. Good luck with it.? I also have these curved round files that come in handy for that sort of operation.

I’m liking this!? -
Wow, that is quite the mashup of parts.? It will be interesting to see this come together.

Revell 32 Ford roadster new release done the hard way!
NOBLNG replied to Bullybeef's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Well I love kit bashing, and I love just about anything to do with this era of vehicles. So I will follow along Bil. ? -
I use .020” brass for pins quite often. When using CA to glue them into very shallow holes, like mirrors and door handles, I like to knurl them by rolling them under a fine file. It gives the glue a little more to hang onto.

I have tossed out hundreds of those.?

Nice build!? A sweet looking little street rod that I would be proud to drive!?
-
Thanks. If I had some that would make sense, but I don’t have any and I don’t want to go and buy some if it won’t stand up to a light rubbing with lacquer thinner.

Is this even possible with a lacquer or enamel paint job? I understand that the gold color is very thin and won’t stand up to much burnishing. But can the gold stand up to ANY contact with lacquer thinner?

That thing is just…Zany!? Great job on the leather upholstery!?

I put my old Willys truck in the garage to clean it up a bit (it’s been parked near the bush for the last couple of years). This big guy was living on it somewhere, along with at least three slightly smaller ones. I took him inside to show the wife…then gave him a merciful ending.

NOBLNG replied to Zippi's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Engine looks great Bob. I like the colors on the truck too.? -
This is shaping up nicely David!? The interior looks great, the paint and decals look great. The whole thing looks SUPER!?

Missing part: How can I replace it?
NOBLNG replied to conchan's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
The boot would be the hardest part. Maybe crinkle up a piece of tin foil? Or tissue and a bit of CA to stiffen it up? -
Thanks everyone! This kit is certainly a test of ones sanity!? I have to take a break from it sometimes or I will lose mine. I am currently having hood fitment issues. I sanded the edges earlier to get proper clearances, but now I see the hood is too flat at the cowl, and the hinges (which are very soon to be broken I’m certain) only allow the hood to open about 40 degrees.? So I figured I would drill a small divot for a prop rod in the hood…and went right through.? So I will refinish the hood and update in a bit.?

Nice work on the interior so far. I like the blue color for the body too.?

I got the back half of the exhaust roughed in and I think I can use the kit suspension pieces now. I wanted a 3” (.125”) exhaust, but a 2-1/2” (.100”) exhaust is tough enough to snake around the suspension components.?
