I finally figured out how to get some sort of interior into this wedge shaped body. I made a tracing of the frame rails on the floor pan then scribed the floorpan partially through dead center of the frame. Then I glued the floor pan to the body, cut the center portion free and glued it to the frame. Now I can get a minimal interior installed in separate sections…one attached to the body and one attached to the floorpan. It may be a little unorthodox, but I have no idea how else to deal with it.🤯

Congrats. Either two little presents or one big one.🙂

Enough of this waiting around for you to get on with it.

Hours and hours I spend in a conundrum wondering how to fix a minor problem.

I only watch them if I want to see what a particular kit is like. I think the videos are geared towards real beginners. A two hour video showing how to build a true replica might be a turnoff for a neophyte?

It’s coming along nicely!👍 What brand of UV resin did you use for the headlight covers? The stuff I have is yellowish.

Interwebs are at the center of the outerwebs methinks.

Scalpel/surgical blade question
NOBLNG replied to johnyrotten's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
The main thing is to have a new, sharp blade and use a VERY light touch. Exacto blades are fine and I particularly like their z-series blades but they are expensive compared to regular blades or scalpel blades. -
Cars that grow on you as you get older.

I was just thinking about this today…but with regards to music. Songs that I didn’t like in the ‘80s and ‘90s are now sorta like classics.🙄 -
Scalpel/surgical blade question
NOBLNG replied to johnyrotten's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I got these on Amazon. They are #11 blades. I went with a round handle since I figure it will work better for doing sharp curves when foiling. I’ve only used it a couple of times but I like it so far and would recommend getting the round handle. They will fit into a standard exacto knife handle, but don’t go in all the way. -

Sleep or stay up working on models…it’s a tough choice?

That bumper looks like it belongs there!👍😎

Beautifully done! The extra attention to detail is outstanding. 👍😎

Exactly. The thumb gets the cold shoulder…but as soon as there is work to be done that involves more than pecking at the cellphone…he’s the first one they call on.🙄 (sorry Dave, but the mitten pic started it.😳)

Might be easier to build the fujimi kit as a replica and make a wild custom out of the Revell kit? I have a Testors (Fujimi) kit that I have been putting off starting for a while now…so I am interested in what you can do with this one.😎

Just saw this one at Michaels. I have no idea how good it is, but it can be had with a 30% or 40% off coupon…up here at least.🤷♂️
