Stingray69

I started this one about a month ago, some of you may have noticed it on my website. Its a reissue of Revell's Heavy Hugger F/C. Overall the kit is very well detailed but the body lacks accuracy. The roof just isn't accuracte... Looks like the A pillars were laid back or something. Anyway I took the roof from an AMT 70 Camaro and with a little cutting and puttying the body is done. For some reason the engine is a Ford as well, I'll replace that later. I plan on doing minor detailing, nothing wild. Whos F/C it will be is still to be decided. Orginal Body: Modified Body: Quick Mock Up: Primered: Sure beat paying $30 for a resin body! I'll try to keep it updated...

I love the "true fire" look :twisted: Do you use a template of some sort to do it... I have always wanted to give it a shot.

Very nice flame job, the colors are perfect 8)

Well since it looks like you use Fotki... click "Share" under the image and copy the image url. Click on the "Img" button in the post area here.. paste the url in between the tags like this HTH some...

and welcome!

Lookin good so far man! I do agree with you the tires do look rather small. Any color ideas yet?

Hi man and welcome! To post pics you'll need a photo hosting website. I would recommend Photobucket. Its easy to set up and plus its free. -Upload your pics there or where ever you host your pics. -Right click on the image, go to properties, copy the url. -Click the "Img" button in the posting area here. -Paste the url in between the tags like this . If you use photobucket you can just copy the third set of tags under the thumbnail image. It may be tricky at first but becomes second nature.

That thing is so cool man 8) I may have to pick this kit up myself!

Man o man that is a sweet custom! Can't wait to see some paint on her!

I checked out some your builds, cool stuff 8) Those 1:87 models look like a nightmare to work on!

Yet another sweet chopper, great job 8)

Very cool man, nicely done! Did it go together well?

Everytime you update for this build it gets more and more amazing! Well done man 8)

Very cool man! I really like the colors you used 8)

I decided to fool around with this one today a little. I gave it more of an extreme rake by extending the triple trees, a little more works needs to be done at the top of the frame where the trees connect. I am building my own tank out of brass... I really want something different so I have no idea what its going to look like. I know at this point I want to chrome the rear fender... possibly the frame too but I don't want to over do it.

And here it is finished... of course other holes will be drilled later for plumbing. I'll probably paint it with alclad aluminum finish.

Well heres the near completed fuel/oil tank. Thanks to info from a friend of mine who works on real pro mods, I was able to kill two birds with one stone. I was told on newer pro mods they just make one huge tank and split inside. Its pretty much done all I need is a cap setup for the oil, just like the fuel one. I really loaded up on the solder inside the tank to avoid any leaks

:shock: Wow man beautiful diorama! Great skills too!

:shock: Wow! Very clean work so far, especially the paint! Should be sweet when its done!

Very interesting tip, I'm definitely going to try this! Thanks

I love F/C's man! The BMF should make the build pop even more! 8)

Very cool Pantera, nicely done 8)

Like everyone else that is one clean build! Nicely done man 8)

Definitely not my style of car, but the CF and the orange really look good together!
