Thats a nice truck! Love those trucks and asa monster truck they are even better!

Looks good as usual! Great work with al of it!

Thanks Bob!

Thanks David! That is so true, and that it’s more or less the reason why this one stalled I guess. It was no fun when with the tint and it became a hurdle. Well I have a plan for sorting the side windows now. Just need to get bench time to get it done. But tonight is 1:1 jeep time, need to Finnish my conversion to steel springs with the parts coming in today so I can have the car back. Thanks man! Thank you, I went to great lengths to get it that low with those huge tires and it really came out as I wanted it to! thank you sir! Thank you! Will try that tip!

Thanks David! I also printed some counters and m18 tools as well as an engine to put on the stand

Got some serious work done to the Impala SS today. And I am actually not that far away of finishing it!

Thanks for the encouragement! Will try! did some progress at least, got most of the interior done. Cage is glued as well as seats and belts. I also started gluing the window and noticed I had made a mistake when cutting of the side window and cut them to close to the quarter windows. So I need to do some magic there.. but that’s for tomorrow. I did also remove the tint on Al side windows and even cut the side windows if as mentioned since they had a hideous thickness to them that caused an optic diversion. So I will replace them with clear plastic sheet. I let pictures speak.

Thanks. I think I pushed to hard so I cut the paint… don’t know what to do.. might just take a small brush with black paint and give it a once over.

Managed to put some BMF on the window trim. First time working with it and it went ok.

Printed new car emblem posters and made some new signs for my shop.

I will start puttin it on the window trim, not sure i want to do the emblem in the back though. high probobility to damage the paint i belive.. I have don close to no BMF yet.

Thanks! Yes those are also super cool, actualy better looking than the C5R but i have not gotten around to C6R Yet

After some comments here on the board i decided to bring this one in the shop again. So was messing about with the new Garage backdropp and got to re familirize with the build:) and i decided to try to ad chrome with Bare metal foil instead of spraying Revell chrome. will see how that goes to night. Hers one of the pics.

Looks good! Like your garage door wen you took the effort to make it in profiles and not just a photo as I have

I took a picture of the setup

I Did some mods to make it look more real when taking photos, I made a piece of roof to give some shadow next to the wall and I did also make a roof beam just as a prop.

Thanks David! i have some improvments planed so will try to make them happen soon 😃

Thanks! I have always liked these racers but not the Revell kit so some thing had to be done! Thanks! Well I belive that kit is better than the C5R kit and a bit mor acurate so you migt nog need to go the same extents as i have done

Thanks. Not yet, it’s still in progress.. I think I got fed up with it when I kind of messed up the toning of the rear windows… will bring it up and Finnish it soon.

Cool! Well it should be the same kit and the impala is a snap kit even though they don’t advertise it on the box. I believe the engine is 6 pieces or so. here is the build thread:

Thanks every one. i have felt that this display was a bit small for what I need so I went ahead and made some new brick wall backdrops that I printed on the A3 printer and then I bought a thick cardboard same as architects use I guess, and then made this garage setup.

Nice, did you make any more progress on this one?

Great looking build! I have been looking at this kit manny times but have not gone for it yet

Did some more work on this. Have cut of the diffusor so I can ad one that I made which is more accurate. Also cut off all the steering components to make it posable. I did also ad some detail to the rear a arms with stretched spruce I did some bolt detail which they lack completely. The new wheels and lights are also seen here. It’s what I have seen the 1:1 have when you strip the body. |

I have been poking around with the corvette later I made the rear arches flow a bitt better since it’s hard to se on the 1:1 where they are wider than their predecessor. And I did also open up the lexan window frame so it looks more proportional I did also thin out the body so I later can modify the cage so it comes further up to the body. Or see how I can lower it lower over the chassis.
