Got some fresh pictures of the 1:1 from the curent owner. feels sad to se it in this shape.

Started separating the body parts and did some repairs of my work on thinning out the body panels which created warping. Seems sorted now.

I have had good luck with PrimaCreator water washable resin and yes its very little odor and easy to clean with wather and a wipe of with Isopropanol on the equipment befor next run.

Got me some suplies directly from China, 100pcs of #11 blade, 3 knifes, bunch of 1 mm magnets, brushes of various sorts to share with my other half and some cleaning stuff.

Great wheels and finishing ! What chrome did you use? Revell?

Made some work on the Camaro but combuter based. Made a fabricated 9inch rear end that should drop in nicley. Also I searched the registry for my old 1:1 and found it without engine and transmission in the south of the country. Sounded intact otherwise and i could get it super cheap rougly 1500USD. But then engine and transmission package is so expensive here, might be worth doing a blasphemy with a Mercedes v8 and manual in it which can be had for 2000k instead of 6000k.

Thanks! I will do my best Yes its fun, especialy that I can build it as i would like to build it. Thanks mate!

So I have had an idea to make a replica of the Camaro that I imported to Sweden from CA back in 2009. And this week I got hacking on it. I wanted to make at top as I had so I had purchased a ‘93 amt to kit bash to make the best ‘98 I could. I first started by hacking out the grill with a 10 blade so I can replicate my one that only had the uruthane bumper and a polished grill so the plastic grill insert had to go. next up was the t tops which meant hacking up both the ‘93 and the ‘98. Make a new reinforcement piece to replicate the 1:1. I decided to keep the revell windscreen due to the wipers on the amt was molded to the glass. I will be using the amt chassi and most part of the interior since it’s more accurate in my opinion with the sail panels and speakers.

Sweet build! looks just right!

Sweet build!

Nice build! Your body mods looks great and improves the look many times! I have a couple of 1/16 kits and seen some more, and I feel like they are just upscaled 1/25 or 1/24 kits with low detail overal. Some might be better but the ones i have all need allot of work to be worthy the scale difference to their smaller siblings. And over all allot of things have been simplifyed and might look toyish. I can not talk for the Chargers though since i have not seen these.

I have started to paint the engine and components.. looking mighty fine!

Nice build! One of the coolest 55’s! Nice work on that hinge and firewall.

Sounds like my cup of tea! My last OBS would definitely fit right in this category! And Dan, your plan sound much as my build recipe?

Nice work!

Nice build! Decals must be PITA! But looks good when done!

Thank you sir Tanks for those words

Thank you Carl! Thanks! even though its "almost" stock

Made some progress now when the Porsche is done. roof is sanded and primed to look for imperfections. Front suspension is in. Next is to drill and tap them so I can have them turning.

Thank you verry much!

Looking great! Makes me wanting to finish my Supra wide body.

Thanks Emre! There is some masking required! Most interesting was the bumper rubber seal on the top which had to be eyeballed

Thank you! Yes he enjoyed it a lot! Thank you for those words!

Nice!

Beautiful build on a modern classic! Great kit to, I have two, one rebuilder that is up soon and one mint not started. Missing parts though so I need to buy the big detail up kit I believe.
