  1. Fabbed up the side skirts and got the first side mounted, not sticking out as far as I would have liked but helps to give a lower look :)

    Waiting on the color for the body to arrive should be here in the coming days :) going to do some tests over different bases to see which one I like (orange / silver / black)

    Will update when I get paint on!

  2. Made some progress on the front lip, it's all painted up and mounted now

    Still working on the side skirt lips, 50/50 still about a rear skirt, might do something like the front one and run it under the exhaust outlets....

  4. Made some progress this morning opened up the grill and lower grill, looks so much better! will cut out behind the grill later once I have the mesh, Going to add some depth behind the grill so the cross hairs appear to be floating,

    Will be making a visit to the hobbie shop soon to get some plastic to start making the lip / front splitter,

    More updates to come later

    Ben, may I suggest that you remove the backing from the grille and use some photoetch as a grille insert.  This helps the look substantially.

    Was looking to do this as it does make the front look allot better was tempted to remove the Cross hairs and do a grille like the below one (Will need to add some plastic behind to create the depth) 

    Waiting on the local hobby shop to be open to get some plastic sheets so can fab up the lip kit, so hopefully will have some progress in the coming days :)

    Woah, that is a great looking wagon. What kit is this if I may ask? Brand? Looks like I might have to source one out. 

    Revell 06 Dodge Magnum, always loved this shape of wagon sadly we only got the 300C wagons and they are not as sexy in the front as these

    Do you have any builds of some of those unique Aussie muscle cars? I think some of those look better than some the Muricun stuff!

    Have a few of the old jaymar casts of the H series Holden's but would love to get my hands on a S or R series Valiants or a X series ford coupe

  8. Hey Guys,

    Long time lurker first time member,

    Been Building models since I was 15 and just restarted again after a good 7-10 year gap.

    Mainly built Hot Rods / Customs and Muscle Cars in the past.

    Slowly getting back into it with my first kit of a 2006 Dodge Magnum, and then pull out a few of those re-boxed projects that were packed away many years ago.

    Had some time off over Xmas so finally started the 2006 Dodge magnum that I have had in the stash.

    Plans for it is Mango Tango exterior, Front and Rear Lip kit and lowering on stock wheels. 

    Trying to keep it as simple as possible so i finish this one...

    So far almost completed the interior (need to do some final detailing and clean up), I have lowered it about 3 scale inches.

    Interior is a mix of satin black, Cream and a grey
