Strange, rented this one month and do not like, I love it. Unexpected. but it does what a car should do and it does it well.

Looks great, I built that kit when it came out. I chickened out and glued a brass wire between the front wheels that the car rested on because I felt the front axle was a little weak.

On the limestone gravel between the sea and a decent cover band.

Nice build, I like it and I like the idea promo style. There are usually theme threads like show yours _____ but I have not found any with promo style. Is there anyone who has a tip ?

Beware that Vallejo has two different kinds of clear coat, I realized it the other day. One like the colors and one like the primer, for example Vallejo 72651 Polyurethane Matt Varnish. So Polyurethane just like aircraft and armor builders favorite clear coat from Microscale. I will dive deep down into these clearcoats and primers after the summer. Polyurethane requires a little more work to clean the airbrush than the regular Vallejo paints.

Definitely Monogram, there have been quite a few sold in Sweden over the years and you will probably be able to find the parts you are missing. My impression is that quite a few 1:1 rodders have both gluebombs and complete kits in the basement. regarding the sanding scratches, I think you can get to the body well by sanding with wet sandpaper, filling deep scratches and using a slightly filling primer such as Hagmans (not Biltema's light gray). Test on a small surface. The Facebook group Grevens Glue Galore is the right place for those who have Facebook in Sweden. Don't miss Hobbyhaket in Västerås, Fredrik might be able to help you.

I think there also is the "Dixie Twister" seen at Youtube on South East Gassers channel.

Nice, can I be a little curious and ask if you use any primer before Tamiya's acrylic colors?

Thanks for the tip, I just applied it to my summer cottage project, before it was a smooth surface. Now I see clearly what needs to be done. Your build is a top ten in the years I have been watching the forum.

Gotland Island Sweden, at a place by the sea as far east as you can get.

Nice to see a Big Bug, You have a great eye for parts. I like the stock steering wheel and the scoop(looks like classic bolt on but I don’t remember any from my childhood).

I would like to ride in this car and look up at the sky through the roof.

So very beautiful, really nice to see it in a normal environment. edit; regarding the Corvair

Very much a matter of availability and habit, I know people who build nicely and well using classic tube glue. I myself use Revells almost exclusively, ethylacetate like Tamiya's thin I moved almost completely phased out, Super glue only if it is like metal pins. I like Revells glue because it gives strong bonding and I feel that body modifications are both stronger than with super glue which is brittle, the glue joint gets the same properties as the plastic. In addition, I find that the Revell glue joint releases the solvent faster than when I glued with thin liquid glue.

Repo Man is a wonderful movie that I saw for the first time on my 58th birthday this year. A 4 door Chevelle or Malibu is perfect for building a weekend racer with lots of decals. https://carguychronicles.com/65-chevelle-flashback-stocker-street-east/

Tellus modelers deserve a 1967 Valiant more than many other kits.

I think you are wondering about what glue I used(?). English is not my first language so I'll answer what I think you are asking. Perfect to glue millimeter paper with and drill too, so I got the distances between my drill holes equal in the picture. Test that the glue can really be dissolved with water when it has solidified, ordinary so-called white glue cannot be dissolved.

I once glued a net to the drawing with the outline of the net which in turn was glued to a cardboard box with glue stick that dissolve in water, cut and then just washed off the glue. I think it was one of the several Tamiya armour kits I build years ago, it was a bit floppy but a stiffer one would have been impossible to assemble.

Probably a Street Rod, I have a weakness for the English rods from the 80s. I think it can be a fun challenge to find the right parts as opposed to building according to current trends.

Very Nice, British plates and righthand drive is as right as rain. Soon it will be time for me to build a British car.

Nicely built, my absolute favorite kit, this kit established my AMT fanboy identity for life.

Looks very promising, you won't be able to finish by next week ?
