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 ?

I wish I could have such a relaxed attitude to painting when I'm working on my kits. Thursday is the start of the holiday season and some want to leave town with a bit of class.

We took the Boxster to a physical hobby shop 70 miles away. Hobbyhaket Västerås Sweden It's a unique feeling to be able to choose from a well-stocked store in 2024.

Fantastic, great to see a build like this from a time before I came to the forum. The pictures from the first post show something that impresses me and shows the class of the build, that the interior tub is painted on the outside.

In a confused time when I had a hard time concentrating on the last (painting among other things) on my TROG 34 coupe, it became (yet) a side track with this one. I myself am very hesitant to build or try to build copies of private cars so it will be my own interpretation with the elements that I think define the car, the front, babymoons, rear wheel arches, the rear and an OHW V8. That a custom with these elements was built in Stockholm Sweden in 1964 feels almost unreal. There will be quite a lot of putty to grind soon enough. The kit is a jumping block bought at some exhibition and it feels like someone missed these parts over the years and finally got together an almost complete kit with bad parts… See the link to Kustomrama Bengt Wennergren's 1949 Ford - Kustomram https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fkustomrama.com%2Fwiki%2FBengt_Wennergren%2527s_1949_Ford&data=05%7C02%7CUlf.Nordemyr%40vasakronan.se%7Cee42b1972aa14ddb807908dc6a77fdca%7Cdd7191f1e8a340e9a8427857b1aadee7%7C1%7C0%7C638502310782280141%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=QY%2FiDP3h634yUdDL1XjYUHodNTe9pCdYTjLagBOdx8g%3D&reserved=0

Wow, you hit the nail on the head. I have a RHD Jago 32 on my mental build list and am looking at English builds from the 70's and 80's and your van looks like it came from one of the pages with scanned pictures and magazines from that era.

No one complains about the neighbor parking on the sidewalk ?

Not for me, sorry for posting..

Wow, subjekt, stance, colour, detail, everything.

Congrats Steve, unique level.
