Milner 32 5 window American Graffiti build
Bullybeef replied to Silvercreeker's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Iāll follow along as this is one that Iāve wanted to build myself! -
Great start Dennis, happy to see you back at it again.

-
Looks darn purdy there Jim, are you using the stock trunk handle or something a little more svelt?
-
Donāt get me wrong Bill, Iām not against an airbrush, just to do a proper setup the cost outlay is way out of my modelling budget at the moment, Iāve got a good process for rattle cans and Iām happy with the results.
-
Thank you Ken, itās back on track! still not a Oilers or a hockey fan!
-
Cleaningā¦. Ohh maaann thatās like workš Well Iāll give it some consideration, the initial cost outlay is a bit out of my budget atm unless I buy a cheapo chinesium one from Temu or Amazon. š¤

I donāt own an airbrush, maybe I should! š¤
-
Me too man, me too. Gonna let it gas out for a couple of days before I handle it to do final assembly. Just have to find the fancy bits for the final push like door handles, mirror, tail lights headlights.

Thanks for the kind words gents, persevere I shall. I had another body(like who doesnāt have a spare 32 3 window shell just laying around) and I went through my usual prep and paint process this time with my dwindling supply of Tamiya primer and paint( gonna be a sad day when it finally runs out) and the results show the difference. To those who might say it was something in my process that went bad Iāll say nay it was the subpar primer that I was sold like a bill of goods, duplicolour is no substitute for quality, Iāll save the can and use it as intended on some random piece of farm/garden implement as itās only fit for.
-
Yeah itās got the beginnings of a great patina jobā¦
-
Well I can honestly say that Iām hugely disappointed with the duplicolour primer, I went through the exact same process of prep and paint that Iāve been doing for years with the only exception of the duplicitous Duplicolour primer, I feel duped. So now itās gonna sit in the purple pond of doom. After months of waiting for good painting weather, this ādampensā my spirits. And lastly the sad sack mock-up to try to cheer myself up!

āRestrainingā the criticism might be a tall Ask Jim. I like it.
-
Itās great to see that almost a year later they there are still builders plugging away at the finish line and have not abandoned their builds!

Atlantis 57 Chevy Nomad... Nothing to lose
Bullybeef replied to disconovaman's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Canāt fault Atlantis as most likely they are copy/paste from Revell instructions. I attempted the 55 with all the opening bits and failed horribly in the early 90ās! -
How many models are you working on at one time?
Bullybeef replied to rossfox's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Iāll generally have one major build going along with a couple of side distractions( squirrels) sometimes Iāll get an idea while working with the major and hash it out as a side project to see if it will work. That being said I have over a dozen of these āideasā sitting within reach of the bench so if I reach a stalling point I can dredge up an old idea and make some progress. Having a rather depleted stockpile of glue bombs and rebuilders has been a hinderance lately. -
Finally! š

Thanks Craig, need some dry weather, itās been damp cold and miserable for weeks!
-
Thank you Greg, itās the lower part of the K-member making it lean! Itās perfectly straight once I put the wheels n tires on.
-
Thank you Bob, still a couple of smallish details to do but Iām super happy with it!
-
Thanks Bob, Iāll give it the honest effort to try it out.
