Good that I can get another chance at this

The full interior panels too, even though they would get covered up by the cabinets on this version

Also, the license plate box.. I did most of that on my latest build, but the hardest part was doing the dash. Its not great, but itll work Few Sprues Loose on ebay has most of the grilles and bumpers, they're really nice. I'm pushing him to make dashes too. The grille on mines is an older TX3d one

Looks like youre an actual van owner, so I'll believe you more than anyone Too bad this is the same body/ year as the AMT. Would've been nice to have an 80s, or shorty with stock body, but spotlight on any van kits is nice. I'll definitely have to add to the collection

You can use the AMT chevy van (which was the same tooling for the Ateam van) and get the conversion grille and bumpers on ebay. The dash will still be wrong though

Holy BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH this is amazing need a Rolls one too

Now I gotta make the Chevelle wagon too!

To be totally correct, you'd have to change the dashboard and doghouse too

Do you tamp down your powder? Or pour it and let it sit? I think some glues may be glossy, so they look bad through the powder

I hope so. Been asking for someone to make the LS4 and everyone thought I was crazy

You! Your models are what makes me wanna do better! I watch these videos and they just say to glue and toss on the powder, but thank you for going more in depth. I do have off brand white glue, or you think that may be an issue too?

Most times i thinned it with water, this time was straight, but both with similar results. Someone else said thin with isopropyl alcohol?

Id hate to make a new topic for this, so im sorry. So for years I've been trying to flock my interiors with embossing powder and it never seems to cover well. I would use this Mod Podge and brush it where i need it, and then shake the powder over it. Im also not sure if the glue layer has to be perfectly leveled (no brush marks) I cant seem to get it right and im not sure if im missing something in all these videos and posts.

Found this kit at a used store, Tamiya metallic blue. Fixed the headlights using the custom lights from the AMT 65 Chevelle wagon, but didn't realize the cut lines for the front pan were wrong until after paint

I think Fremont? Makes an altered wheelbase body for the Moebius kit

Very cool stuff! Can't wait to see what other 70s stuff you come up with

@Wylde I gotta put in an order soon too. A lot of good stuff

Yeah I love these things too. Some kits from the 80s came with these proportions, but with stock style bodies, and these guys would make their own bodykits and mods. They're pretty pricey now though. Some these are modified regular kits, and I saw some articles in a Japanese model magazine where they showed where the cuts were to get these proportions

Maybe it's the Sunset Strip in France😬😅

I have an unbuilt Night Prowler that came with a model lot I bought and it has always bothered me that the front and rear fender treatments on that one don't match

I think if I built a car every week, it'd take over 5 years to get through my pile. I better get to work

That's brilliant

How about a sewing kit?

On mines, yes. These always looked weird otherwise, that's why it took me a while to build it
