Sharp Elcamino

Nice work. They were a car that im sure you seen whenever you left home in the 70s and 80s. Its to bad they dont reissue one of the stock Chevy Vega kits.

This looks great! Im interested in the brass era cars. I am looking for thus kit actually.

I seen that there to Tim at Round 2s table.

I agree i over did it on coats.

There beutiful cars.

So i put 3 more coats on. I dont know if im happy with it? It actually may have looked better before the last 3 coats of paint. What do you guys think? There are some flaws on driver door and roof and driver side quarter panel.

I picked up a mpc 77 Monaco 2 door kit 3 years ago for 60$ its still in my stash along with 2 4 door Monaco kits. I definitely do not see them often.

These look great! Were did you get parts to make it a Magnum?

Eventually i bet i will wanna try it.

Thanks guys. Ya its a very nice color for that car. I love the impalas im glad theres many impala kits available.

Thanks man! Its a nice kit. And they are beutiful cars?

6 coats of MCW Light Turqoise Metallic. I think its turned out great so far but im thinking 2 more coats? For a nice deep look...

This is very sharp! I have always admired builders who make opening doors its something i havent wanted to try but its a nice touch.

I love these cars. Yours looks great! I built one years ago but my skills are better now i wanna pick this kit up again.

This looks sweet!

Welcome Bill. I have 141 unbuilt models but it still isnt enough haha

My favorite year of Road Runner. I need to get this kit into my stash. You did a great job! Excellent detailing

Thank you everyone

Thank you everyone! I liked the color combo when I seen it on a real one. And I definitely enjoy the fine detail work and taking the time to do it. My foiling skills have definitely come along way. It's funny I remember when I was 13 when I started building model cars regularly I just wanted to slap it together as soon as I could So i could buy another one now I enjoy detailing them.

I just finished it yesterday. I scratchbuilt the arm rests on the front door panels for added realism. I did use a mirror from my junkyard because the kit does not offer a stock one. And used photoetched parts along with decals for the dash. And scratch built door sill plate moldings. I wired the engine and used photoetched hose clamps for the first time. Made front coil springs also for it. Scratch built valve stems for tires to and painted tire lettering plus detailed the hubcaps. 8 coats of Testors gloss cream and 4 of Testors gloss black. Airbrushed. I had alot of fun building it. It was a 2 month build. And only fit issue was hood. The trickiest parts to detail was painting the hood and trunk emblems red white and blue but it was well worth the effort. And of course i foiled up all the chrome trim. Otherwise it goes together great like most monogram kits. I came to learn my Grandpa had one of these back then to.

Thanks!

Thank you! No you are right on the tires.

Thanks. I think it's turning out great to.
