Tail lights are parts box clear, painted Tamiya clear red, glued over foil. Letters on talgate are bare plastic, red paint lightly sanded off. Rear bumper is a Mobius unit.

I have 2 of the 3D printed Webers and 2 that Greg resin cast for me, so now I'm working on fuel lines and linkages. Well only fuel lines so far, tiny pieces and tiny drill bits! I've sprayed them with Revell chrome but no pictures yet as I'm letting them dry and my eyes heal! LOL

I did like those weird instructions as art though! Maybe not all that helpful as instructions, but they sure look cool, to me at least. Although I haven't looked at them in over 10 years.

Simply amazing and I was lucky enough to see it in person, stunning, but what can you do now Steve? Seems impossible to top that one. I've been stunned by your builds for years and they just keep getting better, but this, I don't know what could be better. Congratulations!

Fantastic tip!

That engine surround is really awesome, nice design and scratch building!
-
Fantastic work on that 4 link! And you've absolutely nailed the stance, with the perfect wheel/tire combo, oh man that is looking so sweet!

Wonderful kits but I just can't build anything without modifying it! LOL And these kits are fun to modify!

Having opened up the headlights and cut off the bumper to make a "blade" style, I needed backing for clear lenses and those openings are too deep to just cover the backs. So I took some styrene rod and "machined" it down with a cordless drill and a 220 grit sanding stick until it fit into the headlight openings. Then I created a bit of a concave end to the rod, before slicing one, then crating another concave end, then slices, and so on until I had 4. I sprayed Revell chrome on and once that dries I'll add clear lenses, do a wash on the grille and It should look pretty cool! I've got my "blade" bumper attached too.

Excellent solution to those doors! I'm going to be gluing the panels closed on the Pagani Huayra, gorgeous car, terrible fitting opening panels. Your McLaren is looking spectacular so far! I had to use a hair dryer for the roof decal, if you're using that, look out!

Does Mobius make a stock version of the '65 Nova post car? Do they plan to? I used the gasser stuff on another build but have all the stock body, chrome and "glass", no chassis or interior. I'd like to build a stock entry level '65.

Atlantis rolls out ex Revell 57 Chevy Nomad.
dino246gt replied to John M.'s topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
That's the best idea yet, although I guess it really doesn't belong here, where they're trying to promote sales of the new release. I swapped a Revell '55 hardtop onto a Revell '56 sedan to make an all Revell '56 hardtop. So a Revell '56 Nomad could be grafted onto a Revell '57 too. -
Awesome! I though you might've built it as a curbside, and it was fantastic at that, but this is way better!

Greg, you KNOW I love this kind of project and I love the way you do it so methodically! Also love all the pictures with explanations, so cool!
-
I'm digging' it already and I did build one, so I have a hint: Glue the door inner to the outer before paint, then mask off the interior colors. This is because of the terrible fit of the inner and outer AND the thickness of the outer, that can be thinned before paint and the seam can be filled also before paint! I loved building mine until final assembly and I saw this:
-
It sure does look fantastic though and what a great color choice! I love it!
-
Starting to make inner fenders, piece by piece! Glued some styrene to 3 sides of each shock tower. Modified the Revell Enzo kit wheel tubs to fit around those shock towers. Then I fitted scraps to fill in areas around the suspension. Let all that dry and start throwing putty! Probably not today though.
-
Beautiful build and the perfect colors and stance! Brings back memories as I was 15 in '64 and so remember drooling over these cars!
-
Still no colour chosen!
-
I'm excited to see what you do to this one, I know you know Countachs very well, as you did one large scale to perfection!

Looks Grrrrreat! Love the interior detail and the grille with maroon between it and the bumper. Very nicely done!

I made the door panels. The door openers will be foiled so will the 2 lines below the arm rests and those little things above the armrests. There will be red lights at the rear edge of the doors and clear white lights just behind those to illuminate the rear floor. Flocking will be up to the lower strip. It's just rough now but that's how it starts, fine tuning after. Cheers
