oh boy thats a beefy car you got there you know who likes beef ? MY CAR seriously though, it will sit much better once it is properly mounted, the topline will end up laying flush with the hood this is just a mock up -
awesome dont forget to ad the stickers for added HP

very nice i intended to build that kit as my deathracer but the wife thought it was too nice so i bought a 69 and swapped the bodies (as you know the 68 is a hardtop, the 69 is vinyl) anyway, there are a few different people building these right now and i cant wait to see how yours (or is it your dad who is building it?) turns out nice shoe by the way

good ? a light tan stock ? black authentic like it belongs to some glue sniffing ricer kid ? bright bleu with white and a ton of mismatched other colours

honda civic si coupe 2'n 1 kit by revell
diymirage replied to kjadud0667's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
that is awesome i cant stand those fugly things and they are ALWAYS primer grey lol i used to beat the snot out of those with my cougar aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal the time and now i got the turbo passat its even better cos it doesnt look like a fast car you'd think if those kids can fork 80 bucks for a fartcan muffler they could fork 12 for 3 rattle cans and at least try and make it look halfway decent your right on the money with this build (needs a few more stickers though, every honda owner knows a sticker ads 2 WHP per sqaure inch of sticker surface -
very nicely done i was amazed at the qaulity of those revell snap tites aswell i bought my nephew his very first model yesterday (63 corvette snaptite) and the darn thing looks better then what i build they seem to have very nice detail all around im thinking of buying him this camaro (well not this one, this one is yours) next so he can make transformers bumblebee

those rides are all coming along quite well all i managed today was do some detail painting on the body and slap some decalls on i am this close to permanently mounting the body also guys, welcome mr. mike to the hussle -
he really got intrested has been talking non stop about getting a lamborghini diablo and making a replica of the bumble bee transformer and his dad is a painter (the artist type) so he has taught him the basics of drawing and painting he'll do just fine

so my nephew spend the weekend here and i bought him his first kit it is a revell 63 corvette convertable hotwheels snaptite pretty much box stock but i did lay down a coat of semi gloss painters touch black he himself decided to paint the half the seats silver detail painted the dash did some detail painting on the bottom painted the doorpanels blue all i did was lay down the basecoat and give him a hand with the stickers the rest is all him

one suggestion i would like to make turn some of your tips the other way, if you look at the tips of your flames they all point the same way (the outside) in order to make it "pop" a little more flip some of those points the other way around kinda like this origenal and this is just a quick edit (changes are in the red circles) hope you dont mind me trying to show you how i would do it. not trying to disrespect your work, just giving you my 2 cents

honda civic si coupe 2'n 1 kit by revell
diymirage replied to kjadud0667's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
pretty sure i have one sitting on the shelf its not my most favorite model but that is more because i didnt build it as nice as i could have its a revell so the kit itself is a good quality (ill try and get you a pic later) anyways, what are you looking for, references, tips ? -
