    The door armrest/handle parts were on a chrome sprue. I don't know why because nothing on the 1/1 prototype is chrome except the door locks. These were spray painted the Hotrod Primer black over all along with the door parts that were molded in black. The door locks were made with parts of the chrome sprue cut to size and shape then glued into place in the unlocked position. The touch of Gunze Sangyo 'Salmon Pink' gives this away. The door armrest parts were then snapped into place into the door parts. The difference in the gloss black and dark hotrod primer "scale black" is clear in these pictures. Also I've installed the door audio speakers decals and front door seat adjustment button decals. The tiny bits of lint is just landed on the parts but I didn't notice until I uploaded the pictures. Thanks for looking....

    Modelbuilder Mark, da_ashman, Thanks for checking in. I'm working on the pan/chassis part now. It's all one piece so I'm going to try and get as much out of it with just paint as I can.

    Nice! I dig the rusting effect as well.
  7. Edward Gore

    The front seats are basic snap together parts as well. I wanted to replicate the rear storage pocket behind each seat so I used wine bottle lead sheet wrapped around a wire. Styrene sheet for the hard plastic seat back. The interior will be black so I'll spray paint it Hotrod Gray Primer to look scale black. The picture above shows the difference between the two flat black colors. The new scratch built detail probably wont be seen anyway. I realized this after I was done.

    Thanks for checking in. Yes, Hyundai and KIA are coming out with several Hybrids and plug-in electric vehicles. I wonder why Academy chose (or Hyundai commissioned) the Azera and not the Veloster or SOUL?

    http://imgur.com/a/FFIYI Box art This is my first snap together kit in a long long long time. My plan is to build this into an Azera that just rolled off the ship into North America from Korea. This is how cars look while going through customs as imports. It will not be covered with Cosmoline but instead be wrapped in paper and plastic inside and out. The I-Sheets start with the one piece pan/chassis assembly so this is where I started as well. The wheel hubs and muffler parts snapped in from the chrome sprue. I just aerosol can sprayed it all flat black. http://imgur.com/a/FFIYI thanks for looking ...

    Very unique subject. Well done. Is the 'green tape' also, BMF?

    The exterior color finish looks nice and the front grille too. Did you use a black wash or paint then wipe away? I've started this kit and cannot get the decals for the interior cluster display and speaker vents to cooperate. Did you have any problems with the decals from this kit?

    Derth, The hobby section is top shelf there? The hobby section shelf in Ventura, CA is on the bottom. I can't remember for sure if the Ventura, CA B&N carried it before or not but I spotted this issue in middle January.

    I'm paying attention to this build

    Very resourceful building. Realistic paint and weathering too
  18. Edward Gore
    Super clean build and paint! Where are the seats and center console from? The Vietnam ribbon is a nice detail touch.
  19. Edward Gore
    Very realistic effects you're creating
  20. Edward Gore
    Outstanding craftsmanship

    Looks good Carl. What paint did you use for the body color?
  22. Edward Gore
    Oh, Nice! Is the final model 1/25 scale or something else?
  23. Edward Gore
    I missed this blog until this morning. Outstanding custom and conversion work on this CAT. It's esp cool that you're painting it with CAT colors too
  24. Edward Gore
    yes, the smaller window has a much better look
  25. Edward Gore
    Very good work on that crew cab conversion. [thumbsup]
