Romell R

LOL! no actually I was 1st Recon in the Marine Corps but besides doing scale models Im also into 3d grafic creation, my avatar is one of the characters in my grafic noval "PreEarther" which will hopefully release next summer

Actually you are correct about your seats sitting too low. these seats are made for race & import cars but all you have to do is add rails to the bottom to raise the seats about 3-4 scale inches. And good job on the build so far. keep up the good work. Romell

I've really enjoyed your build I think your building skills are excellent. I am really considering building a 1/12 scale project, I was wondering if you or anyone eles could give me any suggestions as to where to find good aftermarket parts sites for this scale. thx in advance for any help you can provide. Romell

"The old non-invented texuring technique" mark you crack me up I know exactly who you are speaking too (or of) I tear up in giggles everytime I see you make a statement such as this one. Please stop your ripping my sides in two , but do keep up the good work And i'd love to see more of your "non-inventive skills" Romell

where are you get the turbo units from??

Trust me if the 1:1 was home there would be some update pics, but as my body man is a lazy jerk I dont have my car yet. but stay tuned and i'll have something for ya soon

Thx for the compliment Moparfan but I am by far not the best modeler around there are soo many I look up to here in the forums that have far better skills than myself, Mr Obsessive, Scale-Master, John Teresi,TreeHugger Dave. These are just to name a few, and im still learning. as far as the A-arms go Im the type of modeler whos sees shapes and materials, the A-arms were made from piano wire that can be brought at your local hobby store, and very then sheet metal(also bought at my LHS) these were also my first attemp at welding parts together with solder. Oh and I also used brass tubbing. I know this doesnt tell how I made them as it is rather complexed and it would probably be easyer for me to do a tutorial on it. Hey maybe i'll put one together. Anyway thats enough of my jibberish, I hope you have a great day!

You should have given out bibs before this build, cause I think you me a new shirt cause i drooled all over mine LOL! EXCELLENT job my friend. Romell

This looks to be a good start keep us informed with pics.

LOL! thought I scared you or something! Um thx for the compliment

hey i thought since you asked what projects we have uncompleted. I'd post this one , i started this 15 years ago and had great Ideas for it. maybe I'll get some inspiration to finish it. And the second one is my Bug959 that got lost in the shuffle. well I hope you enjoy!

I totally agree with you.

Hey John If I didnt know this was a replica i'd be asking you if you need a driver for that sled. Nice work once again my friend!

No it wasnt completed when i took these pics

Thx fellas , but thats what this forum is all about "ENCOURAGEMENT" my build may encourage you to build, but its truely you guys that encourage me to keep it up. So thx again for the "ENCOURAGEMENT" !

Heres a couple pics of the original Monte Carlo

I originally built this over 15 years ago, It was a 1987 Monte Carlo SS pro street it had won many shows and had some magazine spreads. it was knocked off a table at a show and that ended his career. it sat in a dark box for 13 years after that untill I got the Revelle mustang kit just for some parts and I thought to myself its a shame to waste such a nice body. and the rest is new history. I hope you enjoy.....

you have my attention....

Hey Pete I'd love to see you put together a tutorial on just how easy it is to solder the parts together.

Hey I like that LOL! my name is close to the famous General pronounced (RO-Mel) and spelled with only 1"M" Romell alot of people have mistakenly pronounced it Rommell I dont mind tho.

just wanted to add this update of the radiator I have added the electric fan and coolent lines to the inside. All thats left is adding the bolts and wiring harness. I hope you enjoy....

Thx SpaceCowboy glad to see your still with us on this one.

I want to help out with this so im gonna pull out my silverado and one of my escalades and see what I can come up with.....

I use a medium set CA glue just a very small amount will hold P.E. parts. and the medium set dosent dry instantly so you'll have time (about 25 secs.) to adjust your parts.
