I had a '51 Plymouth with that BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH L-Head 6 that never started in the winter and they still didn't get it right after decades! Good job throwing in a Flathead Ford!

I've used melted plastics (using liquid glue) and it works fine for small parts. The problem at the start here is using silly putty that reacted with the MET. It had nothing to do with using plastic. The only limitation is the curing light has to reach every part of the part to cure it. Silicone casting rubber is the easiest mold maker also. Otherwise, taek all the advice to make your part making last longer than necessary. For small parts there's nothing faster or simpler than using a Bondic type light-cured plastic. Look here.

I had to fabricate a tunnel for a Triumph TR4A resin kit and used another TR3 kit to shape the tapering tunnel. I used Silicone molding rubber to mold it, rather than destroying a kit. Just mix the two parts and push over the tunnel. Then I slit the rubber At the open ends and inserted thin plastic to close it off. The tunnel was plastered with Bondic heat curing plastic on the inside to make the tunnel. The ends were made from plastic tubes and all glued, filled and sanded. Hope all these pics I took along the way help. Bondic is a miracle product for all these small casting jobs. This is a thread I started with all the uses I've found. Just put in a mold and shine blue light on it for 4 seconds and it's cured. Done.

I've been working on the '67 TR4A I had in 1/24 resin, but this smaller version even has an engine.

Cars are meant to be driven ... beautiful!

Just beautiful! I really enjoyed watching this come together.

Zowie! Turned out good!

BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH those things! Wonderful job on this!!

Great bodywork!

Beautiful job on it all. I'm assuming the roof is based on the real mill. Never seen a roof sloped like this in my whole career as a structural engineer.

I have that one and it is pricey. but it's everything they say it is and will last beyond your lifetime. This was the thinnest square I could find and it's pretty useful for me. High Quality.

I'm out of breath just watching ... !

Wow .. beautiful job!

Very nice build!

Some amazing work and a beautiful result!

The texture is unfortunate. Just flapping some 600 sandpaper loosely against them will reduce 3d printed texture a lot.

I agree

I'm 72 and have been retired for 10 years. No forced retirement as I was an owner in my engineering firm. I simply got tired of dealing with the clients that had no clue to what I did. I eventually got the basement setup as a model shop and have really enjoyed getting more serious building. I got into a mode where I'd go down for at least an hour every day and more in the beginning. I still create way too much to do on every build and things get done no sooner with all the time in the world to do them. Everything gets done at my own pace, as it should. Nothing in retirement should have a deadline. Even thou I've been diabetic for over 50 years, my health has been better than it ever has. I've been sure NOT to treat my model building as a job. If I don't go down to the shop today, so what. ))

That car did you well ... good you used another color for that cool beater!

Very nice. I'm kind of a VW fan having had 3 Bugs, a Rabbit the same year as this GTI, and finally a 2016 GTI ... took me awhile to get one.

As with your others, I'm sitting silently with jaw in my lap.

That 'window' option would have been nice when I was building my daughters van using an A-Team body. I knew one version of the '85 GMC/Chevy had window recesses so they could be easily cut out. I never found which version had them, but a rerelease should include these to add easy options. Look what I had to do ...

Thanks for those photos, Chuck. I'm 924/944 Fixated because of five owned, but only 2 out of build mode projects. This scale is too large for my preferences but looks like a nice kit and would make a good looking model.

Looks great

I like it .. it's in the spirit of customs from long ago.
