That IS beautiful!

I second that!

I had three 944's .. and a couple 924 ... and I like this. Those 4 bangers never had all the horsepower the car could use. I'm not surprised it fits .. the Porsche engine was at almost a 45 degree angle. Looking forward to seeing this continue.

To backtrack a bit, the first time I glued the hinges with 5 min epoxy they broke loos as I tried to slide the lid off ... the bend in the hinge hit the curve in the lid and pried it loose. I cut the ends shorter by about 1/8 inch and attached them with JB Weld after sanding down to bare plastic ... another mistake on the first glue. Today they slid off with just a minor bind on one side. Hinges seem to be my nemesis after all the trouble on hinges for my daughter's '85 GMC Van! I also got the paint and am ready for final sanding and priming! Now I'm debating how I get the VOLKSWAGEN nameplate on the hood. Right now I'm thinking just a black decal since chrome is undoable with a decal I make. There doesn't seem to be any PE sets with the script I need.

That's nice .. and a full 928 engine! How unfortunate it's 1/20 .. :huh:

I can't believe you're doing this on your first build ... you're taking on major tasks most of us tool decades to perfect! And the results are like you've been doing this for years! Those gauges are to die for ... and machined radio knobs! ... BEAUTIFUL!

Nice job rusting that up ... don't pay attention to those hard core types above me. Not sure Prince would be proud ...

That's an interesting job done on the side windows and B pillar.

I'm diabetic and have never seen quantities less than 100 ... when you use 4 or 5 a day, that's a small supply. Having gotten a Medical Discharge for diabetes, I get all mine free from the VA, so I don't even know if the average person can just walk in and buy any without a prescription. Most of the ones I get are 29 or 30 gage. I have tried them for CA but got only one use since it hardened inside ... maybe I needed to flush better or suck in some debonder. The hundred pack may be a good buy it that happens often. I just went back to toothpicks and sewing needles.

That looks good chopped. I really like the Chrysler tail lights on it too!

That's a striking build!

oh no ... what are we ever going to paint our custom model tires with?? ... acrylics?

They have various saw blades ... http://www.xacto.com/products/cutting-solutions/blades/classic-blades/Keyhole-Saw-Blade-15.aspx

That black & white looks really good!

The bumps, grinds and grit on this is spectacular!

Weather has been gorgeous here, but I have been working! A lot of detail painting .. this kit has a LOT of parts! The 1/24 engine lid is about done and fits good. I even got the hinges on ... first time for this type of hinge for me, believe it or not. I'm waiting on some .03" triangle shapes to put back the fender welts I sanded off on the left side. Along the way I have noticed another change in the rear starting in '68 when the engine lid was changed. The piece between the fenders below the lid sloped down at a steeper angle and looks like the back fenders do also. It will look better once the fenders are on. The engine is coming together too .. beautiful engine in this kit!

Very nice builds!

Looks good! What kit is this? I've been looking forever for a WRX to build my son's car and this has the correct headlights/tail lights!

yes

This thread could get banned for the lead content .. but it sure is pretty!

Right or wrong blue ... and I have no idea .. that came out beautiful!

very realistic weathering!

Different for sure! The slanted intake scoop makes it look pretty radical. I say go for it!

That's very good looking. Great job on all the little details .. they really stand out.

Good looking truck ... tell us a little about the 1:1.
