Is that shop the one in Fargo on 17th avenue? -
You've got the paint part down pretty good for your first..You will find lots of inspiration on this site and tips of how to do almost everything..Most important thing is take your time and BUILD FOR YOURSELF. ENJOY the hobby and its not quantity but quality..Important thing is have FUN and when it gets to be a chore STEP BACK and take a breather..Good start so far..Take care and stay healthy and safe...

With the corrected roof that could be made into a real nice stock 2 dr sedan...Will need two kits, a stock 2 dr ht and the sedan gasser kit, but can be done..
-
Nice paint and have a ?..When you glued in the front and rear pans/facia did you have to modify the chassis to fit or was it an easy fit?
-
Very nice looking car..Colors and stance are right on..Good to see you molded the front pan in too..On thing I don't like, but its your car..I like stock wheels..Very nice clean work..Well done and would stand out on any contest table...
-
Nice work and all but DON'T forget to paint the bottom of the interior to match the hole in the chassis..Should be same color as the chassis is painted..Small point but being OCD this brings to my attention to mention it to you..Nice progress on model..
-
WOW!

Very nice and clean model..The only fault of the kit is, the Belvedere Never came with bucket seats, Belvedere always had a bench seat but the factory race cars had buckets for weight..Too bad Lindberg didn't do it right..I usually use the seats from the stock 64 Dodge in the kit..Nice and clean build..

Welcome to the board Marlo..I'am from Winnipeg and a big hockey fan..Jets are my first love but been a Canadien fan before..When I was a kid there were 6 teams and we'd bet our allwance on games..I did quite well..big loss to friends though in 1967..Both our teams are not doing well yet but will get better..Hope you enjoy the site and lets see some of your builds..I'am old and don't have that much dexterity from stroke in 1998 and build just box stock..No wires or plumbing but try for clean build and nice paint..The thing with this hobby is to have fun and enjoy..not get pissed off and throw things..Take care and GO JETS GO...LOL

Watched this as you were building it..Turned out very nice..Clean and very well done.. -
I like the color but the fleck looks too big..Looks like one of those dune buggy flecks in the paint..Paint is nice and smooth though..

She may be a rust bucket but I bet that leaning tower of power still runs..Very nice work..

Working Around Red Plastic?
moparfarmer replied to JollySipper's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I've got bleed through from a 1970 Challenger T/A darker red..Used grey primer and bleed through..Bought some Toyota silver Perfect Match then primed white for interior and no bleed through..silver should not be metallic effect..This looks solid color.. -
I know Calgary is big but his work should be known around town..On a side note, how is your hockey team? I'am not from Toronto so I'am interested..Could care less about Toronto Maple Laughs..
-
Welcome fellow Canadian..I used to build with a friend in the mid sixties, he lives in Calgary now and does customs..1:1 and is very good..Name is Harold Braun, he;ll be about 70 now..Built wicked models in his modeling days..

Rustoleum 2X Over a Multi-Media Finish

You could try Duplicolor Acrylic Enamel (tall black label) It does smell like lacquer but I've used it over enamel and its okay..Polishes up nicely too..Auto parts stores usually carry Duplicolor.. -
Very nice and I really like that subtle "Top Banana" color..looks tough..Only fault I can see are yellow wires..Your choice though..Very nice build and super clean..One of Monograms better models of yesteryear..
-
Nice and by the body pictures you molded the front pan..Very nicely done..Most should mold the pan in for a better look..
-
Two or three coats of Tamiya flat clear right over the chrome lens..I find it looks okay..Three heavy coats..

At my age I hope I'am alive on June of 2022..Hope to be at NNL North in May next year if the border ever opens..

I subscribed a week ago so I hope the next issue gets up north to Winnipeg Canada..I took a chance and am hoping all works out..If not, I'am not out too much..
