What's good all, while we were waiting to get some time to paint a few last pieces for my daughter's 34 Ford Pickup, she saw the old MPC Joker car and wanted to do something with it, I've not seen too many completed but we figured we would put a nice little twist on one, will follow suite with the traditional Joker colors, but liven it up a little We used HOK Passion Purple for the lower body and HOK Limetime Pearl for the roof and decklid, overall it came out really good, working on the rest of it as well...Enjoy the pics.

What's good all, finally got some solid time in on the Gremlin, got a lot of paint work done and will be working on assembly now...

Thank you guys! The nomad is a friend of ours here locally, beautiful car! How is all CT, hope the things have been well, we finally got the last few pieces sprayed for the pickup over the past few days so Bell and I will be working on finishing her build! In the process she started another project, the old MPC Joker car, I have not seen too many done, this one is going to be cool, think you will like it, we will post some pics up here shortly! And thank you for the comments, Bell is a wonderful kid, brings a lot of joy to the family for sure!

Good looking build, love the color!

Couple shots of Bell and the 1:1s

We finally got a little bench time in this afternoon, cleaned up chassis parts and got some painting in, hopefully this evening we can do some assembling! Bell been super excited to get back to the models. Her interest in models and 1:1 cars is growing by thr day

Looking good!

Great start, looking forward to seeing this one come along

Thank you CT, my family and I are clear of them being in the City here. At one point we had 3 fires within 4 to 40 miles of us, day time was like evening for a few days with smoke being so bad. I appreciate the concern my friend

Good looking build Gary!

Beautiful build, I enjoyed watching this one come together in the WIP section, your attention to detail and making this all come together as it has, out of this world!

Sometime this weekend I'll post some pics of some various flocking I've done so you can see the outcome, in my signature, take a look at the 59 Impalas link, there is a shot of the conv. interior pan showing purple flocking over purple paint, not sure if there is a clear shot of the hardtops floor, that tub was sprayed in pearl white, for the black flocking I brushed on flat black paint, then used model master clear coat, brushed that down for the flocking.

Project is looking great, like the detail and all the work going into this!

Looking good, I've got a few of these I'm looking forward to building soon!

The amount of detail and work is awesome, been great following this along!

Very cool start! Look forward to following this one thru!

Came out looking really good! Actually reminds of a similar year Dodge truck a neighbor had when I was kid, would see it everyday walking to and from school.

I've had good luck with flocking, I paint a base color down similar to the flocking color, then either use a white glue reduction or bottled clear I can brush on for flocking. In this case I would have painted, either taped off and sprayed or brushed the floor pan flat black, then flocked over.

Yes, it is growing on me! Yeah, hopefully it will look very similar to the 1:1 he had in the pic above in initial thread. Here is the color I got made up

Thank you!

Sorry to hear about your buddy, I can see where the car could grow on you, I've seen some really nice 1:1's built up as I've been looking at photos online and I read about the X Levi edition, pretty cool! Those old raceways make for some great memories indeed! Thank you David! Thank you for the information and the pics! Been a little task for sure getting this thing to come together right! See a lot of potential and ideas in the kit itself though! Yeah, it has been growing on me for sure, have some ideas for some future builds with this kit!

Nice, definitely fun trying to replicate some of these cars with what is available! Cragars do look good! The more I started looking at images, there are some sweet Gremlins out there. The frame is awful, if I wasnt building this to replicate someone's, I'd be chopping into this!
