What started out basically as a swap meet is now one of NZ's biggest car shows with classic and hot rod iron from all countries included nearly 300 pics here http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v392/awesome55/2011%20events/Kumeu%202011/

AMT kit

try baby oil (from the bottle not squeezed from babies ) or a light cooking oil. Several applications maybe needed but it should break it down.

This is COOL !!

thanks guys , its done wont be under glass for a few days cause I'm going away for a long weekend but heres a couple of pics anyway

Got it cleared this afternoon finished the interior and just finished giving it a wetsand and a polish Not too far to go now going to paint the rocker panels black tomorrow then finish it up.

Thanks guys. Kane, you're almost making feel like a celebrity you stalker you , finished that 32 yet ?

smart um person thanks bro

Yep started another one , this time the AMT curbside, again out of the box with a bit of detail painting. Colour is Duplicolor Metalspecks purple. Got to give hood and top of front guards a light rub back as I got a little heavy(read runs) at the base of the windscreen (man I hate rattle cans, give me an airbrush any day), does give a nice shine though

Jada kit, thread in on the workbench most if not all I've seen have the headlight pod body colour but I think it looks better silver, as you can see and I didn't notice till posting the pics a little repair is needed around one of the lights cause I didn't check the instructions and had to remove the pod for the glass to come in from the bottom 1st

Just check the under glass section Rob, theres bound to be one of almost every color in there. Car suits most all colors as well.

Really nice build Lee, I like that shade of green and its great to see a charger build that just a little bit different.

Thanks Earl ( I think ), color is Tamiya TS12 orange with TS 65 Pearl clear over top. Mixed up some candy orange( SEMS candy apple red and candy yellow) and laid that over top yesterday,cleared last night. Not quite as dark as I'd hoped but I quite like how its come out. finished the interior and engine bay installed interior and glass, not far to go now

Awesome man ! This looks so COOL !!

You're doing some great work here man,yet to see anything I would change

Great work Danny ! big thumbs up

Jada kit, so parts count is a little low, fit is dang near perfect. Box stock, gave it a light rub with some 1200 last night, primed before I went out this morning, painted when I got home this afternoon. straight out of the Tamiya can Tamiya pearl clear trying to decide whether to put a candy orange over the top as it will darken it a little and accentuates the pearl underneath.

thanks guys,as you will see I got it done. used thin clear acetate as a template then thicker blister pack for the actual windows.

Great looking build Walter

I think your body prop is a little out of scale but your build (engine especially) look great. Very nice work man!

great job Lee, that paint looks spectacular

That looks really good for someone of your age, keep going like that and you'll look like a pro in a few years

Looks good Niko, I got one of these too . Wont start mine till the new year though.

First off, congrats James. Second I agree, they are the most fun to make in part because you are doing it with your wife/partner, But they are the hardest to keep clean and polished,especially as they hit there teenage years

thanks for taking the time to reply man
