W-409

I use Tamiya Masking Tape for small Mock Ups. If I have to mock up a lot of parts, then I use white glue which works very nicely. Parts are easy to take apart again, but they don't fall apart too easily.

Okay here we go with the Camino. I started by playing with the wheels and tires. Since it's going to be a Street Machine, I decided to go with my all time favorite wheels: Centerline! I changed the tires too. For the rear, I chose wider Centerlines than regular/most common ones and front wheels are very narrow. I had to do a little test fit to see that they fit fine. Then I started the engine. I painted the block and some other parts Tamiya Red and decided to go with Aluminium intake manifold, which is from the kit, too. Even if it's bit flat, I thought it will look good once I install good carburetor and Air Cleaner on it. Weiand valve covers are from the parts box.

Oh I didn't remember I have this on the stash, too. This is really a NightMare kit, I've started it but got stalled just because of the kit quality.... Maybe this project makes me to go back building it again, and maybe doing another entry to Nightmare Kits CBP (Two entries were allowed?). Looking very good so far, I like the engine, but especially the wheels look nice. Fantastic color!

Heh, I got a new Camera too, but the Macro is not as good as it was in my beformer camera. But otherwise it takes 100 times better pictures, and there's working zoom and camera can be closed properly (Those were wrong with the old one). Needs to try not to drop it on floor. Your picture looks very good and sharp, it really helps finding mistakes, but actually it's hard to find mistakes from your builds. Does that Camera have a video-recording mode? That's something I think is a Must Have, because then I can film all Burnouts on local Cruisings (Yes, in Finland) without carrying a big video camera with me.

If it's Okay to everyone, I jump in with MPC Reissued '86 El Camino. There's no single Nightmare-part on that kit, but the overall detail-or lack of overall detail makes me think it qualifies in this CBP quite well. The body is nice, though. I'm planning to build mine as Mild StreetMachine and making some little easy upgrades to the kit, but I've planned not to start cutting and slicing it. I have started the engine, but once I get more done, I'll post more pics. However, here's the boxart.

Nice Model, and those register plates are all right. One guy here in Finland raced few years ago with '63 Buick Special on Circle Track. He always drove to the Race track with a Roofrack full of important equipment, no trailer, bus or any service vehicle. It was really nice car. But yeah, not to highjack... Your Honda turned out excellent.

That Wagon is a hard one. I have no idea, but.... '80 Datsun 510?

Let's Try. '69 Chevy Chevelle. Shelby GT350 '68 Chevy Camaro '66 Chevy Nova '70 Plymouth Duster '69 Mustang

I got Revell '62 Impala, '69 Corvette and MPC '86 El Camino as a Christmas Present. Also few small paint brushes from my Sister. The Impala will be '60s Stocker, Corvette will be Stocker as Raced nowadays and that El Camino will be basic Street Car. And of course, we got A Lot of Snow.

Merry Christmas And Happy New Year To Everyone!

Put me on the list with '69 Ford Torino Talladega. When can I start building?

Thanks Bruce! The foiling turned out quite good, maybe a new sheet of BMF helped me. I wish to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone.

Thanx Dave! Well that would be a good idea to try if I can't find ProTech Braided Line. Looks like he has it in Stock now, when looking at the web-page. Maybe needs to put order in. Merry Christmas and fast Elapsed Times on the New Year.

Heh, Thanks Charlie! I hope Teppo Saari has those Pro Tech Braided Lines in stock, I have to put an order in soon. The problem with that Scale Dreams' line is that it can be pushed flat too easily, so it's not round anymore and those lines are much harder to keep in one piece than Pro Tech lines. Those are not bad, though, not just for me.

Thanks Tyrone and Darryl, the comments are really appreciated. The fuel lines are finally done. Huh, that was quite a job to do and I'm not sure if the end result is as good as it could be. I think the Detail Master braided line is not the best for this job, I had Pro Tech before and it was better, but couldn't find it last time so I bought this. Well anyway, now I can move on to the cooling system with its Braided lines. I also planned my next project which will start once this is completed in some point of 2013, '64 Dodge 330 Funny Car.

The only way to make Lamborghini interesting... I'll be watching this one closely, keep it up.

That's excellent build.....In Three Days?! I can't get the engine finished in three days and you built whole car and it looks awesome. The paint and detail is incredible, like the stance too. Good work.

Wow this is coming along very nicely, I like the paint job on it! Great job with the engine too, nice details on it. I can't wait to see more of this.

High And Wild! I like it. Just lower the rear end A L-i-t-t-l-e and you get perfect stance for a Street Freak. I like the whitewalls too, I will be watching this one closely.

I have one of those Monogram Camaros on the bench, too. The body just doesn't look right, but I think it can be turned into nice model. Haven't figured out yet, what should I build for this CBP. I'll look what I have on my stash.

Very nice, I really like it. Your builds are always excellent, but this one is one of my favorites. Very nice overall look and good paint job. Interior turned out great, too. Unique Wagon, I bet many modelers won't have this one on their shelves. Very nice.

Known also as Lada 2102....?

They all look great! Really nicely done builds, very clean and realistic looking, everyone of them. Especially I like the GTO and that GMC Wrecker, nice job.

They all look very nice to me, but if I had to pick my favorite, it would be the '57 Chevy. It's just so nice. Excellent detailing on them and nice paint jobs. Can't wait to see the '55 finished next year.

Thanks Rick, and yeah these were quite colorful and very nice cars Back In The Day. I put the decals on, it was big job to do, but actually it looks like Stock Car once decaled. Those Racing Numbers and Plymouth Textes on the sides were bit difficult to get right, because they are installed over the chrome trim. Some more Micro Sol is still needed for the decals but here are some pics.
