W-409

Yes, I guess the new primer and paint will help to get better result. Needs to get some MR.Muscle now, actually that day is today, then I can start removing the paint. Luckily I forgot to paint the hood, so I can paint that already, while the body is in Mr.Muscle. I'll post some pics when I do more progress, maybe that day is pretty soon, there are some other things to do too.

Andy: Thanks! The motor is bit small, yeah, but next time I'll build better one. Can't take that water pump off from the engine anymore. Bart: I managed to fail painting that red. After first coat, it wasn't shiny at all, but that wasn't big problem. Bigger problem was, that there were some mistakes on the bodywork, and trunk lid wasn't smooth. I didn't have Polishing set that time. Now I painted another coat of Red, to make everything look alright. BUT some strange things happened, and paint came away from the corners, and did little reaction with that older paint coat, so now I can see white plastic from some spots. Other than that, paintjob is pretty good, but those can't be fixed nicely, so I guess it's easier to remove that paint and throw about 20 year old Spray Can away. Without that problem, I would be happy and body would be clearcoated allready and waiting for polishing.

Today I was able to rework that belt and pulley area... I don't understand why, but I installed that fan and didn't convert that water pump to present Electric one. Now I built new belt from black paper, and pullies are from the kit. I converted that water pump to present electric pump, and I guess it's Ok. Not 100% correct, but good enough, it can't be seen very well anymore, when I put everything together.

That's really cool Super Gas Camaro! Super Gas is pretty interesting category, even if there's indexes and stuff like that, but because Super Comp has so many Dragsters (and they are all same style Dragsters), Super Gas is more interesting. Really great paintjob on this Camaro, very nice build overall. There's nothing to complaine about.

Great job, Mark! That came out very nice, paintjob and decals look good. Wheels and tires are nice too. Seatbelts are looking very good too, thanks for joining in this CBP-and finishing your build! I'll add to the entry list, that it's finished. Tim: Vette looks very cool too, that wheel/tire MockUp looks very good to me. Can't wait to see, how it turns out. Liam, Lotus looks very good too, that body painting is great. It looks so smooth, and shiny enough.

Turned out very nice, Tyrone. Paintjob is great, and like that detailing on the engine bay. I've always loved American Racing Torq Thrust wheels, if they are not chromed.

Wow, those paintjobs are GREAT! I should say, that Shiny Rules. Really smooth and shiny paintjobs, thanks for sharing them.

This came out Sweet! I like that color on the body, and flames look very good too. Deal Wheels style builds are interesting, and this was very great build to follow. Very great job all over, needs to move back to On The Workbench to see that Cordvette (?) build. Thanks for sharing it.

Very cool Camaro project. Can't wait to see this done, are you going to take resin copies from it? Would be great to have one. Body modifications look very cool. Pro Stock Camaro would be nice to see too...

I've put my Glue bombs what are bought without box, in empty Model Boxes. But some really rare boxes, or boxes what are in Bad condition, I just put behind my Finished models, so visitors can see them.

Well that's great. I like those Revell or Humbroll Enamel colors very much, because they are quite easy to paint. Smooth is not problem anymore, I guess, just bought all of the Polishing stuff from Model Car Contest.

Yeah, that's very cool too. I like the idea of making this kind of Sprint Car. And I can't believe, that it's almost 100% scratchbuilt! Paintjob is great too, and I like that body very much.

Well this Is Cool! Paintjob and those scallops look very good, and engine detailing is very realistic. It looks like it could be running. Like everything about it, but maybe those wheel bolts and nuts should be painted?

Very cool Slot Car! That engine looks good, even if it's only the top half. Paintjob and all of that bodywork looks good too.

This is cool project, that idea is great. Interesting to see how it turns out, starting point looks like very interesting. I'll be following this very surely, thanks for sharing another great WIP with us.

Somehow I've missed this topic, too. But Happy Birthday, DR. Cranky!!!

Thanks Mark for the help! It's about one month now before the next Model Car Contest here in Finland, maybe I must look if I find some Alclad there. It would help me alot with some projects. I guess that Gloss Black can be Revell Enamel-or Humbroll? Great to hear, you're making progress. Hopefully we can see some pictures soon. Liam: Looking very good too, that shade of silver looks good on that engine!

If this one is Model, builder is very talented, as Manuel said. I voted Real, because everything looks so realistic. That register plate is only thing, what caught my eye. It looks like "Flat" to me, bit like decal. But everything else is just like real parts, so I say Real.

I remember that WIP topic, it was great and I really liked it. Glad to see it finished now, it's looking very good! Of course the kit is bit simple, but I guess that's not a problem when builder is this talented.

Very nice Dodge you have there, paintjob is looking smooth and shiny. I like that interior too, detailing is great. Those belt buckles look very good to me. Engine is very clean too, thanks for sharing.

I've painted and installed those rear axles. I don't know why, but I painted them before assembling axle halves together. But luckily they fit nicely together, and that little seam, what left there, can't be seen very well from Finished build.

Looking good, I've been planning to buy some Alclad too. That painting is quite tricky? But anyway, what you did with it, looks very good to me, and I'm sure that Lotus will be great build when finished. Hopefully today I have some time to take my Corvette Finally back to the bench.

Very interesting subjects you have there. That Corvette on the right, is it going to be Super Gas car? It just looks like it.

Yeah, that's true. But I still want to build it.
