  1. Oh yes, thank you Adam! You are in! Thank you for entering. It's great to hear when old modeler says that is coming back to building model cars. My dad started few year ago too, he had about 20 years break. But anyways, that Formula one car is acceptable, so thank you for entering to this community build!
  2. Thank you John and David! Today I did some small things. I made fan wings thinner... They were too thick originally... I used that hobby knife firts, then I used 120 sanpaper to make them a little smoother. Then I used file to make them ready. Now it's looking much better. I also took the steering wheel off from the tubes, but that part needed some putty. Comments are of course welcome...
  3. Today I got decals for this one. They are now those correct ones. My kit had originally the same Drag On Lady decals than '69 AMC AMX Super Stocker has. And now I have those correct ones, that's good. They are looking very good.
  4. Great thanks to Mark! You are in. Good choice for that, it looks very good when finished.
  5. WOW, you got some great talents!!! Now you would put that AMT body and Modelhaus frontend together...? It's great to see that someone builds these wagons, I would like to build these too but almost always it needs expensive resin body... Too expensive to me. I have Jimmy Flintstone '60 Nomad resin body... But back to yours, it's looking very good, there is big conversion behind, very good job with it! I like it very very much... Nice scratch work with that interior also. There is good colour on it. Paintjob is looking very good and detailing on the engine is AMAZING!!! It's just beautiful, exellent!!!
  6. Nice job with it. That Citation is very ugly car, I think and it's pretty weird choice to build model kit of this from Revell... But with lowrider parts, came with the kit it would be looking worse... But anyways, nice paintjob, good detailing on the engine and that interior work is amazing! Vert good looking model all the way. Like it.
  7. Here is just a little update to you. I installed the rear axle system to place, for a good 70's style Hot Rod stance, I used those little pieces to make rear end higher. Now it will be as high as it is in my Gasser Nomad. Frontend will be on normal height. I also installed brake lines to rear wheels, I must only install that line between rear tube and the master cylinder. Now it's ready for some front axle systems and engine. I got some material to plug wires on saturday (November 6th), when it is model car show in Turku, Finland... This continues soon, I think if I have any time to build. Comments welcome...
  8. That's a great start for your Fairlane. Looks good! The situation of my Corvette: Still waiting for some stripper for paint, I must get it soon. I post pictures when I have something to show you. Now this community build is started, but more entrys would not be bad thing! Get in!
  9. Ooh, looking very good! Detailing is perfect as always, paintjob looks good, nice job all the way. I can't say more, it's just amazing build!
  10. MORE PICTURES, PLEASE! But this one is looking very good! I like nostalgic gassers, the stance is looking great, those front wheels and tires are perfect and those slicks on the back are looking very good too. That's looking very very good!
  11. That's very nice that Vega is very rarely seen model car.. Paintjob looks cool and detailing is very nice. Like it a lot. That frame is looking good. There is no any mistakes. Thank you for sharing this one.
  12. It's nice to see someone building something stock! Looking very good, nice paintjob, that wooden bed looks cool and that engine is looking very good. Like it, nice details all over and what I can see from that interior picture, it looks good too.
  13. Nice models! This would be nice to see built like diorama. You know, what I mean? But those models are looking very good!
  14. Oh yes, it's very nice. Ugly wheels but otherwise very good looking Gremlin. This is something you can't see every day. Paintjob looks very good, that detailing looks very nice. Pictures from engine or interior?
  15. WOW! That's very nice model, it's very big conversion. Paintjob looks good, engine detailing is amazing and that is very good idea for that new Camaro. I'm not a fan of these but this one is very very nice. Thank you for sharing it!
  16. That's looking good. I like that colour on it and paintjob looks great! Goos job with all those details on the engine and interior looks very good too! It's nice to see this finished. I was looking for that WIP topic, it was great! Thank you for sharing this one!
  17. Thanks, Len! This is great kit! I'm not going to build it box stock, I must enter some details there... Now it has been other things, like 1:1 car, it takes lots of time from these, but I try to continue this one pretty soon.
  18. Thank you, rustybill! Now I have done some more body work, but I can't spray primer on before I get some material for taillights...
  19. Looking good so far. Put those normal size wheels, those big ones are looking ugly, I think. It looks much better with those normal wheels... I'll be watching this project for sure.
  20. I got this for free while back. It's Monogram's '57 Chevy Bel Air with 283'' SBC. I'm building it like 70's Hot Rod style so I put rear end high and frontend will be quite low... Then it looks right. Wheels are going to be those, came with the kit; 5 spoke chrome wheels with Good Year tires. I'm not sure, am I building it to BoxStock or am I adding some details to it. This Monogram kit is not so great that I can build it box stock too but still I'm not sure... Fuel Injection system is good for this and some speed/custom parts. Lots of chrome will added to this. Body is painted with Revell enamel #30 red. It's painted by Badger 250 Spray gun. That's very good spray gun, I think and it's quite easy to use... There is NO polishing, clear or something. It's just waxed. Thank you for looking, comments welcome! Interior is painted by Revell red and white. I used no tape to help the paining progress, so I have to make it a little better yet... Front seat is now painted by red but it need just more white... Chassis is first painted by Revell mattblack, then I painted the frame gloss black, then exhaust pipes by Revell silver. No tape used with this either... Everything was molded to one piece, that's very stupid, I think. This system was molded to one part too. It wasn't so tricky to paint but it would be better... Continues soon, hopefully...
  21. Yes, there is waiting few hours in Frankfurt (two hours or something like that...)
  22. Wow, very good looking Satellite! Big conversion behind and it's very nicely done! Lots of sanding... Good job with it. I'm a fan of 4D cars in this scale, in 1:1 it must be 2 door... Nice paintjob on it, great detailing and of course it looks like Satellite. Home made is home made! Great, I like it very much. Thank you for sharing it!
  23. So we are coming to Orlando in February 10th to 19th 2011. But our flight leaves from HelsinkiVantaa airport at February 10th and we are back home at February 19th. I can't wait to get there! Only one bad thing: it's 16 hours flight with one plane change at Frankfurt...
  24. Very nicely detailed! Like these Funny Cars a lot and this one looks very good. That paintjob and those decals are very nice ones, and that frame looks very good too, detailing is very nice as I said... There is no things to complaine. Very nice job with this, thank you for sharing!
  25. Thank you, for the comments guys! Yes that taillight needs a little of fine sandpaper for a shiney finish. That's very simple job, but it's quite hard to make same looking lights... I can't remember right now, when I'm coming to Orlando, Florida but I post the date later today. This one is not very far from first primer coat, but then it needs lots and lots of more sanding so that's not the final primer coat. I modified those headlight visors a little better. Now they are fitting better to this smooth look, I think... Here is a picture to you. Better? I think so but what you think...?
