  1. couldnt find any pictures of that otherwise it would be 2 pieces
  2. I always go for shinny then hit it with 2000 grit then wax the finish looks about right
  3. Thanks, true but theres stuff being printed smaller than this and theyve come out great but this wont be hard to clean up found out they sell sanding sticks with points on them thats why i returned to making small items im also looking at a sand tumbler for projects like these
  4. first few attempts werent great but i fixed it got it close without pushing shapeways limits, the airhorn is for show so are the turbo splines.but i got it up on my site
  5. i would do that if i didnt have so much paint 3 drawers full and this mess
  6. this, but considering what revell has brought to the table in recent years they can kick rocks in that department, what annoys me is the crappy tires they come with like "hey lets make all our tires look like those crappy discount tires you get at wallmart" only makes the finished product look like something you rent at Avis combine that with crappy custom wheels and it looks like a old man that thought the 2200$ custom wheel option was a good idea.
  7. Wow thats a really good example of that kit.
  8. they were never narrowed tho not when they started using platform bodies the trunks do get shorter but i might be keeping it.
  9. model a rear fenders, packard front fenders, 77 cadillac promo base. the rest of the car will be sourced from various kits. im on the fence about the trunk i might bob it down a few scale inches to keep the stock bumper
  10. its been put away for a while but i put it up on FB see if something interesting comes along
  11. im gonna end up flipping this not happy with the fiesta wheels or anything else ive tried on it
  12. i wouldve but i lost the other 2 matching wheels i didnt really want to swap, theyll be other chances to bastardize another car.
  13. i ended up loosing the wheels i had planned on using and the substitutes werent any better so i decided to go Custom
  14. Its a Japanese thing traditionally seen on Bozosuku cars
  15. Nice work
  16. Waiting for the convertible but i love how this car looks
  17. supplies more than anything and got some of that microwaveable compound and its nice for what it does
  18. This is the closest one ive gotten to finish, its got a grainy texture to it but it sands really smooth with 320 some wheels are purposely made so that the texture cant be sanded off to give the wheels the finished casting look something thats kind of hard to do as it is..
  19. summer the latest i still have to test them out
  20. they went together really well. upon inspecting the hinge on the left will work with 60s door styles so its technically a 2 in one hinge, neither are direct fit but should work for at least a majority of hinge work
  21. Prototype 1 came in so far they looks like they take up the same footprint as brass hinges
  22. got my test hinges today and some special wheels for a build off.
