Cool Hand

Instead of wasting your valuable time on a forum, maybe you could turn off the computer and go do something in the real world.

Wankers who have nothing better to do than jibber jabber wasting countless hours on this forum instead of being at their workbench doing something productive with their time. But I guess its easier to talk about building model cars than actually building one. Each to their own I guess.

How to make an engine stand

Outstanding amount of creativity and craftsmanship.

Rough surface is pebbling, most times it is caused by the paint drying before it lands on the surface. Factors that can cause it are: Air temperature. Shooting to far away from the surface. Incorrect ratio of paint to thinner. Other possible causes With dual actions, too much air not enough paint. And too much paint which causes over spray that gets drawn into the airflow then onto the surface of wet paint.

Aligned/attached the nose the best I could, then spent alot of time filling(with super glue) and sanding.

Thanks for the comments. Not really, but it did take a little bit of work though, I removed front inner guards from the body and rear wheel tubs from the chassis and then modified stock suspension to get it lowered. And being that it was built curbside I didnt have to re-build/re-work what was removed. Yes, but I donated the engine else where.

Another one of your builds that show's your creativity and skills, done well mate. Like the blue oval Ferrari logo.

Excellent build mate, always look forward to seeing your newly completed builds as its guaranteed the paint job will be killa and show your creativity and skills when it comes to laying down the paint.

Appreciate the comments. Decal on rear window say's Lead City Customs. It was built as a curbside so it has no engine and chassis wasnt detailed just painted matt black.

Built from this kit. Curbside build Paint. Body: Tamiya TS-14 gloss black. Interior: Tamiya TS-29 semi gloss black, XF-1 flat black and XF-19 sky grey. Alclad chrome applied to grille, headlight surrounds, shifter and steering wheel. Wheels: Aoshima

As always mate clean build and well detailed, agree with others that the venetians are a great addition and look the part. Kinda has a sleeper look to it.

Another build done in the exact same style as the 72 Chevelle I posted recently. This was built back in 2012 for a community build(2012 Lowrider tour) on this forum, but it seems I never posted it in the Under Glass section.

Built this couple years ago but never got around to sharing on this forum. Basically it was a quick build to get the creative juices flowing again and get me out of a rut/slump and motivated to build again. Total build time was around 48hrs. Being that it was built quickly, it has no chassis detail or engine so pretty much a curbside. As some of you might recognize its done in a style(my trademark colours you could say) that I have done many times before on other builds. Paint Body: Tamiya TS-14 gloss black Interior: Tamiya TS-49 bright red which was over-coated with Alclad ALC 314 klear kote flat Wheels Pegasus #1109 DZ's chrome with spokes painted/airbrushed with Tamiya X-1 black Normally dont polish or wax my black paint jobs, but needed to get out the polishing cloth's and wax on this one.

1 car and 1 motorcycle [ Pretty sure some of you have seen the chopper before. [

Any chance you could share/show some pics Roger.

As far as im aware they are all the same just re-released with different box art. Link's to instructions. http://manuals.hobbico.com/rmx/85-2052.pdf http://manuals.hobbico.com/rmx/85-4225.pdf

Which link did you copy and paste ?? I copied and pasted IMG link.

Thats all well and good if you only upload one at a time. But when im uploading 20 or more at one time, if I can reduce my upload time even if it is a few seconds then im all for re-sizing pics before upload. Just my personal preference.

Re-sizing the pictures/images before uploading to Photobucket will reduce the upload time.

You certainly got lucky finding and scoring all those kits Ray. Look forward to seeing you build them.

Yeah Andy is a nice helpful bloke, but Scaleautomobilia's website inventory is very rarely updated, so you have no choice but to ring him to see if what you want is in stock and order it over the phone. Scaleautomobilia

Im another who will recommend BNA model world, its my favourite place to go for supplies, huge selection of products .Quick processing and shipping. BNA Model world
