    I do have a bit of a.d.d, but Im actually trying to get all these bodies painted and any others I feel like doing before the end of the aussie summer. I

    Well why not prepare another body, cant do much else when the temperature is 45'c / 113'f 🫠 So dug out a Holden LJ Torana kit from the stash and will be built Burnout car style.

    Few things from Plaza Japan. This will be very helpful with all the scribing I do on my builds Can never have enough of these cotton swab's. Couple Skyline kits. And got this from ebay.

    Second and final coat of surfacer applied to A9X. Used 1500 pink for a lighter foundation for the colour coat.

    I have been a long time user of Alclad for all my chrome painting. But I had seen some excellent results with SMS paints HyperChrome, so decided to experiment and learn how to use it on the HQ wheels. Very happy with the results. Also set the stance.

    WhiIe I wait for the surfacer to dry on the A9X, I dug out another kit to start preparing 😆 I have nothing better to do. This build is going to be inspired by a local car that started my liking for the HQ Holden sedan 30 years ago.

    Got the 64 Malibu of the paint stand and like always have to do a mock up.

    Thanks Bob appreciate it. The colour ive picked for the A9X will hopefully make it a looker for sure.

    So im still in a good frame of mind to do body prep and paint work, so got this Holden LX A9X Torana back on the bench.

    Thanks Brock, yes the inspiration for the LC is from a 90's era car. Thanks Steve, so glad the ideas for the Camaro are working out so far. Cant wait to do a proper paint mock up. Ha ha, no gravitational forces effecting the paint. Just good old perfect Australian summer weather. Appreciate the kind words. Thanks Steve C, appreciate the comment, second round of paint so much better.

    Colour coat applied.

    Thanks Bob, not bad for straight from the can. Plan to polish with Tamiya compounds so I hope that should take it to next level shine and increase to depth of the reflection. Ha ha, yeah l learned what I did wrong the first time. I made the mistake and applied the SMS Pearl Blue Berry over grey surfacer, its has to be used over a black base.

    Applied a new base coat of SMS paints Jet Black to this Holden LC Torana build, I wasnt happy with paint on it before so decided to do it again.
  15. Cool Hand
    Got the Skyline of the paint stand. Like always cant wait to do a paint mock up.

    Thanks Brian, SMS colour shift/chameleon paints are user friendly just a black base then build up with light coats to gain full coverage of the pearls. Like all things just takes practice and learning to gain an understanding of how things work. Thanks Jim appreciate the comment. Hope the overall look of the car is striking as well.

    Applied the colour coat to the Camaro, and finished the wheels.
  18. Cool Hand
    Appreciate the comment Bob, cant wait to remove them from the paint stands and do a paint mock up.
  19. Cool Hand
    Applied the usual Tamiya TS-14 black to the Ken Mary Skyline and the Malibu. Cant complain with the result, but im out of practice. I will make sure to get some better pictures when I take them of the paint stands.
  20. Cool Hand
    Finished the interior for the 64 Malibu.
  21. Cool Hand
    Thanks Bob, Im looking forward to finishing the wheels and piecing them together.
  22. Cool Hand
    Some SMS paints. Solar Flare and Holoshift are new releases
  23. Cool Hand
    I really like this build of Rogers, so many well thought out features and custom work. Smooth, clean and low.
  24. Cool Hand
    Bit of a preview. Got the wheels centres painted.
  25. Cool Hand
    Ha ha thanks Brian, the Mr Finishing Surfacer 1500 black is good stuff. Thanks Steve, hopefully get some gloss black on the Malibu this coming weekend. Then we will see how good it looks. Im very happy how the stance turned out on the Camaro, its spot on for sure. Nice and low and Hella Flush.
