Very interesting discussion about the function of the rear hatch. I think, the hatch with the bumper is too heavy. If i remember at the hitch from my VW Transporter, where the gas struts are weakly and i always had to hold it with one hand...sometimes, the hitch fall without warning down... My intention is the same like David says. I will make some lines on the model and a photo, then i post it - what i mean i can not draw it with the computer like you Harry. Youre lines look very realistic! Is this the reason, why they canceled the "trubinecarprojekt" without any other variants ? Only built a 2-Door sedan? Just kidding...i know about the history of the Turbinecar

oh man, such a coooool kit - i'm just waiting and waiting and waiting... for the ordered kit . I like the hudson since the "cars"-movie and it is a "must have" as it came out this year. go on, buddies! want to see more makes time for waiting of mine shorter.

Looks good Phillip, like it!

Cool idea - like it. can you make mor pics from it? Very clean build!

Here it is the result: Now, still wet grinding, the fin on it and turn the finals clear lacquer. Finish: Thanks for your patience and watching.

I have the board with mahogany stained and sealed with clear lacquer. Then wett sanded the board... ...and painted...and wet sanded again and again... I do not know how many layers I had in the meantime it. But: I get to design. First I took masking tape and taped off the desired median strip, ... I mixed with appropriate color brown/yellow/white painted, the strip and finally a coat of clear lacquer: Next Step. i took a "postit" ...Only took about a center line and the base of the graphics, ... ...Cut and placed on the board. I used to use a second template, ... ... 0.2 mm Gun and colors of yellow, orange, red, gold, silver.

Thank you buddies! here i go with the finish of the surfboard: Well, I made next to the fin before i made the final paintjob. For this I took a peace of styrene, 1mm thick rough on it and paint me the form I imagine Then really generous cut and sanded according to my traditional methods... Now I have robbed the fin in strength, in which I do at my table edge for better lifting I sanded flat ...... ... Corrected again and cut to length: ... So I can fix them better on the surfboard. So, not glued or less blunt.

Now I grind the surface smooth and begins to work the edges. Everything in the hand ... ...where I'm feeling more - I do not want to do it broken. Now I have change to finer sandpaper, up to 1000, so the surface is very smooth. Well, here are the results: Keel (bottom) ... ... Deck (top) ... ... Times and starboard (right):

Then I cut back ... ...and flat front. The front I put on a ruler, ... ...loops around the top is very flat to.

An excerpt from my building report - hope you can understand it: What do I need if I do not want to handle with plastic plates? Model strips - three in their masure 10x3mm: I had begun three strips to glue together. I recorded my first rough shape of a surfboard according to my ideas ... ...and cut it out.

Thank you Mike - was a great day to make photos. Sorry Jim! That trip was years ago but i always must think about it. It was great...If i will travel to FL again, i will send you a mail and say "Hallo"! And sorry again for posting it - its not my intention, to damaging your health. But if it consoles you: the TV doesn't work Wich water do you mean? The water under the jetski is out of this Kit: There is a pre-painted base inclusiv. The water on the diorama i had made with silicone and pencil. To give you a tase, here a picture before and after build the surfboard: upcoming wip-details from the board...

Thank you very much for these words. Thank you! My idea is, that only the window will open to the roof. When i build it again (i will do), i test a opening version of it and make it in showroomcondition. Thanks for the link Kris.

That was on my mind, if i looked at the pics. Great work!

Nice! Color and rims are working good together - like it

Hi Danny and Gordon, you have a very good eye that you seen it in this picture - my compliment! @Harry and Rob: the TP was the last thing i had done on it. Dont know, how i came on this little detail...

Thank you for kind comments! Thanks a lot! Thank you doc, its always a pleasure. I build a base for it: For more, please >klick here<

Thank you for comment Rick! I know what you mean And Mike - you caught me! I was in Florida for holiday and -ups! - sure there where no plates in front. How could i forget this? I don't know... I forgot something too. The trailer from the jetski... ...and the guy, if he is not sleeping see you soon

phuuu....thanks for patience.

...

Now take a look inside: a fast overview... ...and some closeups: ...

and an overview: stay a minute, to go inside the camper.

Hi everybody, here i want to show you some pics (a lot of pics... ) from my open road camper and his diorama. It is the second part of the kit from Model King i used in "the look behind the track"-dio. I had a lot of fun in this build and tested some more technics, for example make water, work with decalsofter, airgun, wood, napkins and so on... Enjoy all the pics and dont be afraid to ask "how you made this or this" - i will not bite
