typewriter parts?

I almost always buy kits for subject matter, but kit price also tends to be a factor. Sometimes I don't have the cash to play with sometimes so I'll try to get something cheap. I tend to stick with cars mostly, but I've got a few starships and some anime girls. Box art doesn't matter as much as kit accuracy and quality. I'm perfectly happy buying a kit without a box. So far the only thing I dont care for on model building is painting the body. I dont have a set place to paint the body or set up an airbrush and I suck at spray painting, so I end up having to strip them pretty often. As far as real vehicles I would like to have. I'd want two of my old cars back: my 1972 Buick Skylark hardtop and my 1978 Monte Carlo. I'd also like to have a couple of my brother's cars, an '81 Firebird and a 1971-1973 Dodge Charger. Beyond that, maybe a "land yacht" Cadillac, like a 1973 Brougham.

Testors clear parts adhesive for glass and non-stressed parts. CA for parts that take a little more stress, carefully applied with a toothpick.

I use them all the time for various things. They're great for interiors and detail painting.

What about the '53 Ford convertible?

Only problems I have with scratch building is just having hammer hands. Big fingers and tiny parts do not mix well

This is good to know. I just got one of these in yesterday.

The lines on the rear end remind me almost of a taller Subaru BRAT. I'd consider removing that rear cover altogether if possible.

I usually pin things together with flower wrapping wire. Got a bit the exact size of the wire.

Flat black, semi-gloss black, flat white, flat red, aluminum, steel and some custom mixes for replicating rust or a wash for metallics.

Been working from home since thursday last week. I've been tinkering with model kits between calls. Got my 1962 Chrysler 300 convertible torn down and repairing.

Looks like it'll be a nice save. Good luck!

Um.... Wow! Looks like you could get in and start it. Fantastic job!

Looks awesome!

The top ones look good, but the bottom set looks better and fits the car.

There are older kits by Hubley of the 1960 wagons just like this one and they aren't very expensive normally. They appear to be the same scale as the AMT Starliner kit.

That's got some nifty stuff! Might have to look into that.

Looks amazing!

Sweet! Going to get at least one of these.

I hope mine comes out half as well as yours did. I think it's going on the bench as soon as I finish the car I'm working on now. I've got a series in mind that I'll post when they're all done.

Got a Jo-Han 1962 Chrysler 300H convertible from eBay. It's in really nice shape.

Hard pass. Wouldn't want a crossover IRL, don't want to build one either. I've considered the Azera, though.

Awesome! Can't wait to see where this goes.

The rear frame looks amazing! Love watching your work.

I dig it!
