Love the meteor. Very nice job. I'd love some pics of the mustang too

We are in central California and at 11:00pm it's still 93 outside. We've been at 109 for the last couple days but at least we don't get high humidity. I work outside for ten hours a day so haven't gotten anything done on my models for over a week. The other problem is that while my workroom is our air conditioned spare bedroom, my paint room is the garage which is neither cooled nor insulated.

I did up a nitrous bottle recently for my volksrod build from a plastic hanger. The hanger I used had a little hook on each side for dress straps or something. When I cut the hook off it was perfect. I drilled down from the rounded end and glued a small nail into the hole. Paint and a decal made from a web graphic did the rest

By god that's nice! I love the paint and detail. Awesome build
-
Looks awesome. Keep up the good work. I love it
-
On second thought, perhaps we should start a new gluebomb thread and let the old stuff be removed to save room? Don't know if that's an issue. Either way I vote we keep a gluebomb thread going

I'd kill to have it 1:1 in my garage. Very nice
-
Very nice indeed. I love the detail and removing the roof to show it off is a great idea.

I have been enjoying this thread a great deal. I just realized that it's coming up on twelve months since we started this topic and it was set to run a year. I'd vote to keeping it going indefinitely. I've got two more I'm pulling out of the boneyard right now.

I find that I'm frequently checking the forum from my iPhone because it is more convenient. I havent been able to figure out how to post pics from my phone though The web site offers an IPS Community app which I assume makes this easier to do. Id appreciate feedback from anyone out there using this app.

I love that Fury roadster Chuck. I've looked all over the web and can't find anything on it. That's something I'd like on my shelf.
-
Wow! Very nice finish and the engine compartment is incredible. Keep up the good work.
-
Very nice build. Love the paint.
-
Looking good. I like the two tone

I'm thinking about doing a series of cars based on the "Cars" movies but using regular kits. So Petty Daytona, Hudson for racing version of Doc etc. so I'm trying to figure out what to use for McQueen. Any ideas?

I think I started actually building models when I was about 9. I was in the model of the month club (was that Revell?) and signed up for cars, boats, planes, spaceships, whatever theyd send me. I do have a picture of me when I was about 4 or 5 with a black primer "hot-rodded" model someone had built for me. Think it was a Plymouth Duster which woulda been new since that was in 69 or 70.

I just painted a Revell 1/24th Shelby Mustang GT350H and will be applying the decals soon. I remember the reviews on this kit indicating a problem getting the dual stripe to sit right over the hood and scoop. I'm debating if I should try the decal or just mask the stripes and paint it. Anyone out there had experience with this kit? I'd appreciate some feedback.
-
Absolutely awesome! I love the concept and the build is coming nicely. Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the final pics.
-
Sweet! Keep going!
-
Nice concept. Looking forward to more build pics.
-
Nice work. Been thinkn about doing one of those trailers myself. Looking forward to seeing how this all comes together. You gonna match the paint on the trailer?
-
Absolutely love the two tone paint on this car. And the stripe does set it off. Very nice. I think I agree that the hood seems a little extreme for this build. What's under the hood?

Since we all have so much spare time and there aren't nearly enough CBPs I'm gonna propose another.
I'm calling it the "Odd Rods" because I'd like to push us all in a different direction. What im picturing are hot rod/muscle cars that are not what we normally think of. For this CBP I'm proposing that we skip the Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes and duece coupes we all love and put something out of the norm onto the table. Maybe an Edsel gasser or a full blown Jaguar. How about a Mini Cooper with an LS engine (dont know if thats even doable) or maybe a Rat Rod made from a Duesenberg. Something different.
If there's enough interest then Ive got a BMW 635 sedan I've been thinking about doing up with a blown small block Chevy V8 with all the fixings. If not I'll put it in "on the workbench".
Let me know what you think

Does that kit come with the trunk and doors open or did you do that?
Is it too late?

It's never too late. I've been in and out of this hobby since I was a kid but most of what I would call skill has only come in the last few years. And I just completely screwed up my most recent paint job after several beautiful ones in a row. And what makes it worse is that I used all the same primer and paint as the last one. Stuff happens. Hang in there.
