Modelbuilder Mark

Way to go Terry and anyone else that has lost weight like that. Glad yo hear yuo are gaining some health, and adding BUILDING years to your life!

That looks Great!

Wow, nice representation here from Indiana. I am FROM Anderson/Pendleton area, but now reside south of Phoenix, AZ.

Ohh, I am liking this

I SOoo wanted to go, but I have to work :-(

I had the 74 Hornet Hatch, white with blue interior. I used to keep the back seat down so that it felt like a two door sport car! LOL It was fast, but since it was a manual 3 speed with that V8, it always wound out too soon. Oh, and that linkage would often stick when I would go from reverse, so I would have to reach under and wiggle it! LOL It was a blast tho. I had it in 82-83

Thanks, Even tho the Red Barron kit is 1/24 the rims worked out great in the newer AMT tires. The red went on a couple days ago, but since I used enamel, will have to wait a few more days to polish it out, decal it, and then clear. Thanks Bill, it was an idea that I thought would flow better than it did. It kinds feels a little more cobbled together than I was hoping, but for the most part convincing I hope. More pics this weekend.

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the knds words.

Thanks guys! I go the red sprayed on the body yesterday, so maybe I will be able to get most of it completed this weekend. Not sure, tho, normally I spray bodies with Lacquer but this time enamel, so there will certainly be some additional drying time. More pics this weekend.

Thanks Bill!

I would REALLY like to get my hands on one of these kits someday. I would like to make a stock version of a 1:1 I used to own.

Alright, test fitting everything before painting up the body. I know most guys remove the center of the roof to see th detail, but I like the top in place for this project. SOo..I have the body set up with retainers in the rear, and there will be "bolts" that hold the front side in place just at the base of the firewall. Hope to be doing final assmeply next weekend if paint goes well. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/uploads/med_gallery_8985_914_259175.jpg http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/uploads/med_gallery_8985_914_3314.jpg http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/uploads/med_gallery_8985_914_130261.jpg Not sure why these look so dark here, they looked Much lighter on my PC at home, uploading these from work.

This one is a phantom. here is the info on it http://www.showrods.com/gallery_pages/cinderellas_rod.html

Any idea on the scale?

Looks very sharp. I agree, a little chrome trim will go a long way.

I love the color variation and shading on chassis bits and pieces. What are you using for reference?

Thanks guys! I just got the o-rings I needed yesterday to finish the rear air bags, will try to have pics of that up tonight or tomorrow.

Oh yeah, VERY cool!

Alright, I have gotten some more work done on this one. Kinda hard to see from the pics, but I have it set up where the gear shift will actually connect to the transmission. I had one of these seats in the parts box, says Fiat on the bottom, pretty certain is is from the Double Dragster set. I made a resin copy. I scratch built the compressor and re-purposed the air-tank for the airbags. The rear brake lines are ran, and the electrical wiring started. Most of this will not be seen once the body is in place, so I will be rigging it up so that it will be removable. I have been adding a bunch of Grandt Line and similar bolt head detail.For the front end the brake lines will be ran "in the frame". Also some fine mesh for the radiator from the Red Barron kit.

Looks great!

Same as a few others, the clear coat and base coat did not agree.

Fantastic, I was just really looking forward to the show this year and wanted to make sure it was on. I tried to make it to the Tucson show but it turned out to be a bust for me.

I have not seen any flyers in the hobby shop, and I did not see the show listed on the club site, (unless I am looking at an old URL). Is there not going to be a Desert Scale Classic in Phoenix this year?

looking forward to the build
