Thanks Pat ! Really nice stuff , I also bought the MGB-GT from them .

This is a neat little 3D printed kit by C1 Models with lots of little parts plus some photo-etch . I've never built anything like this before and found out immediately just how fragile these parts are . . . my very first "snip" to remove the excess plastic resulted in a broken top bar on the frame ! It was easily repaired and a lesson was learned . Here's what you get in the kit . The only thing I added was a small block to insert the cables from the handle bars and from the frame , so it could be displayed without the VW fender . Here's more finished photos , thanks for looking !

They say they are working on the box art and decals for a couple different versions including the "American" dragster which is what Monogram based the original kit on . It will be molded in white and release is scheduled for September 2021 .

Those wheels look awesome , let us know how the shipping time is from Ukraine . I'm also a bit disappointed to see this kit is molded in orange (?) , I wasn't aware of that .

Good idea Steve . I'm already working on one idea to replace the speedo and will also give the casting idea a try , I have some clear casting resin that I can use . One of these ideas should work ,Thanks !

Thanks very much guys !

Thanks Steve ! I also tend to go back later and change things or add details I forgot or never thought of doing in the first place , that's why I never paint anything until it's ready for assembly . One feature of the dashboard I've always liked is the "See-Thru" speedometer , I remember as a kid sitting behind the steering wheel and just barely being able to see through it ! I've thought about this one a long time and decided to first see how a home made shroud might look . Satisfied that a home made shroud is possible I proceeded to modify the dash . First step was to fill the recess on the underside with some polyester putty . Once hardened I removed the molded-on shroud using a Dremel , a small pencil grinder , and some files . After a little trimming I set the new shroud in place with some Tacky Glue . It still needs some refining and the front edge needs to be tapered but it will definitely work ! Thanks for looking ! More to come . . .

I'm sure some of you have seen this test shot from Atlantis but for those that haven't . . .

Never seen the show but I love your build , great job !!

Beautiful !! Very well done Clive and welcome back to the hobby .

That maroon is going to look sharp when it's finished ! Nice job on the coil springs , getting the sizes right can be a real pain .

Really !?!? That's awesome !!

Thanks guys ! To be honest I didn't plan on making working sunvisors , I just thought it was an easy way to make and attach them . That they actually work is a nice bonus !

Cool ! Glad you were able to replace the photos ! I've got one of these planned , also in black with a red interior .

Didn't have to think about it very long . . . trimmed down the sunvisors and they look much better . Now I can move on .

I made up the sunvisors using .020" brass rod and styrene sheet , then cut .010" sheet that wraps over the brass rod when glued . Then .020" styrene rod was glued around the edges . Also added the uniquely shaped mirror . The sunvisors were mounted by drilling the edge of the extra thick windshield , a little scary but it worked okay . I also added the strikers for the top latches . Made from some channel with a small rod glued to the top , they came out much better than I expected ! Looking at photos online the Dodge sunvisors are larger than most other cars but I may have made them too big . I think I can remove the piping without damaging the visors and trim them down a little . Still thinking about that .

Looking forward to this one Lee , that Emerald Green looks great ! I've got a Meyers Tow'd I've been wanting to build for a while now , maybe yours will motivate me .

Hey Jim , here's the Corvette ! I've got both of these , they're both typical motorized Japanese kits .

Lookin' good Jim ! That Vallejo paint looks pretty good to me , not chrome of course but more like a polished metal .

Great job so far with the steering wheel and I'm sure you won't quit until it's how you want it . I usually don't see things like that until after I take photos .

Thanks David !

The one I did worked great , it fit perfectly over the hypo tubing I used for the antenna .

Sounds great David ! Would really like to see one of those resin kits go together !

As Steve suggested the boot needed to be tapered much more , so instead of starting over I went ahead and worked on it with some sanding sticks . Much better now but I need to rethink the snaps . I'm going to try these for the snaps , the solid ones should work . I used one of the washers for the antenna base on my '71 Roadrunner and it worked great except that they're very hard to hold on to !

Thanks much Wayne !
