Nice Stuff!!! Id like to buy a 92 civic!!!!!

Great job Peter.

very cool.

wow! Very good!

Thanks mike! I guess ill go the traditional way this time, since I dont have extra parts just laying around. I might do some more work tomorrow. I got other parts painted today.

Thanks for the update. Im building one and dont know how to lower the truck. Noticed u painted the parts on the tree still. Maybe im doing it all wrong lol

LOL Thanks Brett. hum being my first model... i know it wont be to pretty. I know i screwed up already with the side vent windows with the glue as far as the lowering its a AMT model kit.

Is it just me, or does the rear and especially front windshield of my cameo fit like poop?

Looks awesome!

Looks good. any pic from when u were working on it?

Hello! this is my first time building a kit, and wow you guys rock. Ive been lurking on the site and you guys have mind blowing kits. congratulations! They look amazing!!!!! I hope I get to your level some day. Here's a pic with what im working right now, I want to lower it. If you know how to lower this truck let me know! Anyways Ill keep you guys updated with the build in this thread http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=54356&pid=630420&st=0&#entry630420 I just wanted to introduce myself, I didnt know there was this many builders!

Thanks Austin. Sweet sounds interesting let me know when u start.

Hello Every one! My name is Luis, but lots of people know me by pancake. Its been my forum nick name for years and I have been in the automotive scene for quite some while, imports to be exact and had a civic featured in a magazine last year. Anyways this is my first time building a model car. In this case a truck. SO sorry if its terrible! ha. I dont know where you guys get aftermarket wheels, or how to lower my model a bit, but im going to try it. Anyways on to some pictures and my progress. 1) Well took a photo of the cameo before I painted the cab. Decided to go with Blazing Metallic black from testors. 2) Here's a pic of the cab painted. I did 3 coats of testors Lacquer Blazing black. Im pretty happy with the results. Zero drips or runs, this is my first time spray painting a plastic model truck. I also painted the frame flat black. dash board, steering wheel are match painted to the exterior of the truck. But I decided to go with red seats. The seats only have one coat of paint and I havent taken a picture yet. Would love to get to meet more fellow model car builders. So please comment on my thread. I will keep you updated. Plans: Bigger motor. Dont know what yet. But the small 265 v8 wont cut it. LOL Id like to lower it. But would like for it to roll.. i dont know if thats possible .... sugguestions?

Wow some amazing stuff in this thread.

does it roll that low?

I like it!

Wow very detailed. Nice.. im building one currently as well.

Wow great job! I just started on mine... but I have lots to learn. I need help with the lowering!
