TedD Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 Here's my first build in 30+ years. Back then, my models were pure glue bombs. Its not complete but starting to resemble an old time gasser and am pretty happy with it so far. Not doing much detailing as that will come with time as I get more builds behind me.
espo Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Very nice and it looks like you found a one of the early kits with opening doors.
cobraman Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Looks like you did a great job on that kit.
Greg Pugh Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 You picked a booger of a kit to wrestle as your return to the hobby! But it looks like you won! Nice job!
TedD Posted December 22, 2015 Author Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) You picked a booger of a kit to wrestle as your return to the hobby! But it looks like you won! Nice job!LOL.. Booger is an understatement. I did struggle with a few things but learned a lot in the process. Looking forward to the next challenge. Edited December 22, 2015 by TedD
madhorseman Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 (edited) I agree, it's looking really good! Edited December 23, 2015 by madhorseman
62rebel Posted December 23, 2015 Posted December 23, 2015 I just finished up the same kit, but fudged on the color a bit as I didn't have the right one. It's the first OOB drag car I've done since Johan had the Sox and Martin 'cuda on the shelves.

It's the first OOB drag car I've done since Johan had the Sox and Martin 'cuda on the shelves.The color is close enough for me. Its sprayed with craft acrylics and clear coated with minwax gloss clear acrylic.
62rebel Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 I decided to build something absolutely straight from the box... believe me, that's tough. What was tougher was wading through reference material which was sketchy at best on absolutes... the car as depicted on the box probably only existed in that configuration for a relatively short time. As a companion piece for it, I built the reissue AMT '37 Chevy in gasser mode... again, trying to use only what came in the box, although I did add inner rear fender panels to close that enormous gap
