The Danish sprue wrangler Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 hey so just finished my Biggest Build yet i was pretty ambitious and just went for it . this build saw me trying airbrushing for the first time and also working with putty . i wanted to remove the Hump (trunk ) of the continental to make it look like my vision for it. and i also made the hood open side ways and lowered it . i had some problems along the way but it is only my 4th build ever . so all in all im very pleased with the result . i hope you guys like it . im very thankful for all the freindly folks that followed the build so many great and encouraging comments along the way . oh i keept the Trailer of the build tread but i used the Trunk area that i removed and build a little teardrop trailer around it . just for fun ... here it is so that is it . i really pused the limit of my skills on this . im still a noob afterall . anyway im pleased ...

Harry P. Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 That's not too bad for only your fourth model car. You were pretty ambitious, restyling the body and using putty. Nice result. One suggestion, though... your ignition wires are waaaaaaay too big. They look like garden hoses! You need to use much thinner material for ignition wiring (a tip for your next model car)...

bbowser Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Pretty cool, nice idea turning the trunk lid into a trailer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Spark plug wires aside, that's a pretty nice effort for a fourth model. I think my fourth model was the first one I painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
