vamach1 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 (edited) It’s not been a productive building summer for me As I have been enjoying the outdoors more but I did manage to get most of the tree parts painted last night. The body was painted last year with the Testors colorshift paint to mimic the Mysticrome paint. Edited September 18, 2020 by vamach1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZanglia Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) Ok, Snake45, hit me up with the rules dude, I've got a kit thats been sitting on the shelf for nearly 5+ years with minimal work done to it other than some ejector pin marks filled and a splash of primer.

NZanglia Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 Thanks Snake. I can now remember why I shelved this kit so long ago and it can be summed up in 1 small acronym EPMs. Ejector Pin Marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZanglia Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Well I got the primer coat on the body. Dried nice and smooth. Then promptly dropped it and the separate a pillars decided to detach themselves. Repares in progress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(About both the number of suitable projects and the name of the build)? !!! At last count (10/13, just after I retired) I had about 65 unfinished projects, and although a few of those have since been completed, even more unfinished ones have been added.

Misha Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Back on July 2nd I declared being in on the builds for this round and even with all that is going on in life, I do have an update! I am still far from completion and now with summer winding down I’m back at the workbench. I’ve been planning, searching or building components to combine the 25 Tall T Coupe with the second version of the Ala Kart using the Ford V8-60 Flathead from the Kurtis Midget kit. I began with the chassis by stripping all the chrome bits, assembling the main components, followed by an application of Alclad chrome. This worked out quite well as greater detail appeared without the thick kit chrome, plus mold lines have been smoothed out, assembly was easier with bare plastic resulting in a stronger build. Afterwards my attention turned to the V8-60 wanting something eye-catching. A Scot style blower was a good choice, from I believe is the original 57Chev from AMT, topped by a pair of Strombergs. Mating the T body to the Ala Kart fenders went fairly smoothly. The firewall was moved back to provide room for the diminutive Flathead. The rear of the body received the most attention with the construction of a trunk to house the gas tank and a smoothing of the body lines in the transition from bustle to body. The paint scheme will feature a two-tone scheme of Pearl Light Red (TS59) & Lavender (TS37). Currently working on detailing the interior with the construction of the wind up rear window, panel lines for doors, and upholstery patterns while using the kit bench sofa! At this point I can see that I would need to continue into the next round. This is a great thread as it has helped drive to completing some special projects that have languished for too long. My previous completion was the Inca ? Jewel, a 49 Ford Coupe. Ahead, well there is a full shelf above my bench! Thanks Snake for creating this motivational thread, it has gotten a lot of us going again. Cheers Misha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 Great to see the collective efforts on here, good luck to those of you still trying to get one across the line. I'm still somewhat surprised I got mine done as quickly as I did, third completion of this round?! I'm usually a bit of a last-minute merchant, I could have given myself a few more weeks....... I shouldn't have finished-up my long-term Ferrari 308 build, or the Datsun Roadster, as they would have been an ideal entries for the next round. As it stands, I now have just two (maybe three) projects that I can consider next time, and none of them are going to be easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZanglia Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Kit really does show its age. Ejector Pin Marks and Sink Marks galore. but really enjoying the challenge of bending it to my will. Dispite the copious amount of clean up required.
