TimJ Posted June 30, 2021 Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) Great job Snake! I've been busy with the Testarossa, painting more slats and grilles (never again) and adding the rest of the parts. The only thing I needed to add to the interior was the rear screen. One of the last jobs was to make a replacement mounting panel for the tail lights as the original had gone missing last century. I was able to use some styrene sheet to make something close to the orginal. A coat of satin black and it was ready to be fitted. Once that was done it was just a case of fitting the body and adding the exhaust tips.So, after 25 years, I finally gotter done! I'll try not to leave it so late next time but there's nothing like a tight deadline to focus the mind. ? Edited June 30, 2021 by TimJ

TimJ Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 Looking good Tom. It's probably it's the lighting but it looks a darker shade of red than it did in the earlier pics. I've managed to get five stalled builds over the line in the last four rounds that would probably still be in their boxes if the BOYD didn't exist. Who knows how many I'd have got done if I'd joined in at the beginning.

Tom Geiger Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 Okay! Pushing it across the finish line! Still a few things I’ll go back and add. Then I can glue the body to the chassis. Otherwise, mission accomplished! After 25 years of hanging out, I’m amazed to see it sitting there!
#1 model citizen Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 Snake, Tim & Tom your builds all look fantastic! I hope to cross the finish line in the next round perhaps along with your next BOYD projects. Congratulations on finishing this round!
bobthehobbyguy Posted July 1, 2021 Posted July 1, 2021 Tom I just love that Stude. Congrats to all who got projects f7nished. A shout out to Snake for starting this great thread! 1

TimJ Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) Some better pics of the Ferrari. As you can see the tail lights are barely visible between the slats so I could probably have gotten away with not fitting them. Now, what to pick for the next round? Edited July 2, 2021 by TimJ
Tom Geiger Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 So where is Mr Richard Snake with the end of quarter report?

dave branson Posted July 3, 2021 Posted July 3, 2021 Hey Snake put me back in this round with the Monogram 1/24 Bad Medicine, should not take long to finish.
dave branson Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 Well I was late on the Bad Medicine, however I did get it done . Here are some pics
dave branson Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 Snake I am in on the next build with Tamiya 1/24 Honda S2000. Started this about 4 yrs ago

TimJ Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 (edited) The Bad Medicine looks cool Dave, don't think I've seen one in black before. As it was finshed a few days late for the last round does this make it the first completion of this round? I'm in for this round, subject still to be decided. Edited July 7, 2021 by TimJ
Tom Geiger Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 Just waiting for our sponsor to declare the results from this round and kick off the next one! I have a few candidates of ancient projects to choose from!

#1 model citizen Posted July 8, 2021 Posted July 8, 2021 I will continue on with the ‘56 Chrysler for sure. Maybe I’ll dig out something else out of the crypt too, before the next round ends…. ?

I think I came in, late, this round, anyway, as I was finishing the Mack, when this round started.
