dimebolt Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 Here is finally my first real work in progress since late 2012. Wasn't really able to build for a long time, but I'm spending a few hours a day again and it feels great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Think you can get it finished by the end of the month? If so, I invite you to come join the Bring Out Your Dead Completion Build. You CLEARLY qualify. If you can't get it done by then, and we do a Round 3 (ending at the end of June), you should be able to gitter done by then.

dimebolt Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 Snake45, i just started this one about a month ago, lol. I haven't built anything else since late 2012. This one is all new. I'm not going to try to rush it, as I'm building this for a contest. Shooting for April 10th. Still for some reason tells me upload failed when I try to post pics. I've got quite a bit more progress made than what's in the pics that did go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were saying you hadn't worked on this model since 2012. Oops! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy124 Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 The start looks good and I love that purple. Is it Plum Crazy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimebolt Posted March 15, 2019 Author Share Posted March 15, 2019 It is a Sally Hanson nail polish called Rock Bottom. I have about 30 or so more pictures to upload, but it the upload fails every time I try to upload pictures. Managed to get two uploaded, but hasn't let me do it since.

I didn't use the Createx on this .I am doing some experimenting with it on another car. Not really satisfied with the way it cures. Seems to take way too long to dry. But if you can get it to lay down smooth, I've found that I can spray it down with a coat of Testors wet look clear lacquer, it can then be handled after several hours, and wet sanded safely after a day. As far as mixing it has directions on the bottle. I don't have one handy at the moment, but it said, and I can't remember the sizes; that with a tip for bigger spray, you do not have to thin it. When I get to my bench I will give you more detailed instructions. Edited March 15, 2019 by dimebolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
