MININORTHFORDMAN Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 well the last few weeks i made great progress on the mustang i have it painted, the chassis and interior together and all i need is too make decals. i spiced it up by painting it metallic green instead of regular green.

Green Hornet (2011) Hey folks, we're just over that halfway point with the build process and we have some finished builds that are fantastic as well as other builds I hope will make some progress in the coming months (myself included lol) I haven't been able to get much bench time in latley due to my bathroom being gutted (by me, none the less)... But I'll get back to modeling when I get that knocked out soon I hope... So get into Model Mode! and remember, "It's Showtime!! Below are "Gutted" & "So far" photos of my bathroom project, sorry it's not a model (I wish it was) but in a way it's very similar... Laying tile is like the drum solo from that Phil Collins song... Slow and steady til the end and then it's a celebration! ? Edited June 28, 2020 by disconovaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1/24DragAndStreetCars Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Finally! Some progress! I had started cutting apart the old chassis of the 911 GT2 when work got PACKED. All this pandemic stuff has had me busy as can be with very little time for modelling. But I have made some progress! Got the chassis and suspension temporary glued into position, and began to smooth the body. Since this was made as a curbside kit, I cut out all of the faux engine detail and will be building it like a tube-chassis car. The engine is from the 'Bay which will be getting a moderately sized turbo to keep boost high and spool times low. Here's some pictures.

Gotta say... isnt that tap and spout going to impede movement into and out of the tub..? Tile work looks good, I like the edge tiles to finish?

I'm glad you noted that because I had the same question and I wanted it on the front end of the tub but the wife kept saying from a design perspective, it should be on the side. (Thanks Pintrest).? After I had it mounted, I was standing back looking at it and It suddenly dawned on me that I should've mounted it on the opposite side to get it out of the way... But I didn't say a word to her about that ?... She loves it and it's where she wanted it. I've seen her get in and out of it and it doesn't phase her.. She's happy so what more can I ask for? ? 1 hour ago, Belugawrx said: Nice progress on the bathroom ! Thanks... I guess it's not too bad for a beginner. ? But I don't think I want to see if I can do better next time... ??? I got models to build! I dont have time for this nonsense! ? I'm not quite finished with it yet so I better be careful what I say... I just wanna be done! Shower doors & Vantity install is next. Mounting double mirrors and what ever else she wants me to do! Ugh! ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avidinha Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 33 After 3 paint jobs I decided that it didn't need to be perfect. After I decided it didn't need to be perfect it seemed to progress a lot faster. I got the front end together with the TONY-P plaque on the front. I also modified the top of the grill so I could install the hood ornament like the 1:1. I also got the rear end and continental kit together. The only rear shot of the Caddy is too far away to make out the rear plate, so I knew I was going to have to make one to follow the rules. Mystery Men takes place in a fictional city, but I felt like it had a Detroit feel so I made some Michigan plates in black with white letters to match the front plaque. More next time.

disconovaman Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 (edited) Wow! I'm just in Awe with the Mystrey Men Cadillac! Best looking example of this kit by far! I want one now! Turned my back on one of the pre-painted jobs awhile back for 10 bucks now I'm kicking myself lol... I've desided that it's gonna be easier to seperate the Finished builds from the "In progress" or in my case (Stalled builds) ? with 40 builds in the running I think it will be better to see finished builds at the "Starting line" for me, seeing these will hopefully motivate the pack. Here are the current, and Very Impressive Starting Line-up Builds... ?10. Oldmopars -Marvel's Agents of S.H.E.I.L.D. 379 Peterbilt. ?19. spencer1984 - Hot Rods To Hell 58 Corvette ?25. 89AKurt - The Thomas Crown Affair 68 Ferrari ?13. Belugawrx- Shelby Cobra Gumball Rally (1976) ? 3. fivesuns -Dirty Mary Crazy Larry Dodge Charger ?33. avidinha- Mystery Men Cadillic I hope I haven't missed anyone... Please correct me if I'm wrong. I've sincerely enjoyed overseeing this year's CBR guys, dispite all the hurdles in my personal life... I never thought a new house would have me working and taking most of my spare time away... I'll be releived when the job is finished so I can get back to modeling "Full-time"... Edited July 8, 2020 by disconovaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disconovaman Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 Blacked out the Better Off Dead Camaro this morning while the temperature was still somewhat low (about 68 degrees) in the garage...

disconovaman Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Thanks... The goal is to start getting all the parts painted. I think I can make some actual progress then lol... I feel like Art is imitating Life and the scene in the movie where Lane, John Cusack's character finally gets the Camaro running... Only for me, painting is the accomplishment. Then it's off to the K12! Edited July 11, 2020 by disconovaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KWT Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Well I finally got to where I need to be to start on the bullit charger, and just like that... Screwed up a vital piece. So yeah... If the court would be so inclined to scrap my idea and grant me a pardon, Id like to rejoin with John Wicks mustang... I have the boss 302 here... I think I have the old mach 1 for a more accurate body in storage. About to remove the plastic and get started right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got a small hoard of those Revell Chargers...if I can help... Thank ya sir... Well... I knocked my glass over. Which knocked the body to the floor. I got up to get it. Hung my foot. Stumbled. Stepped on the body. I have another 69 charger in my cart to purchase, just haven't pulled the trigger. I just saw John Wick for the first time this weekend and have been trying to figure out what to do with this mustang anyway. Found the mach 1. Already making progress on the build. Hood scoop (not attached) from a revell 68, body from the mach 1, nose, hood and spoiler from the boss 302. Added evergreen below the doors for the chrome strips.

The Mach is the one that had the jacked up front end "headlights too low" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
