What Did You Accomplish Today? (Model Car Work)

[thatz4u]

fade painted another funnycar body, started finish coat on the stockish 56 F-100

[Lownslow]

Finished a 65 gto interior and working on the custom hard cover vert boot

[JollySipper]

Painted the Z/28 over the last two days.......... Yesterday was primer day, today paint and clear. I'll be using the white stripes, and the interior is in an above post painted black....

 

[TransAmMike]

Well I finally got the Nova painted...Mr. Hobby gold over a dark clear red.  Not polished, and not sure yet if hi-gloss clear

Just finished last night installing the pins for the interior cover on the cobra. They are really small. Here is a size comparison with a dime. And they only give you the exact amount. Do not lose one. The pins are the size of the “I” in liberty in the dime. This is 1/24. I do not know how the 1/43 guys even see anything.

Just about finished. Windshield was a bear. As tough as this mfh kit was, I still loved to build this. You do not see many completed.

Painted wheels and body and added rear windscreen a right pain!

A scratchbuilt chassis as the original was used on a Nascar Tradesman's Truck last year!

Stunning work

Screeded some Tamiya white putty into the pinholes on the new f'glass decklid for my Sock It To Me M/SP Corvette.

Pretty exciting, eh?  

[MeatMan]

I'll do Bill one better.
Put the caps on the wheels to my Crosley fuel altered. ?

Bought the amt 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona kit; a neat find. It’ll be a while before I build it as I have a ‘61 Galaxie show car waiting in the wings. But it’s an accomplishment just getting it.

[JollySipper]

I finally finalized the direction I wanted to go with this build........ The reason it has been an off-again on-again project is it lacked direction. Just need to mount the engine, then I can glue everything down for good.

Forgive the dust, that will be cleaned before the Under Glass post, I promise!

Ok, I've been at the bench again after some frustrating time off for health issues.  Got these done for our local club auction(all proceeds to the club).  The rims are machined on my Sherline mill and lathe.  They are each made of three pieces of 7075 aluminum.  The lugs are machined by RB motion.  The tires are parts from the scrap box.  The Goodyears were painted on with a stencil that I bought many years ago in Japan. The axles were machined to the type that Tamiya uses.  
  It feels good to be back at the bench.

Good to see you back at it, Pete. 
Don't know if it's just me but I can't see the photo. Sounds awesome though. 
 

Edit: I see them now. They look fantastic. That's a very nice set of slots.

Taking a class in digital car modelling, it is not easy.

Is that a 1973 Reliant Regal Supervan Robin 3 Delivery Microcar?

Wow - sounds like you know more about it than I do!  But yes, I think so ?

This’ll be a fairly involved project…not many kitbashable parts to use for a 3 wheeled English fibreglass micro-van from the 70s.

I DID print some tiny 10” steel wheels for it today though…

Funny story how I know that; a few years ago I was looking through the pages of an AutaBuy magazine and one of the cars for sale was this car and the ad title was "1973 Reliant Regal Supervan Robin 3 Delivery Microcar" and I thought that was such an odd name for a car, and it just stuck with me; refering to that name makes me sound smarter ?

I was able to get my Hasegawa Type 2 Pick Up painted today. The top is Tamiya Pure White and bottom color is Tamiya Lin Gray. I also got the fender painted for the C1 Models Beetle fender scooter Tamiya Red. I hope to have it all in clear soon?

Over the last 2-3 days a card, ROKR Bulldozer.
