Update,24.05.23, Nearly done, a few decals to add and an aerial, oh and look in spares for a w'screen wiper. Awfull kit, lots of flash and bad fitting parts, the two piece tyres were the worst, I couldn't find anything to stick them together, but when I did as soon as I tried to fit the on the wheels they split in half, horrible!

PatW Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I have yet another Tamiya Subaru WRX kit, bought as already started, the blue body in grey undercoat, so I've built so many blue ones, I gave it a wash and another grey undercoat and three coats of gloss white! The new decals landed today, they are for a 1999 Scooby and mine is a 2005! So a slight adjustment to the decals, but most of them are on.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomicholiday Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Got started rubbing out the clear coat on my Camaro build. Trunk and roof are thru 12000 grit now. It seems like lately I'm getting very little bench time in. If I'm really lucky I get half an hour. Too much other stuff going on right now, but it's driving me crazy! I WANT MORE MODEL TIME!

It's been interesting trying to figure out a pattern that looks good to me. I believe it still needs something. May try adding a bit of light (whitish-silver) gold or antique gold that I have.

CabDriver Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 We’ve had guests in town for the last two weeks, and it’s really messing with my bench time 🤪 Playing with a T Bucket frame though, and printing some parts when I get a few… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk11 Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 (edited) Finally got motivated to make the cuts on my unibody short box conversion. Another project received attention too; making cuts to turn a series lll Landy into a series ll with the 88" w/b and inner mounted headlights. This one will be somewhat un-stock, with my inspiration being the '66 Golden Rod V8 conversion ... Edited June 4, 2023 by mk11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlecan Dan Posted June 4, 2023 Share Posted June 4, 2023 Added a coat of Tamiya Pearl Yellow over a light grey primer to get a dead yellow color for my next 70's Modified. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Got some more progress done last night and today. Got the interior done and got the clear sprayed. Nothings perfect on it. Added some interface mica powder in the base and mid coats of clear for a bit more sparkle. Later- 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JollySipper Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Tom, that looks really good! I like seeing lowriders made from unusual subjects....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModWrench Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Picking away at closing some fairly large gaps in the body panels of this Nissan Can-Am race car. Getting close to acceptable tolerances. Also got some paint on the wheels and knock-offs. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CabDriver Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Got family in town still this week, so I’ve been learning some new techniques that may or may not ever be useful for a project. Today, I made an LED-augmented cloud: And then paired it with a 3D printed Statue of Liberty (with it’s own lighting) and put it in a clock dome case: Not strictly car related…but I’m thinking some of these tricks will be useful for a flying Delorean Back To The Future diorama build I’ve been thinking of for a while now… Edited June 6, 2023 by CabDriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hedotwo Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 (edited) Got started sanding on the 3D printed 1977 Caprice 4dr, but still lots to do. First time working with a 3D resin but so far, so good. I was also able to find a suitable chassis/running gear for the build. It's from the often repopped '65 Riviera. Minor tweeking made it fit nicely. First thing is I needed to deepen the panel lines before sanding to make sure I didn't lose them. Ok, so it's not correct for the Caprice, and it's a generic metal axle chassis. But.... I'm good with it. Edited June 6, 2023 by hedotwo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Got tired of stumbling over tubs full of paint sitting on my floor so I spent a few hours making a shelf for them. Trust me, it looks like I only spent a few hours on it but it works. Now to find somewhere to put the three giant bins full of spray paint.

Dpate Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 (edited) Got this door panel done on the 65 Chevy impala foose. If it was better detailed the foiling would have been easier, but it is what it is. The first pic is the look I’m going for.

PatW Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 (edited) Another build where using a new model of the 911, the NuNu version and adding early 911 rally decals, in this case from 1984 and the 24 hours of Ypres! As the shape of the 911 has evolved careful lay-up of the decals is needed. Some work to be done on the front wheel arch before finishing the build due to the decal being longer and having to be trimmed when wet. Update: Note the Bastos decal on the white bar across the bonnet? That should be on the other door! I used my largest paint brush loaded with water and peeled it off and re-laid it in it's right place. The layout plans on the after market decals show all with a white background although some of the decals like the Bastos roof ones are red as you can see. The third red one should be across the bonnet so later laid that one in the correct place. More pics to come although out and about in Oxford tomorrow!

PatW Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Update: 14.06.23. Most decals now on, tomorrow will give body a few coats of clear gloss. Front nose Bastos now in red.. Other side now decaled. Ready for gloss clear. and continue build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
