Sam I Am Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 I will be joining the 24hr build this weekend with this entry. I owned a 1:1 and have been meaning to replicate it, soooooooo, here goes. Really glad it is a simple kit.
Kromolly Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Nice progress for one hour in. If you find yourself running out of time you could always throw the El Camino body on the Falcon chassis. A little duct tape and... ?

Sam I Am Posted January 31, 2021 Author Posted January 31, 2021 Hour five and I am running out of parts.

Modlbldr Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 That's looking really good Sam. My GTO is coming along. Got everything done except waiting for the clear to dry so I can apply the extensive decals. Then another couple coats of clear. I'm having a blast with this. Later-

GeeBee Posted January 31, 2021 Posted January 31, 2021 Looking great Sam, takes me longer than 24 hours to decide what colour I'm going to paint it, my current build has been sitting in the stash for just over 6 years.....
