misterNNL Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 This simple kit also screams promos to me. I need another inbuilt kit like I need another hole in my head but I'm gonna pull the trigger anyway.🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Really creative. I have a question on the Cricut you use .... Can you cut Frisket film to size and run that through the machine to make masks; or do you have to use their products only? Actually, I have a second question - would it be possible to score sheet plastic, if the plastic is too thick to cut, with the Cricut machine? I'm thinking it could be useful for getting consistently shaped panels to build something like a camper shell. Again, really superb work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the machine will cut whatever material you put thru it (within reason - no stainless steel 🤪). I use Oramask 815 masking film but it’ll cut frisket just fine, or even regular masking tape. On plastic, yes - it’ll score styrene sheet really easily and also cut right through thinner gauge…I have done that myself on a few projects, but check out some of @Impalow’s builds on his profile to see some really masterful work with one of these machines. Or, even better, check out this video and the amazing grille and frame he built: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) So very cool. That video was well worth watching. Amazing work! One more question - do you have the Silhouette Portrait 1, 2, or 3? Edited March 9, 2022 by Jonathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One more question - do you have the Silhouette Portrait 1, 2, or 3? I’ve got the Portrait 2 - but I also had the Cameo 1…seems like they’re all about the same in capability apart from different potential cut sizes…my wife has a Cricut and that works about the same too 👍🏻 On 3/9/2022 at 10:23 AM, BuilderX said: That's a Salt Bitchen Ride Nice!!!!

CabDriver Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 Thanks Bill - and everyone else for the nice words…and thanks to MCM for the feature! That was such a cool surprise! Still wish I’d done a more detailed build if I’d known it was gonna be in a magazine 🤪. Guess I’ll have to build another something-or-other! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4 Pulsars Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Hi there! your weathering is top notch! Lord knows ive read enough in scale auto how to do proper weathering, but you have nailed it. it seems real easy to over do it. i have the same kit, bought it when it was new and cheap. the name suits the car. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a thousand kits with the classic five spoke wheel, but only like two with the 8 spoke Minilite/Watanabe wheel. You used them and then you covered then up. 😒 Other than that, great stuff. Awesome weathering. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry Rob - they're Moon disks - they pop right off! 😁 (These ones actually DO - I made little tubular receivers on the back of the disks to mount them, and I don't think I even actually glued them on). Thanks for all the nice comments everyone! Edited April 15, 2022 by CabDriver 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
