TransAmMike Posted February 12, 2023 Posted February 12, 2023 My gosh, those are some georgeous paint jobs Luke. I'm not a fan of super low stances but man, they all look very cool? 1
Cool Hand Posted February 16, 2023 Author Posted February 16, 2023 Aoshima Liberty Walk Ken Mary Works Nissan Skyline complete. Not a serious build, just about maintaining skills and having fun actually getting something completed for a change. Also was a buddy build with @Sandboarder 3
Cool Hand Posted February 17, 2023 Author Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) Really enjoy building the Aoshima LB Works kits, so dug another one out of the stash and made a start. Done a bit of body prep, shaved front and rear side marker lights and script, filled the recess for the badge on the pillar, shaved the badges on the trunk, filled the rear license plate locating holes and filled the rear bumper locating holes. Also as per usual applied a check coat of 1500 black surfacer. Not a serious build, all about having some fun enjoying the process and the visual end result. Edited February 17, 2023 by Cool Hand 1

Appreciate the kind words Mike, hope to see you back working on your Hako.
Cool Hand Posted February 21, 2023 Author Posted February 21, 2023 Decided on the wheels for the Hakosuka. Finished all the prep work on the body. Mould lines removed, scribed door, trunk and hood lines. Filled the holes on the front valance and smoothed it out, drilled holes in the over fenders for rivets, blocked sanded entire body and applied a good coat of surfacer. One more coat of surfacer and it should be good and ready for paint. Havent really decided on a colour, so more than likely will end up black.

Cool Hand Posted March 7, 2023 Author Posted March 7, 2023 (edited) So happy to finally be able to build an Australian plastic car kit. Kit is modular base, with 4 available variants. I decided to build the Kingswood version first and do it as a traditional Aussie Lowrider. DDA the manufacturer shot some styrene through a die cast mould to produce a plastic model kit, so its a screw and glue type kit. Decent parts breakdown. Dug out some of my favourite wheels from the stash and roughed in the stance. Edited March 10, 2023 by Cool Hand 4
Cool Hand Posted March 12, 2023 Author Posted March 12, 2023 Started another Holden HQ, applied a check coat of surfacer and got the wheels painted with Alclad chrome. 5
Zippi Posted March 12, 2023 Posted March 12, 2023 Now I'm diggin these wheels & tires Luke. It's taking on the looks of a Pro Mod. 1
Cool Hand Posted March 13, 2023 Author Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) Thanks for the words Bob, yeah its a mix of styles. Pro Mod, Pro street and a tire killer(aka Burnout car) Edited March 13, 2023 by Cool Hand
Cool Hand Posted March 13, 2023 Author Posted March 13, 2023 Made some adjustments to the stance. Lowered the rear and raised the front. Cant believe I actually raised a builds stance.
Mattilacken Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 That looks like a great burnout car, typical for you Down Unders! 1
Cool Hand Posted March 13, 2023 Author Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) Thanks Anton, here it is fitted up with some steelies to the rear for a true burnout mode look. This 1:1 is very typical and similar to the scale model. Edited March 13, 2023 by Cool Hand
SpikeSchumacher Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Looking good! I have actually ordered the slammed version of this kit from Hearns Hobbies... it's all your fault!! ??? Cheers 1
Cool Hand Posted April 5, 2023 Author Posted April 5, 2023 (edited) Got some colour and chrome applied to the Kingswood. Clear coat asap. Edited April 5, 2023 by Cool Hand 8
Cool Hand Posted April 16, 2023 Author Posted April 16, 2023 Holden HQ Kingswood is pretty much complete, will post up some more pics sometime soon. 8
