The most northern 2021 recap?


Mattilacken

Recommended Posts

Since I live 100km north of the polar circle I presume thats the most northern member on the foum but i might be wrong if we have some russian or alaskans on here ;)

I have been focusing on my CBR build this year so most of my model building time went in to that one but due to the modifications i could not get it done in time. Which lead me to change the subject late in the year which i sucseded with. I also managed to finnish a started project from 2020. The Chevelle was a online find with out allot of parts. Used a old tamiya rattle can that came out ok but far from great. 

The Supra is built to look like an old JGTC car that was quickly resprayed and fited with a second seat to compete in the 2021 CBR. Some minor changes, like a custom wing and a C5R defusor. 

And lastley what i spent most of the time at this year.

Still learning what settings to use on my camera to get the look that i want, ended up with quite high ISO around 5000 to get the wheels to show. 

Thanks for taking your time to look this far 😃

Edit:

Borrowed a tripod and took some more of the two together since that was liked.

Anton my friend….Brrrrrrrrrrrr. Sounds cold up there! We are in a cold snap here, but probably balmy compared to up there. 
I hadn’t seen the Chevelle, I have one of those creeping closer to the top of my build list. Very nice job on it. The Supra is very tasty, nice work finishing it for the CBR. I’m really looking forward to seeing the truck done, you’ve done amazing work on it so far. All the best for 2022 sir.

Cheers, Steve

Very nice models, the Chevy truck is a nice idea. Nice to see the Chevelle side side with the supra.

Thanks! The Chevy truck is allot of work but will be cool when done ;) Will try to get some thing done on it soon, it have its own thread if interested.

Two very nice looking cars there Anton, I'm guessing silver gray is your favorite color😃

Thanks Mike! Yes its one of my favourite colors ;) My 1:1 that i bought also have that color :D I try to mix it up but i kind of want all my builds to have those colors.. but it does not look good on the shelf :P

I sure like your Supra - something I have wanted to do

Thanks! Its a nice kit and you can also make it with a engine with some SB and the use of the Toyota GT4 that have the same engine that the race cars have, its actulay on my list to make a Castrol Supra with a engine and a diorama, which will be my first "OB" build out of 3 castrol supra kits :P

Those are some good looking models, Anton!  That Supra is very, very nice!!  It just has “the look”. 😎

Thanks! It for sure has "the look" with the moded wing, exhaust and defuser ;) Almost want to take it apart and put clear on it though since i had none when i built it. Cat be that hard right? ;)

Hehe! It for sure can be, we normaly have below -30deg C at least for 1-2 weeks a year and during Jan-Feb we usaly are bellow -20C all the time. But its better than Alaska due to the Golf stream that makes life on this side mor humane. I have never been to Victoria but have been to Calgary and Revelstoke for 2 wheeks during late winter and it was suprisingly warm but allot of powder in the mountains! My sister lived there for a winter so we had a Jeep XJ that we drove around in :)

Okay, the Chevelle was a quick build with allot of testing and realy more of a paint mule that I built to look like what I usaly se around here in the summers and proboabl what i would have my self If i had one. Nice will be following allong on your bild  when it comes around! I also have an other one, as well as a '69GTO that will be built in the future but its down the list for me, especialy since the box for the Malibu 454 got smashed in the shipping so the A-pillars needs to be rescued.

Thanks, I am satisfied i managed to make the Supra so Quick. Hope to do the same with this years CBR so i can attack the truck, impala, 69 Camaro or  the '67 Chevelle P2P. :D Al the best to you as well sir!

 

Thanks again Every one!

Really sharp looking builds Anton , I agree the matching colors make a cool photo !  I've been playing with camera settings for a year or so , it can be tough to figure out .

Thanks! Worked better at least with a pod! 🙂

A very confident pair

The steel grey colour is very appropriate also considering your nearby huge source for that raw material

Thanks! Haha yes that’s also a thought! Haha! The iron ore is even darker 🙂

Perhaps a colour for 2022 build(s) : Ore Grey ? Or perhaps more correct Ore Black ?

Hehe! Might be a thing 😉 and put LKAB / Hybrit down the side but then it have to be a EV! Might be a thing though to build, a electric dragster or some thing.

Perhaps based on one of the huge dumpers ? With all the regular drag paraphernalia added ? imagine the parachute required ...
Sort of a "Malmberget Gasser", a very contemporary one.
