Sandboarder Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) After seeing Cool Hands Ken Mary Skyline I thought I’d share mine when it was mocked up. I pulled it down again after the last photo to paint a 2nd colour and that is where the build stalled. Edited February 11, 2022 by Sandboarder 3

Andrew McD Posted February 12, 2022 Posted February 12, 2022 Working on the stance for this '50 Olds custom. Going for a down in the weeds cruiser look. 4
Joe Handley Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Went to the club meeting with my current projects, most of which are waiting on primer, one is just getting under way.
Cool Hand Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 Put a surfacer check coat on the 68, so had to get out a 67 and do the same. 2
1972coronet Posted February 13, 2022 Posted February 13, 2022 One of my most ambitious works to date -- AMT 1968 El Camino SS-396 (the 'soapbox derby' version). I've chosen a non-factory colour for the vinyl top and the interior (Rustoleum Leafy Green - Satin), as I have an affinity for white vehicles with green interior (like my parents' 1969 Dart 'Custom'). The white is the as-moulded plastic, which was polished then Futured. 'SS-396' decals from the Revell 1968 Chevelle SS-396 (bought from an eBay seller so that I didn't have to raid my kit) used on gauges, dash embellishment, front marker/bezel, and tail gate garnish (eventually, the grille's 'SS' emblem, and the various engine decals). Still lots to do with this one (lots of touchups and cleanups) -- engine will be stock (other than the aforementioned decals) ; I'm not quite set on what wheels I'm going to use (I'm thinking either deluxe wheel covers or steelies & hubcaps, either from Fireball... maybe the kit's Rallye Wheels?); and I've still got to configure the interior (the only P.I.T.A. thus far). Critiques, accolades, jeers, suggestions, etc., encouraged. Without further ado: 2

Cool Hand Posted February 15, 2022 Posted February 15, 2022 Set up the stance on one my favourite Aoshima kits. 1
Sandboarder Posted February 16, 2022 Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) That stance is spot on Luke!!! Here’s on that I messed around with a while back. It has the chin spoiler but probably needs a big duck tail boot lip on it. Edited February 16, 2022 by Sandboarder 1

1972coronet Posted February 17, 2022 Posted February 17, 2022 CANCELLED ! Right into the Stack of Doom with a couple of other fiddly-P.I.T.A. kits. I honestly don't know how in the _____ anyone has managed to assemble that horribly-engineered chunk-of-______ interior without smashing that stupid thing to bits! INEXCUSABLE for a new(er) kit! What the actual ______ were the designers & engineers thinking when they designed & engineered that godawful pile of horse dung ?!??!!!? I have Z-E-R-O patience for trash that doesn't fit-together -- no tolerance whatsoever. IF this were an older kit (MPC, AMT, et al.) that's been reissued ad nauseam (AMT 1953 F-100 for example), I know what I'm in for: lots of filing, sanding, truing-up, and other tasks involved in building a kit that was present when the Red Sea was parted. BUT, something from c.1998, which was all-new tooling then, and hasn't been reissued more than Disney pumps-out Star Wars spinoffs and pre-sequels-generations poodle poop, there's NO excuse for garbage with NO positive attachment points. This mother is OFF the DESK. 1
