bfreez28 Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Its been awhile since I finished one, what a great feeling. Finally found this kit on the shelf at a Micheal's craft store not far from my work. Since we arent busy at work (bodyshop) I got this to keep me busy. Its painted Torch Red, base clear. Built the strip version with the slicks, two fours. roll bar and left out the passenger seat. It went together pretty easy! At Micheals I got a 50% off coupon so I went back and bought the Revell 57 chevy Black Widow, its already in primer.
RJWood Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Great lookin Nova, That Torch red paint turned out real nice. What brand of paint was used? I got the '57 BW kit at Michaels w/ 50% coupon, a great deal.
cruz Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Very cool, looks nice in red but, one question, what if it rains???? Pep Boys has a special on wipers this week!!!! Just kidding my friend!!!
bfreez28 Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 Very cool, looks nice in red but, one question, what if it rains???? Pep Boys has a special on wipers this week!!!! Just kidding my friend!!! I left the wipers off because model cars dont get driven in the rain! DUH! ahahahahaha nah, the basis of the build was a street car turned weekend drag car. Also still attached to the parts trees are the full exhaust, battery (its in the trunk) and sway bars. The lens in the bumper on the driver side mysteriously vanished while installing it. I have no idea where it went, it was on the end of a toothpick, next thing POOF its gone. After wrestling with the side mirror on the door I gave up on any more detail. My patience isnt what it used to be! The paint is R/M automotive paint, I even sprayed the car in a real paint booth.
ajulia Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Yikes!! I have to say that paint it just oouch!! excellent build-up amigo!! Keep on wit the keepin on!!! peace ajulia
bfreez28 Posted April 12, 2009 Author Posted April 12, 2009 Smooth sweet build! Is the paint polished or off the gun? no polishing, used some Mothers Detailer on it to get my finger prints off though.
cruz Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Well, wipers or not I think it's a great job you did on this one, I want to start on mine soon but still have a few things I have to complete first..
