[travis321]

hi

there is no interduction page so i gusse i will do it here

hello my name is travis l and i live in canada

i have been building models since i was 7 and i am 13 now

sorry to all the kids into video games and dvds and tecnical stuff but i hate that stuff with the passion and i will just stick with my plastic model kits

i mainly build amt or revell 1/25 american truck kits but i have more cars then trucks and i basicly can say i ran out of truck builds beside parts box junker my dad had when he was a kid

so now back to my newest project

it's a amt 1957 chevy kit ( the boyed cottington kit) (R.I.P)

sorry i have no pics but the camara isn't working well i will have pics soon though

i am using the normal 283 givin in the kit and may use the 409 in a diorma of a shop im planning out and stuff

im leaning towards a classic brownish red like a orginal chevy color and swaping the rims in the kit for others since the ones givin are custom

again thanks for looking and i will have pics soon

Welcome travis, I also am a younger builder 14 in november, if you need some parts or have a question contact me I might just be able to help. Ah a man after my own heart a young truck builder, if you need a truck or too i might be able to work something out to let one of mine slip away.

hi guys

thanks

thanks for the offer dukefan69 but i just bought a fruehauf flatbed trailer for a k100 i built and this is the project to keep me building. but i will let you know if i ever need a new build and thanks for the offer

sweet at least i know im not the only kid on here

well too this thing turned bad

i primerd it, wetsanded it, added 4 lights coats of krylon burgandy with wet sanding and added the ivory white top with clearcoat and the first paint of silver got on the car

so i have to strip it down in some castrol superclean when i buy it and see how it works

but i finshed the basic motor luckley my dad bought chevy orange for a 55 chevy he was working on a coupel of years ago and i got to use the rest up

i started a differnt project and will save this for the future

thanks
