Hi guys

after finishing the beach diorama i started with my next model.

the first to do are the rims and wheels, i don´t know about that wheels???

here are a pic about the original front from the kit.

I don´t like the chrom glasses and so i made reflectors about aluminum on my late and glasses are come from a other kit

after painting it looks so:

Juerg, The mods you made on the headlights sure made that grille look GREAT!!!! It's gonna be another KILLER build!!!

If the rest of the build goes as the grill does, this will be one VERY nice looking 'Bee.

[Scalper]

are you going to try to do the red around the grill. that would look pretty hard to the though. but would look killer. loks good so far.

Nice job on that grille / Bumper.

One thing I noticed about '70 Super Bee builds is people often overlook that the space between the two bumpers is supposed to be the same color as the body, and that really makes a big difference on the front end looks. See this pic;

Nice work on the grill and headlights it looks

like this will be one great model nice detail

so far. Will be watching to see it finished

sure it will be killer when done.

Hi guys !!!

Thanks for your looking to this built and your so nice comments.

@bruno: oh man ! thanks for your pic and the notice to paint the bumper. so i must do this in the next step.

My friend mixed the color from the original code with a little fine silver metallic and so i can do the paint job.

Great looking paint job there - Wish I could get it that smooth - Question: Where did you get that interesting stand to paint on ? - Tops of spray paint cans just don't cut it - Thanks - Joe

Looks like a Tamiya paint stand http://www.tamiyausa.com/product/item.php?product-id=74522

I should get that too, I also use spray paint cans

hi !

After I've thought long time about the used wheels, I thought I try something else.

Here I found Steelie from another kit, they sharpened accordingly. Then I turned to me with my lathe aluminum ring and adapted them according to the tire.

Now I've once made silicone molds, and pour it off once.

Och nee, Jürgen. Nicht Du jetzt auch mit den doofen Dogdishes. Aber sag mal, woher kannst Du so gut Modelle bauen?

[cruz]

Looking good my friend, please keep us posted, love the way your paint came out!!!

[RodneyBad]

WOW!!!

Awesome looking Wheels.

I love'em..

What is the Center cap from?

The Revell 70 Roadrunner?

I can see them as Very popular wheels now.

[juergen]

hi !

thanks for your looking guys !

@zukiholic: yes the caps came from the 70 roadrunner.

@junkman: why do you mean the dogdishes are bad? i learn the modelling myshelf about 5 years. you speak german?

here i can show you now the painted resin wheels with the cap.

what do you mean about the look?

greets juergen

[Tony T]

Fantastic! I love the purple paint, and the wheels are fantastic! Nice work!

[Junkman]

hi !

@junkman: why do you mean the dogdishes are bad?

greets juergen

I just hate these stupid dog dishes. Someone who can afford a car like this should have the money to buy some proper wheels for it.

[Bruno]

Love the wheels! Great work!

[jedimastergary]

Looking good so far the wheels are great
