martinfan5 Posted March 24, 2012 Author Posted March 24, 2012 Mike, I feel your pain, or I should say tiredness, my 7 month old has been zapping all my energy the last few weeks, so when I do have the time, I am just to darn tired to get my self motivated to do a lot. I am not surprised that the kit is toy like, heck that could be said for a lot of revells glue kits to, I have not had a chance to look at one out the box, so I did not know that the body was thicker.
mrmike Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 Jonathan, I can understand and sympathize with you on how a young one can zap the energy (and the life, LOL) out of you. Been there, done that! The Story McNally and Reuben met at Big Tommy T's place, a small restaurant and night club called Big T's. Their plan is to distract the guards in front of Big Tommy's office and force their way in and meet with the crime lord. McNally will walk near the bar and nudge the elbow of Tommy's number two man, Baylor Leighton, and spill his drink which will blame the man sitting next to him at the bar and hopefully start a brawl. Reuben will watch McNally's back as he enters the office. All goes as planned as the guards leave their post to help stop the fight and McNally and Reuben enter Big Tommy's office with their guns drawn. This is McNally's second time meeting the crime lord and Tommy is caught off-guard and staring down the barrel of McNally's .45. The Build I feel like I have made some progress now that I have primered and painted the body. This time I have remembered to paint the rear view mirrors. The paint is Model Master Citrus Yellow Metallic, No. 28101. McNally will return...
Dirkpitt289 Posted March 24, 2012 Posted March 24, 2012 (edited) Fantastic paint work. With every post you make of this build I want one of these more and more. Edited March 24, 2012 by Dirkpitt289
W-409 Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 The Decals for Cobra Jet Mustang have arrived, thanks for mcandela for the tip. I didn't know that these were in production. But now I'm getting started with this build, since I can get that other little build finished today.
Dirkpitt289 Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Sweet decals Niko. I got mine last month and am looking forward to using them.
W-409 Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Yeah, Me too! I hope they work as nicely as they look. I've painted some parts on the Mustang, but can't post a picture untill Sunday. So Stay Tuned...
W-409 Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 Yeah, Here We Go, the engine is painted with Humbroll MET 53, which is maybe the closest color what I have. I have to say big thanks again to mcandela for the reference pictures.
mrmike Posted April 1, 2012 Posted April 1, 2012 The Story McNally asks Big Tommy T as to his business with Jesse and the machine shop in Brighton. Tommy says that Jesse works for him from time to time and that the machine shop is not of McNally's concern. Tommy is then told to stay clear of the machine shop and to find something a little more productive for Jesse to do...or he will turn Tommy's empire upside down. Tommy replies, "I am firmly entrenched in my affairs and there is nothing you can do to harm me." "You had better reconsider your position here. Things will change," replies McNally. He and Reuben leave Tommy's office and the nightclub. The Build I clearcoated the body this morning with two mist coats of Tamiya TS-13 Gloss Clear and 1 wet coat of clear over an hour. I'll polish the clear in a day or two. i cleared the side mirrors and the inner fenders. I needed the inner fenders to have a little bit of a shine instead of being almost completely flat. McNally will return...
martinfan5 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Posted April 3, 2012 Paint job turned out very nice, and SHINY
W-409 Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Wow, Mike, that paintjob looks very good to me. That Mustang is going to be great build when finished. My Mustang is waiting for supercharger, that Special Edition kit don't have one, and the one, I have is way too small. So I'm looking for one from Finland, I hope I can find it soon and get the build going again.
mrmike Posted April 4, 2012 Posted April 4, 2012 Thanks Nico! The Story McNally anticipates Big Tommy T's next move which will be to take him and Reuben out. They arm themselves with additional weapons and wait at McNally's house, but not for very long. Reuben is watching out the front window and sees a car pull up in front of the house and two young men get out of the car and approach the house with a shotgun and a small submachine gun. It is Jesse and one of his friends who goes to the front door while Jesse goes to the side door. The front door is kicked open and the young man steps inside shooting wildly as Jesse kicks in the side door only to get hit in the stomach with McNally's Louisville Slugger that he keeps next to the side door and Reuben steps out from behind the front door and grabs the other man by the back of the neck and throws him into the wall, subduing them both. Officers from the Organized Crime Taskforce come out of the back room and arrest the two young men. Meanwhile, Caitlyn is driving home from work only to discover the silver sedan is following her again. The Build I have detailed the wheels and installed the tires. I have decided to use the kit tires this time. On the back, I have installed the pin retainer, but instead of the metal pin, I have added a short piece of round stock which will play a part in lowering the suspension later. The chassis is complete. McNally will return...
martinfan5 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Posted April 4, 2012 Its looking good Mike, you are doing a great job, I can not wait too see it all finished up
mrmike Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 The Story The silver sedan follows Caitlyn all the way home and now she is very nervous. She runs inside her condo, locks the door and goes into her bedroom closet and retrieves a metal box with four white buttons on top, punches in a combination, the lid pops open and she pulls out a Smith & Wesson Model 36 Snub Nose .38 Revolver. She loads five rounds into the cylinder, closes it and looks out the window overlooking the street below and does not see the silver sedan anywhere. She calls the Police who come and take a report, tell her they will cruise through the neighborhood more often and then leave on another call. She tries to take her mind off the silver sedan with paperwork and leafs through the Colemark file and sees McNally's business card clipped to the folder. She picks up the phone and calls his number. The Build I have applied a rear panel decal from the Coupe kit, taillights, GT emblem, and black lower panel trim. I used BMF on the horse grille emblem and added the head and driving lights. I have been test fitting the inner fenders/firewall and I had to shave the back of the headlights and trim the inner fenders to fit. The driver side inner fender has minimal mods, but the passenger side required careful removal of material without damaging the fuse and relay box. This will be painted and detailed again. McNally will return...
rustymodeler Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 looks good when are you goin to take it out for a spin jonathon LOL
Agent G Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 I'll be replicating this car, http://www.cebudanderson.com/oldcrowcar.htm with a 2008 Bullit Mustang. Stay tuned. G
martinfan5 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Posted April 8, 2012 (edited) Ahh ######!!!, the fuzz found our place, every one hide your *cough cough * stuff , Wayne, welcome to the CBP, nice to have you joining us, looking forward to seeing you build that Mustang, which is really cool BTW. Edited April 8, 2012 by martinfan5
Agent G Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Up against the wall you redneck muthas.................................... My middle son turned me on to the 1:1 car. He loves it and asked if I could build it for him. I found the decals, and the paint was easy. AMT's 73 Mustang was another matter. My Hobby Town has a wall full of '08 Bullitts for $11.99. Hmmm, thats a clue detective. G
mrmike Posted April 8, 2012 Posted April 8, 2012 Since I have the '10 GT Convertible almost done, I decided to take the leftover parts from the snap kit and add them to the remains of the GT Coupe kit. The GT Coupe will be a curbside...no engine. The paint is Model Master Citrus Yellow Metallic No. 28101. The body has been painted and will be clearcoated with Tamiya TS-13 Gloss Clear and polished after decals have been applied. More to come...
martinfan5 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Posted April 8, 2012 Mike, cant let a good parts kit go to waste, paint is looking good my friend, I love how nice MM lacquers shoot out of the can. Yep Wayne, I think thats a very big clue, nothing wrong with doing a modern version anyways.
mrmike Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Mike, cant let a good parts kit go to waste, paint is looking good my friend, I love how nice MM lacquers shoot out of the can. Yes! The Coupe has been begging me to build it and since it is a rather simple build, how could I resist?!! Now I have three projects on the bench and I am breaking my own rule about having more than two kits going at the same time. Somebody stop me!!!
