kratvmnd Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Ooohh...I have the perfect car for that..the Revell Corvette C5R Endurance racer. Too bad it's been slightly started! Some of the roll cage and part of the engine has been painted.I'll take a pit penalty if I can join in with that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry Sumner Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Sounds like a food dehydrator would be a necessity in this endeavor...and quick drying lacquer paints or two part catalyzed automotive paints! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob McKee Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 You sure don't want to use model master enamel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildrice Posted December 29, 2011 Author Share Posted December 29, 2011 I have two dehydrators that we use. Im using nail polish on my 24hr Build. Custom two tone. If u are going in make sure you send me a pic of what ur building and all other info. I will pass it on so u can be listed on Gary Kulchock's Fotki site.

Guest Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Gosh, I can't get the body worked over in 24 hours....... Neither can I. My small brain just can't wrap around the concept of building a model in 24 hours. I might could do it in three eight hour shifts. I would like to give it a try just to see if I could do it. Does the model have to be fresh from the box with zero prep or is prep work allowed? I can't get all of the mold lines sanded off in 24 hours.

jeffs396 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 X3!!! But I think it'd be fun to try... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Sumner Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'm thinking seriously about it. Do you guys kind of stay online for 24 hours and post in-progress photos too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob McKee Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Alrighty then, I am in with a Revell McDonald's Firebirde funny car. I maybe nuts to try and build this kit in 24 hours but it should be fun. Besides I picked this kit up yesterday for $10, so nothing to loose. Of course this will be built box stock. Maybe I'll add wires to the engine. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heatride Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I can't even get the shrink rap off the box in 24 hours . That is pretty amazing , and I sure would like to see some pics.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
