What a cop out

[brett]

Well it was a cop out , started last night (put frame together) and some sanding. Everything else was done this afternoon. Just going to be box stock with a different paint scheme (as I already have a copout done).

Get a load of these injector pin marks

Darker pic is a better representation of the colour

should be finished tomorrow night.

For a quickie, this is coming out great Brett. I've never built a CopOut as it seemed to me to be a poor representation of a quality kit but I see there is some hope for a good looking build. Love the blue, what paint did you use? I'll be watchiing this one before it hits your completed kits shelf.

Those are Pin Marks?? i have a few of these kits. I've opened one when i first bought it and saw those pin marks. Didnt know thats what they were. I thought they MUST of had a purpose and serve some sort of functionality because the ones on mine are so prominent that they look like detail built into the mold! Wow.

Very cool duster, even looks like that blue has some metal flake in it. I say you have done a very outstanding job on that chassis work.

I've built this kit, and quality had to be OK, because I managed to get everything together pretty nicely. That was many years ago.

Your build looks very good. Nice paintjob, and color looks very good too. Great job with the chassis also.

Thats looking good already Brett.

I've also got a Cop Out that wont be built as 'Cop Out'. Looking forward to your progress.

Looks real clean Brett!

Thanks guys,First up here's a new pic of my original cop out duster built towards the end of 07

and here's the new version started 2 days ago

The blue was a custom mix dupont blue with a bit of pearl white to lighten it and when I 'd painted the body I misted some pearl green around the body lines, hardly visable but you can see it in person in certain lights

You built this in two days? Outstanding work, I couldn't have done this in two weeks!

[Mooneyzs]

You did a great job on this one. Paint and decals turned out great!! Keep upt the great work that you do. Look forward to your next project

[Dave Van]

That came out a lot better than I thought....I've built a few of these.....but really had not thought about something like yours....Nice work!

Here was my last Duster build....

[Evil Appetite]

Very nice color...I'm diggin it! I'm assuming those decals are for the polar Lights SD Cuda?

Built in 2 days ??? Dont you sleep at night ?

Great build, even better in such a short time.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it . Mike , yes polar lights cuda.

Steve, no I work at night, this was done in the afternoons,

Quick breakdown, Monday broke the seal on box, dealt with the little amount of flash and assembled the frame and engine halves.

Tuesday , dealt to the injector pin marks on tin, sanded body and put most sub assemblies together.Then primed everything to be painted. An hour or so later painted everything then cleared the body.

Wednsday , installed glass then decaled body while glass was held by tape till the glue set. Sanded rear slicks and put wheels and tires on car then foiled to finish.
