ROB213 Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 well thanks to Dr. cranky for putting on his 3 day build off, and helping me get off my butt and building again this is my first complete build iv done in about 3-4 years now. so i got the bug again, im going to start crankying them out like theres no tomorrow here it is my 1961 impala ss 409: from this to this hope you guys like it, theres many more to come thanks for looking!!
57peppershaker Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Very nice Rob. Like the figures too, where are they from ?
Dominik Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 like i wrote in the WIP-Thread: Can't belive, that this is a only "3-Day-built" - it looks so perfect! Clean and shiny. @Steve, the figures are "hoppin hydros" if i remember right. Scale 1/25 and just perfect for show. I like them from time to time to present a modelcar. Also there are a set of drivers too.
ROB213 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Posted January 20, 2012 thanks for the kind words fellas @dominik i hear you man, i real suprised myself on this build. now theres many more to come . oh and yup those are "hoppin hydros" 1/25 scale. iv been looking for the drivers for a long time to complete the set, but i cant find them if anybody here has them for sale or wants to trade let me know
Dr. Cranky Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 Robert, wonderful model, and you are clearly having a blast with the pictures. Thanks for sharing.
Terry Sumner Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 3 Days... Really? In the words of Darth Vader..... Impressive!

CorvairJim Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 3 Days... Really? In the words of Darth Vader..... Impressive! "Impressive" doesn't begin to say it for me. How about "FLIPPIN' AWESOME"?
hotrod59f100 Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 You did great with the 3 day build. It got me back in the groove as well.
jbwelda Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 wow i am always amazed when people build something like this in 3 days! does it have the motor (if not, wanna trade it for something? ) it takes me forever just to do a little foiling and that thing is completely trimmed out! great car man...
Terry Sumner Posted January 21, 2012 Posted January 21, 2012 "Impressive" doesn't begin to say it for me. How about "FLIPPIN' AWESOME"? Yeah I agree... But Darth Vader never said "Flippin Awesome." So I had to go with "Impressive."
ROB213 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Posted January 21, 2012 (edited) Yeah I agree... But Darth Vader never said "Flippin Awesome." So I had to go with "Impressive." and thanks fellas really appreciate the kinds words , i got another 3 day build selected for next week so stay tuned wow i am always amazed when people build something like this in 3 days! does it have the motor (if not, wanna trade it for something? ) it takes me forever just to do a little foiling and that thing is completely trimmed out! great car man... thanks bro! and yup, it gots the engine in there here you go Edited January 21, 2012 by ROB213
