hotrod59f100 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 That is one wild Celica Shane, what colour is that? It's krylon gloss purple. But for some odd reason it stayed mate /semi gloss. But it will work I guess. No time to fix it.
bobthehobbyguy Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 It's 1/24h, buddy. The Revell Shelby Cobra "Street Burner". I LOVE it. It's so cool. You have to smooth out the body because it does have a couple of lines and seams here and there, but nothing big. I've got the body painted and decals are next while the other parts in primer dry over night . . . Looks good. What color is it? bobthehobbyguy
bobthehobbyguy Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Well I had to loose the chev luv but I found another. My ford courier My Toyota celica And finish my 1/32 Datsun Who makes the Toyota Celica? bobthehobbyguy
bobthehobbyguy Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 what i started with. This is probably one of the worst cars i've messed with. started out with junk trying to make it look halfway decent Almost ready to paint I didnt take pics of the grey primer but here it is in the finished coat. Its ready for lettering now The hack job on the chassis. still extremely rough. i have to sand everything down still Nice job on making it such a wreck. is this a destruction derby car? What kit is it? bobthehobbyguy
hotrod59f100 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Who makes the Toyota Celica? bobthehobbyguy Its this kit Here's the side pipes. Here's the courier in mockup before paint. Hope you like . Let me know what you think. Thanks.
Cool Hand Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Good work by all,everyone seems to be progressing well. I got the primer on the body wet sanded and is ready for paint also have all other parts mounted and ready for primer and paint. But Im currently at a stand still at the moment,had some rain here this morning and now its to humid to paint. Hope tomorrow is a better day for painting. So I dont think my build will be finished within the 3 day time frame,but il keep posting progress as it happens.

hotrod59f100 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Any body have any ideas on what to do with the windshield on my celica? It has visible glue on the the glass past the roof line. Sense it was a motorized kit thes nothing for int. should I pant it black? Do you think it would still be ok?

mr.camaro Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Or a big decal. It's a race car after all
38special Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Nice job on making it such a wreck. is this a destruction derby car? What kit is it? bobthehobbyguy It is mpcs dodge daytona and yes its a demolition derby car. i should have some more progress pics posted up throughout the day tomorrow
mr.camaro Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 A bit of progress tonight. Engine detail started Engine and interior basics. Still need a lot of detailing.
hotrod59f100 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks . Chuck most brought up a Japanese car trend called bosozuku that inspired me.
Cool Hand Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) Fit's the Bosozoku style well Shane,good job Well fella's judging by tomorrow's weather report,it aint going to be any better than it was today So consider me a non-finish'er for the this CB I will post the Impala Under Glass when completed,which should hopefully be by the end of the week. Keep at it ,hope you all get your builds done and look foward to seeing them. Edited February 19, 2012 by Cool Hand
maltsr Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Sorry to hear that Luke, that '62 is a style I like to build too - look forward to seeing it later . Ironically, we had one of our best weekends of the summer and I spent most of it model building B) . I am glad this CB took place, otherwise this replica may have sat for another year. Many thanks to those that organised it. Anyways, here is the S&M car duly finished by late Sunday.
Cool Hand Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Top job Paul a looks good. Im glad I decided join this CB too,even though I didnt finish.It has helped to get me out of a slump and motivated me to start building again.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 That's beautiful Virgil, another masterpiece on the way - is that a hint of the interior in your shots? Paul I used this little piece of upholstery paper to show the mirror finish, but I like the idea of actually using it on the interior. Let me see. I was actually thinking of just going completely stock . . .
Dr. Cranky Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Bob, that is a custom mixed color topped with Pearl Ex powders my new passion and madness. The powders are mixed into the clear and that's it. It just makes the paint dance. Hey, everybody, you are making great progress, and listen, if you don't finish, don't worry, it's not a big deal . . . I'll probably not finish this one by Monday, but I will have it done in couple of days later. The idea is to help everyone generate yet another new model. Cheers, DC
hotrod59f100 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Hey Paul what did you use on your headlights?

Last night I had a mess up with my paint due to it being cold. 25' Edited February 19, 2012 by hotrod59f100
