maltsr Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) I sincerely hope you will let me join in at this late stage - I know Rob enjoyed the last one I have a build that stalled more than a year ago, a Sox & Martin 'Cuda that had a major stuff up on one side - the red partly lifted with the masking tape I have just re-applied the red so the kit has moved back to the top of the build pile. I think this CBP has inspired me to complete it A couple of points, it's not a three day weekend here in NZ (that was last weekend ) and of course timewise we are ahead of you. Permission to start my build tomorrow (Friday) night? Here's where the S&M stands at the moment, body painted but stripe yet to be applied to hood. Still needs work, and no prep has been carried out on any other parts (if I can find them!!) Edited February 16, 2012 by maltsr
Jantrix Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I'm really kicking this around Virgil. I've had a box stock build bouncing around in my head for a bit. I might do it with you guys this weekend. More soon.

Dr. Cranky Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Delighted to see a few more folks joining in. It's been raining hard down here in FLA, and I am hoping for better weather so that I can get everything in primer as early as Friday, but we'll see how it goes.
Cool Hand Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Hey Virgil, Count me in, as I think this will help get me out of a building slump im in. I will be building a Revell 62 Impala pretty much box stock. Only thing is il be a day ahead of you guys.So il be starting tomorrow.

martinfan5 Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 G, what are you building?, oh ###### I forgot all about this , hmm, I have a few kits I could build, just dont think I am going to have time though, Hmmmm
38special Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 i WOuld like to join this. i have revells 32 ford. might use the gremlins slicks and motor for this build i've changed my mind i am going to build the 57 chevy zinger and the super semi
Dr. Cranky Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I've changed my kit at this late an hour. I am going with the Shelby Cobra. I've always wanted to build me one of these.
Rob McKee Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 OK, I am going to go with something totally different from my usual American Automobile builds. A Ferrari F430. That's right I said it. It is the Revell kit though. I'll have to start mine this evening as well. I won't have much time on Monday to dedicate to this. So I will be trying to wrap this up by Sunday. The the games begin.
502 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I am dropping out of this. I was building a 99 silverado and I opened the kit today to find out that the front windshield has a big scratch in it. I'm putting this kit to the side for now. I'm going to order a new front windshield from revell. Maybe next time I can join in.
38special Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 i'm changing again. going to be building a dodge daytona
Cool Hand Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) All-righty then, time to get started. Inspiration for my build Over view of parts etc Going to start with adapting the pegasus wheels to kit parts,then lower it a bit. Once thats done il clean up and prep the body for a prime,which should be a good start to the day. Will post some mock up pics after the ride height is set. Edited February 17, 2012 by Cool Hand
martinfan5 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 I am going to have skip this time, I dont have time this weekend to do it
maltsr Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) That's gonna be cool Luke I'm a couple of hours ahead of you but have had interruptions this morning. Got everything primed, painted the blue stripe on the hood/scoop, then realised it would have to be extended to the grill. More masking of the body, but got it done OK. Quick light sanding and a polish before applying BMF around windows, followed by decals, only one side done so far! Edited February 18, 2012 by maltsr
mr.camaro Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 I too jumped the fun a bit getting things primered
ROB213 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 oh man forgot all about this lol, hitting the stash right know see what i can find
Rob McKee Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Looks great Paul. Geeze, just as shiney as all of the others you have made. I have just washed and sanded down the body of the little Ferrari. Letting the primer setup for awhile here and hope to get the color on her tonight. Will post a couple of pictures shortly. Rob
Dr. Cranky Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Paul your body is looking great with those decals. Luke, I love this model, it looks like you have it all ready to go.
Rob McKee Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Luke, what a great choice for the build. Love that car.
maltsr Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Taking a break from decals after completing the driver's side. Still need to apply the narrow white stripes near the edges of the blue stripes - these are on the Slixx decal sheet. Turning now to the engine, which will only be partly detailed. I discovered last night that the block has holes in it for the 'front axle' and too late to change motors at this late stage. Onwards and upwards!
Cool Hand Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 (edited) Paul the body of your build looks real nice ,clean and shiny for sure. Got the wheels temporarily mounted and ride height set Now onto the prep work. Edited February 18, 2012 by Cool Hand

Rob McKee Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Well, still moving along here. All parts have been washed, sanded and washed again, and body primed white. We are ready for the color coats.
