GeeBee Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 if this was your first time wiring an engine, you did one helluva job!! Thanks for the comments, Yes it was my first time wiring up an engine, I've wanted to try wiring an engine for ages, and each model I do, I like to try new things, so this was the test bed for the wired ignition ...

GeeBee Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Your doing are great job mate, I wish I could get my BMF to like yours does Wheel arches are a bit tricky to get the line nice and clean, but here's a little trick I do, run a line of masking tape around the edge of the wheelarch, and then you have a hard edge to cut to, and it also stops the blade going off line, put the tape on, put on the BMF, trim, following the line of the masking tape, and then remove the excess BMF and the masking tape, and you end up with a nice clean line .... If you use thinner masking tape, you can do it in one piece, instead of using numerous pieces of thicker tape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan_m Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 nice trick for BMF, ill have to try that next time...... you did a great job wiring/plumbing that engine geoff, very nice work. cheers bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hgbben Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Awesome build.... I have a 69 Charger from Revell that I have my eye on starting sometime this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 Got the BMF finished this morning, also fitted the interior tub onto the chassis, painted the roof lining and the C pillar trims, the interior dome light and the windows will be fitted when the order containing the clear epoxy resin arrives, hopefully in the next day or so ....

Nope, I'm not trying to win anything, in all the years I've been modelling, I've never put a model on show, or even entered a competition, I do it for the fun of trying to build a nice replica of the real thing ...

bryan_m Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 i keep coming back to this build, and it is beautiful Geoff, the one thing i am takin away from it is your drying times.......i usually do weathered/rusty/crusty stuff.... but when i did shiney builds, i worked on them like you do....... paint a part, then just let it dry till tomorrow. that always makes for a very neat and clean job! theres nothing worse than painting a part, and then being in a rush, next thing you know theres a ###### thumbprint in it! LOL i hate when that happens! keep up the beautiful work Geoff, this thing is going to be amazing! cheers Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tucohoward Posted May 1, 2012 Share Posted May 1, 2012 Really nice work Geoff! Looking forward to seeing more. Love your BMF application. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 Nope, I'm not trying to win anything, in all the years I've been modelling, That's great to hear, someone else thinks same way as I do. I usually take part to Model Car Shows, and sometimes I win something, but that's not the point. As you said, "I do it for the fun of trying to build a nice replica of the real thing" is because of I build models too. Charger is coming along great, it looks very good. I can't wait to see more work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted May 2, 2012 Author Share Posted May 2, 2012 Hopefully my order I put in the beginning of the week will arrive tommorow, I need some clear epoxy glue to fix in the windows, so I can't go any further without it, but I did notice something that I hadn't fixed into place, I'm not sure what it is, but it has to fit at the end of the centre console, again, it was stripped of it's chrome, and done using chrome Alclad ..

GeeBee Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 A few days ago, the clear epoxy resin I ordered arrived, so today the windows went in, also got the finish the front grille, the small chrome trim was done using chrome BMF, a very tricky job, but well worth it, the body got fixed onto the chassis, I usually do a dry fit, but once it was on, it wasn't coming off, and it was so tight, it didn't need any glue to fix it ...

GeeBee Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Thanks guy's, nearly there ... got the front end built up tonight, so just the front suspension to put on, wheels, front & rear panels, wheels, and then all the little chrome bits, plus the small detail parts under the bonnet (Oh sorry ... Hood !) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeBee Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Spectacular build, Geoff!! It's beautiful. And, it's not ... wait for it ... it's not ... ... orange! It would have been a lot easier to do it orange, as the Hemi orange is available over here in basecoat, but it seems I never take the easy option !

This is my mindset towards modeling as well! You are doing a phenominal job on this Charger. I love the look of it. Very unique, very clean and very nicely detailed!
