ratnasty Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Hello guys I have just about stop making decals for sale . This is the reason why " NO TIME TO BUILD" . I still will offer some from time to time but I was getting burnt out and I really wanted to build something for myself.So this morning I decided to get a couple of MPC funny cars out and get back to the basics (HAVING FUN).So I grab a Nitro Charger (generic MPC car )and paint it and used Chuck Boener 's decals which are awesome to build the Don Prudhomme's Pepsi Challenger. Then I said WOW thats fun , I forgot how fun modeling could be . Then I grab an extra MPC Barry Setzer car I had and drew a set of decals to do the Jim Nicoll Superman 1972 Vega funny car (which is different than the Revell 1974 car).This is why I wanted to learn how to do decals is to build something different and some one off cars for myself and I can't remember when I have had so much fun doing this, even after a 20 hr day doing these to bodies . So tommorow or today Saturday I'll get some sleep and start on some chassis.Here are some pics I hope you enjoy them as much as I did this Friday building them (remeber this hobby is suppose to be FUN.) thanks guys and goodnight
Len Woodruff Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Very nice Chuck. Glad to see you are building again!
caine440 Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 That is what the hobby is all about. Got to have fun!
gasser59 Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 If it isn't fun, why bother? Glad you're back at the bench instead of the computer and having some fun.
dragin70s Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Those are great. Looks like you found the fun again. Man, I really need to get me one of those Nitro Chargers to do that Prudhomme car. Of course, its 95-100 degrees and humid every day right now so don't know when I could paint.
Mooneyzs Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Chuck... those bodies look killer man!! Glad to see you having fun building for yourself. I cant wait to see more if these builds.
Dragracer Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Both cars look great,really like the Pepsi Challenger, looks cool, welcome back to the "building" part of the hobby!
hotrodblder Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 I love, love, love that Pepsi Challenger. That's gonna be a bass ass build up when it's finished.
W-409 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Both Look Great! Nice paint jobs and excellent decals. Looking forward for more.
gtx6970 Posted July 9, 2012 Posted July 9, 2012 Looks killer, and if it's not fun, to me theres no point. I would be interested in a copy of the vega sheets , just in case.
