Tipstang Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 I should also say Hi, I am new here Here is my most recently completed build. This is a pretty basic kit since it was originally intended to be a diecast, but the detailing is superb. Paint is simply a Flat Black base coat with Blue-to-Red Pearl mixed with clearcoat laid down in light coats until I got the color I wanted, which added up to something like 15 coats I stole the rims from the Uptown Caddy kit and hand painted them. I call this one my "Ode to Bling"
MoparMarc Posted July 28, 2007 Posted July 28, 2007 Nice work, I have one of these as well. How well did the kit build up for you?
Tipstang Posted July 28, 2007 Author Posted July 28, 2007 Nice work, I have one of these as well. How well did the kit build up for you? It went together extremely well. One thing I was warned about by my buddy Mike is to watch which screws you use to connect the doors. They have the washers in a seperate pouch with some long screws (don't ask me why" but the longer ones are used to connect the body to the floorpan. Use the shorter ones, of which there are a bunch, to connect the doors. Other than that, this was an easy kit for assembly.
Tipstang Posted July 29, 2007 Author Posted July 29, 2007 Thanks George. I have been a lurker here for quite awhile, ever since my buddy Mike recommended it to me. I just finally got off my keister and decided to post a few builds. Again, thanks for the kudos!
Jairus Posted July 29, 2007 Posted July 29, 2007 Looks good Tipstang, and welcome to MCM forums. Please read the board rules and post your name. Thanks!
Tipstang Posted July 29, 2007 Author Posted July 29, 2007 Oops, missed that one Jairus. Sorry and thank you for the praise!
