Codi Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Mark, what a way to wrap up the year with it's completion. The entire thread has been inspiring to follow. What are you going to do for your next build if I may ask? Happy New Year! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted December 26, 2014 Author Share Posted December 26, 2014 Thanks Tim. This one won't be finished this year. Maybe in a couple months or so.I think I'll make a '73 Camaro next, but not to this caliber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted December 27, 2014 Author Share Posted December 27, 2014 I made the worm drives for the radiator hose clamps and added the front brake soft lines. Looks a little dusty… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted December 28, 2014 Author Share Posted December 28, 2014 The worm screws for the fuel lines (and other smaller diameter low pressure hoses) were even more fun to make. My camera is having a difficult time capturing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nacho Z Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 There is a mantra used in modeling circles that says to treat every part or sub-assembly as a model itself. You are one of the few who actually accomplish this. Every part on this masterpiece has been subjected to your amazing touch. Well done!

Scale-Master Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Thank you guys! I finally finished painting the hood, ironic to me since it is the last main body part, and the first part I made for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormL Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I check in with this build every once in a while and all I can say is I am staggered! The ingenious ways that I see you create parts. My eyes are still ringing with reading that you made your own worm gears for the hose clamps ... I get the feeling that if I left you alone with some iron ore, bauxite, nylon and rubber, I would come back to a completed car and not be surprised if it could run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted January 10, 2015 Author Share Posted January 10, 2015 Thanks Norm, that is very kind of you to say. Gear shifter. 2.25 inch diameter ball. Same size as a pool ball… Ready for paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 Thanks guys, glad to share... I added an indent for the license plate so I could add a light for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stump Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Mark, this is nearing a very sad stage mate....... Before we realize, you will have this masterpiece sitting on your shelf and the updates will dry up..... But, until then, I am savoring every update and enjoying them immensely, thank you.

Scale-Master Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 Thanks for the kind thoughts and words Greg! 7 Ball shift knob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 The hood has been final waxed and buffed. I installed the under hood blanket and added a little dusty dirt to the underside too. I still need to add the tabs to the latches but will do that later since they are delicate as (I learned from knocking them off the nose piece).

cobraman Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I admire your dedication to this project as well as the talent to pull it off to this level of detail. I have enough trouble just trying to do a decent looking model using kit pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scale-Master Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 This is the license plate and back-up light. It has a clear lens with white fluting on the inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danno Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Stupendous! Mark, your work just constantly bankrupts the vocabulary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scale-Master Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks Dan! The tail light panel is almost all wired up and a bit of dusty dirt has been added. I’m not sure this will even be visible once installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
