Bigjeff Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Wow! I'm almost embarrassed to make this post with all the talent on this forum! I'll still do it, I'm thinking it's going to be a huge learning experience!! This is my 1st car since i was a kid, so i'm making it my "practice car", i'm used to armored so i'll have to read on how to do the nice glassy finish. I'm thinking about making her black with black interior, with the red trims, nothing fancy just what comes in the box for this one! I'll post pics tomorrow
bisc63 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Have at it! You'll be very happy with this one right out of the box.
PappyD340 Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Hey Jeff, it's no big thing, truth be known we have all felt that way before, if it makes you feel better I have not posted anything on here yet myself, getting ready to post a couple builds, but I pretty much feel the same way, but we learn from constructive criticism , but as long as your happy with it that's all that matters!!!
slusher Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Everyone has thier own talent. Everyone here loves models and keeps us here. You will be fine build on...
Bigjeff Posted October 1, 2013 Author Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) well I finished the engine, for now anyway...waiting for snail mail to bring my wiring kits Edited October 2, 2013 by Bigjeff
MoparWoman Jamie Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Your doing one very fine job so far with your build man. Keep up the great work.
Chris White Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 Stop worrying about what we think. This is suppost to be fun (for you) enjoy the build, as we will too. I suck, but I enjoy building and sharing with the forum. What is the worst that they can say. In my experience, they have only helped by great suggestions. HAVE FUN!!!!!!
Dandydan Posted October 1, 2013 Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) This is a great kit and it looks like you're off to a great start! Edited October 1, 2013 by Dandydan
Bigjeff Posted October 2, 2013 Author Posted October 2, 2013 PRIMED!!!!!!! Starting real paint tomorrow, can't wait!!
Bigjeff Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 I started painting the interior, used Tamiya's Deck Tan and i'm really unhappy with the results... I wanted this: and i got this: So I,ll get some Super clear this week-end, strip and start over...
Tompidom Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 The engine is looking good, I like the interoir color!!
Bigjeff Posted October 14, 2013 Author Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) Finaly got around to repainting the interior (sripped, re-primed re-painted) I like it much better! Edited October 15, 2013 by Bigjeff
Scuderia Posted October 14, 2013 Posted October 14, 2013 Photobucket seems to be having some issues, but I did get to see the thumbnail of the interior. The two-tone looks good! keep it up
Bigjeff Posted October 15, 2013 Author Posted October 15, 2013 I think i fixed the PB problem...pls let me know! Almsot finished the interior today... Still need minor touch up, once the glue is dry
MoparWoman Jamie Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 Everything looks good. But I like to point out you could use alittle more paint on the brown area of the dash and also down the sides. Everything else looks good!
High octane Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 You're doin' good Jeff. Every model I build is just practice for my next one. Just ENJOY the hobby and build at YOUR own comfort level.
Bigjeff Posted October 16, 2013 Author Posted October 16, 2013 I found some old rubber at work today and it gave me an idea.... I will try to perfect the technique..got enough rubber for about 300 tries lol!! I wanna see what i can do with a dremel... anyway, here's how they look in the car And all touched up, interior completed! I'm still painting the undercarriage and body atm, should be all done by this week end
