pa3de8 Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Figured I would start posting more around here. I haven't been able to get much work done and there are some days I am more motivated then others. So I have put some work into my 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS kit. I was able to procure some much needed stock wheels from Scuderia (thanks again!!!) since my set went MIA. I decided I was going to add a wood base to the kit. I am using a piece of cut Styrofoam to be used as a stretch of sidewalk. I am then going to mount a piece of picket fence I found at Wally World in the craft section that I am cutting to fit. So when the base and car is done, it is going to look like it's parked out on the street in front of the white picket fence and sidewalk...

pa3de8 Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Here are a few with the shell on... I really wanted to try and customize thing by adding spark plug wires and adding some heater hoses as well for the first time, but I am a bit nervous about ruining the model...

blunc Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) I don't have an extra one unfortunately... for practice you could make sparkplug holes in sprue for the kit and practice that way...just a thought.
