AceOfSpades Posted August 25, 2014 Author Posted August 25, 2014 Magnum interior is done...some small corrections will be made before everything goes together. I added PE CD to make the interior less dull.
AceOfSpades Posted September 2, 2014 Author Posted September 2, 2014 I applied 2 coats of tamiya fine gray primer to challenger body today. This primer is without a doubt the best one on the market in my opinion. The finish is really smooth without any orange peel. Regards, Andraz
AceOfSpades Posted September 8, 2014 Author Posted September 8, 2014 Body parts were painted with Plum Crazy today. I applied 2 coats and am fairly happy with the result. I'll have to wetsand it a bit and apply 1 or 2 more coats. Regards, Andraz
Mopar - D Posted September 9, 2014 Posted September 9, 2014 Andraz a couple years ago I found this PE set for the 09 Challenger. I don't remember what site I bought them from and I can't get there site on the paper to work but it is a real nice set. I'm going to use them when I get around to build mine like my 1:1. Here what they look like if you want to try to find them.
AceOfSpades Posted September 9, 2014 Author Posted September 9, 2014 Thanks for your comments. As for the PE set, I'm aware of it, but everywhere I looked it was out of stock. I think that the model itself has nice enough details and I won't miss this set very much
AceOfSpades Posted November 8, 2014 Author Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) I finally had some time to do some progress again. I have a goal to finish it till the nationals on 15th of november. I don't have much time, so today i applied 2 coats of clear. There are some minor mistakes, but i think i will be able to correct them. I have to apply decals today and a couple of clear coats tomorrow. The shine is OK at the moment, but the pics are not the best because the weather here is really bad and I don't have proper lights yet. Edited November 8, 2014 by AceOfSpades
Mopar - D Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Looking good man you have a lot of work ahead you to get this done by the 15th.
tbill Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 everything looks great so far! that two tone interior is very nice, excellent work so far.
DynoMight Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Clear looks good. A bit everyday and you'll be done in no time.
AceOfSpades Posted November 9, 2014 Author Posted November 9, 2014 Was quite busy with the build yesterday and today. Yesterday i applied the decals (no fake carbon pattern decal on the hood, because i think is ugly), and today i applied another 2 coats of clear and i painted the interior and chassis semi matte black. The engine is also almost finished. So far im pleased with the result. Best regards, Andraz
AceOfSpades Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 Been busy again. Engine, chassis and interior are done. I used some self adhesive 'carpet' for the floor.
AceOfSpades Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 Hi there, its been a while since I last updated this thread I had some mishap with my challenger build just before it was to be finished and I lost my nerves and took some time off Now its time to finally finish it! I had to do some modifications to wheels and this is the first mock-up with 20'' bbs rims.
