well for the first time since i started it i kind of was like ..... not in the mood and all , so i left it alone ..

been tinkering on a old chop i did on a revell 5-window coupe ....... this was one of my earlyer , just got into plastic modelkits creations .. now i redid some stuff

just for fun , still thinking if i will use it to make a rod in the future or make like a rolling table with the body on and put it in the garage .. would be cool but also take up a lot of space

first time i build it , chopped the roof and added like a worked into the roof kind of sunvisor thing ..back then i loved it , now i'm like what was i thinking looks awfull (shapewise)

that in the end got covered with aluminium spray and polished to look like bare metal , now its a pain to get it off :) lol .. one thing i wanted to try was change the firewall , not like revell intended but more in terms of the real deal ..

cut it out and sanded and sanded to make the styrene much thinner when seen from the front

then to get the very narrow edge you often see .. i used thin copper plate and removed the sunvisor / roof extension

then made a visor with speedholes out of real aluminum , got it bend and shaped so it perfectly fitted the body's and roof lines < its one piece , sides are folded

put a basecoat on it ...

and made a firewall insert and polished that so it reflects , kept it roughly polished and not too perfect , firewall will get more detail

and i need to make a windowframe and mold that against the pillars

basicly just doing this for fun , not real serious project wise .. and actually the paint is quite thick now due to the metal coat .. but fun to work on this

after a long break .. started again ... covered the top edges of the wall with hardwood as a nice finish and its in the theme of the inside of the garage 

 

then decides the outside needed a nice finish as well , made window frames 

the walls are painted white as a base coat , not sure what to cover them with , brick or wood or painted ...back wall window is not finished and the rolling door will get some framing as well

some atmosphere shots
