nkempf95 Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 This is coming along nicely. I really like the look of that grill. I might try that sometime. Is there anyway you could post a picture of your booth? I'm looking to put one together for myself
1hobby1 Posted April 7, 2015 Author Posted April 7, 2015 Thank you! And yes, here is the booth I've been using. I am no expert but this seems to be working. I've gotten some great advice from users on this forum about putting a booth together. I'm using a plastic bin with a bilge blower attached. Works good with the over spray, fumes are still a small issue since I'm spraying duplicolor from the can, but it's nothing that an open door can not fix.
1hobby1 Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Thank you! I'm happy with the outcome. The paint job isn't perfect in my eyes, I just need more practice and experience in all aspects of a paint job from prep to priming to wet sanding. This is my 4th build. However, I never expected the color to look this good Lol! It's a great blue. I highly recommend it!
nkempf95 Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) I was thinking about giving a plastic tote a go. Just wasn't sure if it would give me enough room but it looks like they're big enough. Thanks! Edited April 8, 2015 by nkempf95
Belugawrx Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Looks great so far Remember to straighten out those lamp lenses before glue.... Keep it going Cheers
1hobby1 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 Looks great so far Remember to straighten out those lamp lenses before glue.... Keep it going Cheers Will do! Those were just placed in the slot for the picture. Not glued yet, I will use your advice! Thank you
1hobby1 Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Today I was able to get the windows in, interior mounted, firewall and the chassis to the body. I have learned a lot about modeling with this build and am very excited for the finished product. It's getting there! Edited April 9, 2015 by 1hobby1
1hobby1 Posted May 4, 2015 Author Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Finally had some time to get back on this project, the front and rear bumpers needed clear coat as well as the hood. Just finished the hood! Edited May 4, 2015 by 1hobby1

1hobby1 Posted May 5, 2015 Author Posted May 5, 2015 Only the engine pics Yea, I was able to figure out how to make sure they show up the right way with my phone. Yet another lesson learned! Always learning hahah
1hobby1 Posted May 23, 2015 Author Posted May 23, 2015 Hey guys, had some time to get back on this project, was able to get some progress on some small details. Fog lights and front splitter were installed, the wheels,door handles, locks and turn signals were all painted on. Small details are all that's left and some window trim coming soon! Home stretch! Here is how she sits now :
1hobby1 Posted May 24, 2015 Author Posted May 24, 2015 Looks great!! Nicely done! Thank you! I can't wait to finish it. Has been taking me way to long to do this haha
