tim boyd Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 With all the interest in the old AMT Funny Car kits, thought I would post this OnLine How-To from my Fotki On-Line Model Car Builds album. This is a quick, out of the box rather than a detailed project, so those looking for a super-detailed model should probably pass on the attached link. But for those who want a quick overview of the model, and how I built it and added some basic details, click on the link below. I recommend that you use the "Roll" feature, so you can quickly scroll through the pictures while reading my captions below each photo. Enjoy...and thanks for looking...TIM http://public.fotki.com/funman1712/tim-boyd-on-line-mo/tim-boyd-on-line-ho-3/
Nitrozilla Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Excellent work on the Nova. And the Ivo Charger. And the 2 Snow Charger's. I liked a lot of stuff on your Fotki pages and learned some good tips as well. Bravo Tim, Bravo.
bobthehobbyguy Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Nice looking model. I remember seeing when you were using the plane decals.
Muncie Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Love - it, very cleanly done have a couple in the queue - thanks for the how-to
tim boyd Posted February 19, 2015 Author Posted February 19, 2015 Thanks Guys...really appreciate the feedback & comments. . Joe - glad you got some good tips out of all of that...and appreciate the comments on the other cars. Yes, most of those were built 45 years ago using the ultimate in super-detailing techniques available then (did anyone notice the intake manifold pop-off valves on the '70 Charger funny car???) ,,,,they don't hold a candle to some of the projects underway in this forum folder right now, but I also think they hold their own pretty well considering.... Cheers everybody...TIM
Skip Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Tim, I remember that Car from the first time around. Still a beauty! Gotta wonder if those "Airliner Decals" are still around? They sure fit in with the graphics that were being used about that time. Taught me to look around at other stuff with a different eye especially when it could be converted for use on a model car.
iBorg Posted February 21, 2015 Posted February 21, 2015 Hopefully this is another kit on the radar to be reissued.

Skip...I was wondering the same thing about those airliner decals. Building Airliner models seems to still be a popular sub-genre of aircraft modeling, so one would thing that those decals - or something similar - would still be around. Thanks for remembering the original articles - good to know that it made in impression! Best regards...TIM
Terminator-Fox Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I love the look of that Nova. Nicely done!
