I only use expoxy putty+normal putty.Maybe you can wet ur finger when using expoxy putty.
Besides,I will also use Vaseline to help me to shape the expoxy putty,very useful. :biggrin:

Thx everybody,progress will be continue tomorrow~ :iceslolan

In addition,something off-tpoic but funny,
below pix are the China Red Flag(of coz is made in china).
A real big car with engine detail(sparks line incleded),a big piece of plate part and 5 remarkably big rims(over 20inch).
The quality is just like Revell,acceptable actually.
Interestingly,It can run by a motor.

So now,everybody guess how much is it (in USD)~~
(I'm not sure if ebay have)
Tell you the answer later. :icon16:

Very cool !
The old styled front fenders suits very well on it.

I've been anxiously anticipating the return of the American Pie! Tsuchiya, I like the new rear window, but I thought you were doing something more like this?

Anyway, it's awesome. Great to have you back!

haha~right.In fact, it only cost $6 USD in Hong kong.This kit have to spent a lot of effort on shaping the body.I will make one after I have finsihed the Vette~ :biggrin:

That is dirt cheap!!!!!!!!

Yea but if the model is that bad your probobly better off buying a revell kit for 9.99 that builds alright.

That's cool tsuchiya. good luck with the vette.

Thanks a lot everybody~
Everything go smoothly.Here are the progress pix today.

Impressive work! Can't wait to see it finished!

:iagree: very nice!

This is some of the most interesting bodywork i have ever seen! Im looking forward to the final product!

One guy had a simular body design on realy car here in Auburn,WA. He spent like $70,000 on the kit. Unfortuantely can't find any pics of it, but here some other ideas:

In my opinion, the screen is slightly too tall - I think it would look better with a few mm trimmed from the top edge.

It might just be the angle of the picture though

Thanks for your idea!
yes,if the screen is too big,it will be very strange.

I agree! The driver would have his nose touching it!... lol!
