[Striper Swiper]

This is my first WIP and also my first post,I'm new here so I just wanted to say whats up to the people here. This is my second model I'm building I havent built one since I was a kid,so I might not be as experienced as some of you here so bear with me. The kit is a 67 Chevelle Pro Street by Revell. I built the interior its painted with testors dark sea blue and white,dont have an airbrush.. I am still getting used to the camera sorry for the pics

Well welcome to the forums! the interrior looks good. I built this kit a while back you should check it out. So what are your plans for the exterior colour???

Welcome to the forum, I'm looking forward to seeing some of your builds. You picked a good one to start with, one of the all time classics. Your off to a good start with the interior, keep it up and keep us posted.

Welcome abaord dude, looks like you have some good skill.

Welcome! Believe it or not, I started this hobby by doing this kit (a long time ago, during its debut in the 80's)

This kit builds up nicely and has no fitment problems, so you should be good to go.

Also I do not use an airbrush, but I DO use a spray can, as this is the only way to get good, even coverage of large areas with even coats. The body, chasis, engine, etc should be painted with a spray can.

Otherwise, if you have any questions, please ask, we are here to help!

I've added some new pics. I'm kinda at a stand still now. I need to build a spray booth so I can finish the body,thinking about Duplicolor metal flake ocean blue or silver..I have a 69cuda finished but the body gotta get painted also..

Thats all I have for now,thanks for lookin and thanks for the comments..
It will probabally be a couple of weeks till I get these done,since I have nowhere good to spray I need to build a spray booth in a spare room,thats where Ill set up my work area,now its my kitchen table I havent sprayed any thing in years this should be fun . Keep up the great builds guys

The chassis looks great, I love the tires. Have you thought about a two tone paint job? I think the silver and ocean blue would look awsome together. Good luck with the spray booth, and keep up the good work.

I came back to the hobby in 1995 after a 22 year break. I figured I'd be a better builder, but I sucked at it! Then I discovered aftermarket parts, good paint (not the Testors hobby line), learned a ton of techniques and tricks.

That Chevelle is a good kit, I did one a few years ago that came out great. If you want to use Duplicolor paint, use their primer too as the paint is a lacquer base. I was a dining room table builder for years, but now have a dedicated model spot of my own. I do just about all my painting with spray cans, but own 4 airbrushes. I have no paint booth, I just open the basement door, step out a few paces and paint.
