Revell Monte Carlo SS

[Rich]

Today's update.

Got the paint fixed up, and went back to assembling. After some cursing, and the winshield and back window popping out...its more or less in 1 piece.

This kit is turning out to be a fitment nightmare like none other.

Ill be posting up a pic after the superglue has had a chance to dry a bit.

Tomorrow....Re-installation of windshield and back window. Detaling will continue, and some more polishing.

I reckon this kit will end up on the 'never finished' list!!!!

I hate it once a major cock up slows a model, unless it is an R34 of course!

I LOVE MY R34!!! I HAVE AN R34!!! :flash:

I agree it may end up on the never finished list. I havent done a model in a while, so im not surprised that I cocked it up.

Oh well, you only get better with practise, and Ive got some other kits here which im killing to get started on anyways.

I just dont have the urge to finish this kit, now that its so budget looking. Ill probably get around to finishing it eventually, hopefully

Stick with it....you learn by your mistakes

I bet you all thought I gave up on this kit. Well the truth is I kinda did give up, well for a bit at least.

I just put the body into the CSC a few minutes ago, and that will need some time. In my spare time I have finished an old 96 Ford Explorer Limited thats been sitting around here for a while. Didnt turn out the best, but I need not be too picky until I get more practise. It will be a good addition to my so-far sad collection.


Pics of the explorer will be up as soon as the film is developed, as I figure that finished kits deserve good pics, whereas build-up projects can be shown with the webcam.

Ill update on the monte when i get it all cleaned up.

Never hurts to say it again

Yep, I wear gloves. Infact I got a couple of boxes of lab rubber gloves from the mill lab where I worked during the summer. They are thin, but are really protective. I used them for doing bodywork on my Caprice as well. I doubt they are that expensive,since they are meant for single- use, and when I run out I will call them and buy a case of them.
