Progress of my Plymouth GTX '67....again

proosen · #1 02-24-2005, 03:10 PM

Feeling confident enough to show some progress on this problem child of mine.
What's happend before getting this far can be seen on this thread, didn't want to take the old thread up again as it's a bit dated as of today. Anyway, got a new paint job on waiting to cure thoroughly before polishing, got some engine detail done and also got the interior going. Making my own exhaust system with the kits mufflers and some styrene stock which is going to exit just in front of the rear wheels. Have some aluminium tips on it today and it's waiting for some paint before attaching it to the headers.
And tha...tha...tha...that's all folks.

At least for the time being.

Good to see you back in (at least modelling) buissness again! I´m anxious to see this baby at "the Open", I hope you´ll get it done in time!

Keep it up buddy!

Got some stripes on it now and the interior is coming together. Better pics will come as soon as it's finished, the sun is down when I get home from work so you'll have to bare with this for a while. I cut the stripes from Microscale's plain black decal sheet and just stuck them on one by one. Sanded and polished the paint just the other night so now I'm quite hopefull that I will finish it in time for IPMS-Open in April. Going to be home for two weeks with my youngest son, he is starting at kindergarten on monday and the first two weeks is a soft start to get used to the new people and environment. Hopefully I can do some more building when he takes his daytime nap. Enough small talk, let's go down to the pictures.

Very nice! How did you do your guages? They look almost perfect?

Well, it's nothing fancy. A steady hand, a fine brush and some paint. It was a bit fiddly and I did get paint where I didn't want it, but it can hardly be seen in real life so I'm pleased with the result.

Made some progress and got the BMF and panel lines done. Also sprayed Alclad chrome on the bumpers and front grill. Have to wrap this one up soon as it's going to the contest table in about two weeks. Unless something really bad happens that's no problem. Have to make a new windscreen as I messed it up trying to tint it slightly green, the rear window turned out fine but not the other one

Well, that's what it's all about...try, try again until you are satisfied.
