The 2015 /16 Red Hot and Rollin Automotive Group Build--Ended

Here's a couple more pictures

Those are some cool colors you're using on that car Dan. No prob on the scribe dude and yes it does work pretty good. I used it this weekend on the BMF for the drivers door chrome trim on the 56. Great to see you in here and I've heard alot of good things on that kit. I'll get your entry in the intro post pal.

This is the new Moebius 65 Plymouth Satellite. I'm going with a yellow gold (HH1) with a white top and black interior. Going with the factory stock build on this one. So far I've installed the front and rear panels and the front iner fender walls before spraying. Here's my progress so far. I BMF the emblems before spraying the yellow gold and then I rubbed it off  Joe the new BMF scrib works great  thanks again  

Lookin' forward to seeing the progress on that engine Seabe. I'd say that engine building is one of my most favorite things about automotive modeling(heck for that matter I like that same aspect in aircraft modeling. lol). I do like getting in there and "going for broke" on engine detail.

 That decal process sounds like a trying one alright. Lookin' forward to seeing where your at when you're able to do so.

No pics, at an inbetween stage on some stuff. Progress is very slow, but at least there is some!

Getting towards the end of the rear suspension on the Williams and think I'll be able to complete the entire assembly soon, which means that can go onto the body.

On the Ferrari the daunting prospect of the engin has started. But very slowly. A lot of small things glued on, which may as well have been moulded in., esp considering the location. And just started on the exhausts. So hope to be at a stage where I can at least show something shortly. Oh, and started to decal the front section, but not much progress there. Except for some serious new language inventions in the process of mating two decals - the main sponsor decal on the nose has a small section the fold over a bump right before the driver. That was.... testing! Speaking of which, I am going to add one more decal before watching MotoGP! 

Thanks Seabe! Any pics or progress from your end?

Well, I got the flames on the hood. I shot 'em a shade darker than the Tamiya X-7 Red base color just to add a subtle effect. I still have to wet sand some of the roughness out before one more clear coat. Here's the hood..............



Here's another view that shows the whole front clip with flames. I was going for a really subtle look going for the "Ghost of Street Demons" look to pay tribute to the Street Demons series of this truck released back in 1983. Just gotta smooth it a little and go for another coat of gloss clear.

Thanks fellas!

 Here's a quick test fit so far after painting the bed. I need to raise the front end just a tad but I'm likin' it so far. Flames came in a couple of weeks ago so I'll get some pics of that pretty soon.

Congratulations Mustang!!

Well I took the 37 Chevy and the 70 Challenger T/A and ended up with a 2nd place award for the ol' T/A.......

 A fella from Mexico IPMS took 1st place with his superb Ferrari 430 build. Anyways here's mine:

Gotcha!!!!! Lookin' forward to seein' you in Austin. You bringin' that 9 car hauler of yours too? I'll more than likely be bringin' the same trio I did last time plus maybe my 37 Chevy. I dunno for sure about the 37 . We'll see.

I'll get you posted right away! Thanks for being a part of this group build Dan and hope if you've got time to throw another one in the ring!

Joe. Let's go with the 5th one with the delivery hot rod on the back. 

Dan: Lemme know which one you want to see in the introductory post buddy!

I just wasn't feelin' the paint job from earlier so in the brake fluid it went to strip everything and started the whole process over again only this time the paint came out smoother and I actually made it to the clear coat this time around Here it is with the paint and the clear. I still have to apply the flames (which I ordered an adhesive template today from Australia) and clear it again. Then it'll be down to polishing and buffing out the clear. We're gettin' there folks!
Here's a mock up with the grille just stuck in place:

Wow, really impressive work.

Jeeeez man!!! Sharp build. I really like the ingenuity that went into this build with trying to figure out how to bring all this stuff together. That had to be a challenge Dan.

Nice details Joe,

I'm just about finished with my C Roll Back. Installed the exhaust stacks and some lights just need to add the wrench on the bed. 

Final details in the front seat:

Yes, those are a set of keys with a scratch built key ring.

The glove box too???? Man. Pics please.

Dang Tim! I can't remember you posting the 65 Malibu but that thing looks just downright incredible! Did you open everything up or did it come hinged? Beautiful build Tim! All your paint finishes come out top notch man! Will be watching for your Camaro build!!

 

Joe, I always cut everything out and hinge it.  The glovebox on the '65 Chevelle is even cut out and hinged.  lol  It was a fun build... my first "real" blown out build, if you know what I mean.

Tim

MOPAR - D

Nice builds Tim. 

 

Thanks buddy!!!

Tim

Doors and trunk on the '68 Firebird are cut out and hinged.

Dan: Love your rollback man and am looking forward to seeing it in Austin! Still think it needed a Boss 302 or Boss 429 given the logo on the side. lol

installed the  hydraulic lines and finished up the interior.  Started to check out some lights. Going to bend some tubing for the exhaust stacks tomorrow             

Working on getting this finished for the Austin show next week. Ive now painted and clear coated the cab and finishing up the interior.  

Nice builds Tim. 

Thanks buddy!  I just started on a '68 Firebird.  Doors and trunk and cut out, but progress will be coming!

Tim

... and couldn't remember if I posted the '65 Chevelle.

Tim: That thing is just beautiful!!! Holy Smokes!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!! and anything else I can think of. It's truly great to see you around these parts again pal. Grab another kit after this one and let's rock tha house man!!!!
