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

Pics dude Pics! lol

one side of the GTO

Dayum dude! That looks sharp!!!!

I got to re-looking at the hood and scoop and decided that the scoop needed some engine numbers on it. I had a set of decals that said "BOSS 429" on them so I decided to cut the BOSS part out and trim up the 429 numbers and apply them. I'll let 'em dry out and clear it in the coming days. I think it added a nice touch to the front of the truck.



I now have all the Street Demons kits as of last Thursday. I see another 429 going into at least one of these...possibly the 54 Chev or the 41 Willys. Decisions, decisions, decisions....... Hmm....

the 429 looks sharp and the chevy gets my vote  boy this forum is busy

I'm actually thinking the 41 Willy's for the Boss and come to think of it I've got a dual quad 396 Chev for that '54 in the stash bins. 'Course I've also got a SOHC 427 stashed away too...........Jeez!!!!

th 1956 ford victoria is complete

Man I've gotta say........that's one sharp ride right there. I really like those colors and the BMF work.

thank you now wrap up the gto and back to air planes

Airplanes....man it's gonna be hard to transition back to that. lol

I was applying BMF to the passengers door window trim and looked over at the truck bed and realized I haven't posted any pictures of the wood planks and mini wheel tubs that I fabricated in the bed yet. I figured I'd get that posted up this morning.





and then a close up of the license plate retaining hardware:

You have an eye for detail and yes I get these mood swings trying to get some badges 

That Victoria is soooo beautiful.

Great to see you Misty!!

Thank you

Joe  do you have screw driver to tighten your license plate   They look cool on it  

Wet sanding the clear coat I burned through to the primer so it's in for a new paint job. Still going to be same colors. 

Dan: On the screwdriver bit......

As far as the paint goes...........I feel your pain brother. Looking forward to the results.

Come on with it Seabe!

Okay, so here's the pics! The Williams shot shows that the heat shield can do with another layer, so will get to that! At least it's accessible... But here is the initial join of everything. But for this, I did progress a little with some electronic boxes, started with the rear wing and some initial decals on the body and the sidepods.

Don't be too harsh on the F310B - remember it is 43rd scale! 

Front end decalled:

...and the exhausts with some staining.

And that's where I'm at at this stage. Feel better having progressed a bit, esp on the Williams. Getting into it again... slowly but surely!

Dang Seabe! That does look good. Are the radiators going to be visible at all on the Williams? Great progress on the F310B as well and I like that exhaust staining. Man ...43rd scale eh? Good to see you're back at it again and lookin' forward to more. 

Crown: Thanks for reminding me on that. Got it covered....

man thats something else I cant see that small even with a mag glass x 1000  you da man 

LOL! I completely overlooked that detail. Once you mentioned it I was like, "Oh yeah....he's right!"

And the registration decals are on.............................



The top of the plate is a little uneven but there aint no way to see it with normal vision. I need 1.5x corrected vision normally and I couldn't tell with the glasses on. I did some more work on the passenger door hinges as far as paint goes but progress was a little slow this morning.

thats something well done this other side of BMF on the GTO

That BMF job looks good crown. What color is that paint you're using?

I'm getting an idea for a future build from this color. I can't tell anything bad about that BMF from the pictures you posted. Did the BMF just not lay down right? I've come to use photos as a true building aid as they don't lie especially with the macro setting. I've walked away from a few building sessions very frustrated but at least knowing what to fix after taking a few macro shots. lol

thats very true it looks ok through my lamp/mag glass but the pic looks funny oh well just picking fly sh... out of pepper! finished windshield tirm. that truck looks awesome 

Thanks crown! All in all this old Revell kit has got to be among the worst fitting kits I've seen yet. I'm sure there's others but this one is among 'em. I've got fit issues with the windshield and the doors as well as inner fender wells that have thrown me off track but I keep chuggin' along nevertheless. The BMF adventure turned out ok and I managed to get the passenger side door shoe horned in there and got it to look half decent. I messed with the photos to bring the red out as close to what it actually is here..
 

that truck sits just fine and the rest minnor stuff test fit front end of the goat
