caudleryan Posted August 9, 2009 Share Posted August 9, 2009 (edited) I started on this model a couple of days ago. It will be built completely out of box. I don't know a whole lot about cars, so I'll let the pics speak for themselves. First, I started with this thing and assembled that thing and glued it to that other thing. I then glued the engine together and painted it. After that I glued on the other little things, painted them and then I gave the whole engine a coat of future. I then glued the radiator and the other stuff and painted and futured it. Here is a pic of the body. The color is Italian Red. More to come as I progress. RYAN.

PNW_Modeler Posted August 10, 2009 Share Posted August 10, 2009 I've got this one in my stash. Looking forward to seeing the finished results here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caudleryan Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 (edited) That is if I finish it on time. I'm notorious for not finishing any models. RYAN. Edited August 11, 2009 by caudleryan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WymanV Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Oh c'mon Ryan-it's a car! Once you get past the interior and the engine it's all downhill and you're over halfway there already B) Besides, it would kinda suck to not see this one done. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caudleryan Posted August 12, 2009 Author Share Posted August 12, 2009 (edited) No, it's target practice! In all honesty, I haven't finished a single model yet, although I do have about 20 unfinished models. Entering in this group build might be the answer to finally getting one finished. I am working on the rear drive train right now- actually , I was working on it until the power cut off from a severe thunderstorm. Dang! I should have taken some pics of that lightning, but my camera ran out of juice. I'll try to have another update in a couple of days. RYAN.

1/48 scale pilot Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Looking good Ryan. I am guilty of the same thing (not finishing my models) I have about five thousand kits in progress... having a deadline does help, especially when people are watching. And we ARE watching...

caudleryan Posted August 13, 2009 Author Share Posted August 13, 2009 Hey there. I got a little bit more done to my Camaro. I painted the tub flat black. I will future parts of it later tonight. Dash board is painted, also Hood is painted. And last, but certainly not the least, I painted the door side panels. I'm painting the inserts black. Some touch ups are needed, but I'll get to those later. See, ya. RYAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caudleryan Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hello. I have done a little more to the Camaro. No pics right now, but really soon. I have the seats painted and did a little detail painting. I did a test fit and everything seems to fit alright. The headers are giving me some serious fit problems, but I improvise, adapt, and overcome (5 points to the one who can tell me which movie that came off of ). Pics to come shortly. RYAN.

caudleryan Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hey, everyone. I'm sorry that there hasn't been an update for a while. I am just not really in the mood to do anything, much less working on a model. My mother has been stressing the crap out of me about getting a job and paying her back for the repairs to my truck. Like I told her, I will pay you back when one of the 50+ jobs I applied to will ever call me back and offer me a job. Sorry, wandering off subject here, I had to respray the body because I accidently spilled flat black on the body. I just sprayed it and I will start wet sanding the body as soon as it dries. I have both headers attached(what a dedicated pain in the rear that was trying to get those put together!) and I did some more work on the interior. Hopefully, I'll get some more pics up. RYAN.

caudleryan Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Hey everyone. I'm still working on this one. I just got a new job working at the local mall. I'm working from 9pm to 5am and I'm tired as hell when I get home. I will work on the car some more when I get the time. RYAN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
