Rallychef Posted October 3, 2008 Posted October 3, 2008 nice colour, great finish ~ puts my vipers "mooncrater finish" to shame, But thats another story, and needs repaired over the weekend. Regards Ian
AnonymousDFB1 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Posted October 4, 2008 A fair amount done today. Rear suspension and drive shafts done. Engine and floorpan done. Interior done. All ready to be put together. Ready for final assembly. More in a few days.
CPNGROATS Posted October 4, 2008 Posted October 4, 2008 NICE>>!!!!!! keep up the good work... Corvette Cheers, ggc
AnonymousDFB1 Posted October 5, 2008 Author Posted October 5, 2008 Just looked at the decal on the bonnet/hood and I'm not happy with it. Even with Microsol it hasn't settled well and has cracked in a couple of places. I might try and remove it and just go with the cool silver finish If necessary I can respray the bonnet/hood.
AnonymousDFB1 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Posted October 6, 2008 Took the decal off today and the hood/bonnet plus a small area on the nose cone will need respraying., no worries though I can do it.
Diesel Gypsy Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Shame about the decal & rework Mish. Was the damage caused by the Microsol or by the removal of the decal. The reason I ask is that I've had trouble with Microsol & Set reacting with acrilic paint finishes, including Klear.
AnonymousDFB1 Posted October 7, 2008 Author Posted October 7, 2008 The decal was c**p and yes the sol did take off the acrylic but I was expecting that I used a fair amount to soften it for removal. It's no biggy though. I'll try and put some pics up later today, another busy day here I'm afraid, job centre and interview today.
Diesel Gypsy Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Good `ol Monogram decals ahe, they can be right sods sometimes. Good luck with the respray. And good luck with the interview Mish. I hope it comes good for you
AnonymousDFB1 Posted October 7, 2008 Author Posted October 7, 2008 The damage The repair Thanks for the good luck Dave, just got this lot done before I need leave.
Diesel Gypsy Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Thats amazing Mish, what a save. You'd never know it had been damaged. Cracking job.
Stevieboy Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Thats amazing Mish, what a save.You'd never know it had been damaged. Cracking job. Hi All, Just been looking at the pic's Mish you have done a good job there I had a nightmare on Sunday with the 69 Mach 1 absolutly everything was going great I had built the engine and done 2 coat's of paint to the body did a quick rub down and got everything ready for the final coat I had done 3 sides and on the last side the spray paint seemed to jam for a split second and then just sprayed out everywhere and the damage was done-I got in touch with Sean to ask for his hammer ! but after a good rest and back in the shed this morning I think I have pulled it back will know tomorrow but all else is going good engine is done and wired and the wheel's have been painted. 42 year's a modeller and I still can't get it right?? Stevieboy
seanrgb Posted October 9, 2008 Posted October 9, 2008 Nice Recovery Mish ...those decals are a pain in the bum and never seem to go right .... Personally I think that looks great in silver
AnonymousDFB1 Posted October 9, 2008 Author Posted October 9, 2008 A little bit more done today. Body and rolling chassis are now together. Just some final detailing and the chrome work and she's done.
wkennerley Posted October 10, 2008 Posted October 10, 2008 What a beauty Mish, well done. I have just acquired an ERTL 1962 Chev Corvette, hope I can make it up half as good as yours. Need to finish my Ferrari F-50 first though!! Wayne
AnonymousDFB1 Posted October 11, 2008 Author Posted October 11, 2008 Well she's done. Not a bad little build, a few errors in the instructions. Many thanks to CPNGOATS for donating the kit.
