mirage Posted December 30, 2019 Author Share Posted December 30, 2019 thanks, at the time I did not find many photos about it but only screenshots on restorations taken from "you tube" and I interpreted a little and I trusted, wrongly, in the shape of that of the kit. But now the omelette is done ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stickframe Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Hi Mirage - nice build all around. The exhaust reminds me of my dad’s ‘64 Riviera - turns out he had a built 426 nail head with dual 4 barrel Carters in it - but it looked dead stock. He had dual exhaust with two in line Flow Masters and Cherry Bombs - the sound effect was great - rolling up to an intersection or in a parking lot it had a clear, nasty rumble, accelerating it had a brutal scream, but once cruising back to the nice rumble - what a car with great sounds. Sorry for the trip down memory lane, I really like your build. Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mirage Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 ... to simulate the rivets of the crossbows, impossible to pierce being of a very hard metal, which cost me 4 tips without even scratching it, I poured a drop of vinyl glue with a toothpick, for physical reasons it forms a perfect circle, once dry I painted. The result is even better than photoengraves that are too flat ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
