Richard Cheals
Brave man, going for that glitter look - gotta try these effects,though. Another great A body build 👍

Jv
Thanks Richard
Yes I guess most think I should be shot for it
But I guess we all have to try it one time lol
I just bought a box of spare parts
And think I will do a wrek next time
But I think best I finished the 3 I started on now first

Richard Cheals
That's right, JV, it's good to try these effects/techniques.

I've been building up to 5 kits at a time, but I'm thinking that this way you end up not doing justice to any of them! For 2022 I'm going to focus on one at a time - so far it seems that the details are receiving more attention, we'll see how it goes after a few more builds.

That's a great collection of cars & trucks in your stash, not so many in mine but there is one particular vehicle I would love to have - 73' Pontiac Grand Am 2-dr Colonnade HT in 1/25 scale. I had one from new & drove 20,000km across the US then shipped it back to NZ, have the Lindberg 1/32 kit of the 74' model but it has different grille & taillights 😒

Jv
Yes Richard
Always most interesting to have a model of a car you had
Mine is mostly of cars I like
I started collecting kits after giving one as a gift to someone else
The following week I vent and got 6 kits for myself
That was September last year
Now got kit 56 last weekend
Last year I was working 65 hr weeks
Had no time to do anything
This year I hope to make a change and work less
I hope to jus do 5 day week
And will try to get it down to 50 hrs a week

Bill Newcomer
Good lick on your work, life, play balance. I shall be following your Chevelle build. A 68 Chevelle Malibu was my first car R.I.P.

Jv
Thanks now im back to work agen I had 2 weeks of over Xmas
And had another 2 weeks of being back to work now for a few
Weeks and wasent back long before thay want more hrs agen
So my projects have been on hold a bit
But im firm on now
no more weekend work its my time lol
The chevy Malibu is also a nice car

Jv
I love to have grown up whed all the cool cars you have in the us bill
But I was born in Australia
Grew up in Denmark Scandinavia
And have now been back in Australia for the last 30 years
I would love to build some of the cool cars that were made here down under
Unfortunately the very small amount of kits that I have seen of Australian cars are not anything cool at all
I did have a few cars in Denmark
And did go to Canada and the us when I was young
But I always loved the American muscle cars
But I think Australia has very cool cars to
We also got a bit of the us cars here

Bill Newcomer
I have been to Australia twice in the 80's I saw a few American cars. I like the Holden (Commodore?) and the Falcon from the 70's. Those little Sport Utes are kinda cool to.

Bob Hall
Interesting paint choice, unique for sure, look forward to the finished product !

Jv
Thanks Bob yes a bit different
Have put models on hold for a bit
I have been buying kits
And found i need to spend a bit more on tools and paints
I'm just not happy whed the finish I get at the moment
But will get around to it

Bob Hall
I know the feeling, I haven't finished a car since July. One day ! Still looks cool though !

Jv
Thanks Bob
Yes its a fun experiment

Dominik Weitzer
i'm interested, how that glitter will look like. there is a lot of blingbling!

Jv
Lol yes Dominik its hard to get a good pic of it
I'm not sure myself how it will turn out
The glitter gives it a ruff surface
And it will be interesting what happens when I sand it
Time will tell

Mona
I owned a 68 Chevelle for 28yrs ..Black with a yellow nose and flames (when I bought it )..Nice build , interested to see end result

Jv
Thanks mona yes I like to do a bit on it but thinking to wait
To I get a airbrush and some better paints
High on my list of what to get
I just buy to many kit at the moment to spend on other things now
I got 62 new kits in last 4 days
And got a great del on another large lot
I hope I don't get any good deals for a bit now lol

Jv
Thanks Lawrence I started this build before I found out about panel lines and a no of other things
I may just sand it all back at some point and do things properly
