This is my wife’s first try at our addition we call Modeling. She has asked me to post some progress pic for the rest of the members comments on how she is doing.
This is the Revell 1/12 Chevy Coupe kit # 07489. She is doing the Street Rod version of the kit. She is trying to do this kit as a copy of the 1957 Street Rod that her father had as a young man befor she was born.
She is going to give this kit to him as a late Fathers Day and Birthday gift.
Please keep in mind this is the first time for her to do this and it is a SKILL LEVEL 5 kit.
Thanks for the good and bad words you have to give for this build. I do have to give Digger and his wife thanks from my wife. The build of the 1970 VW camper is what got my wife wanting to try this.
Thanks alot for all of the good words she is VERY proud of all of your good words. Tigertankman This is her very first kit. That is why she went with the 1/12 scale for the size. She sees all of the ones that I do and she did not think that she could do all of the detail that she wanted to do for her Father. Look for progress pix on the Hot Rod and Muscle Car GB. We will post finish pix at the end of this build. Time line for the finish date will be July 28, 2005 for we are going to Dayton, Ohio to give this kit to her father personally.
Progress pix will be posted later this week. At this time I am having to replace my roof on my house and progress is slow on all builds at this time (model builds that is!).[V][sigh][yuck]
At this time the car is almost finished she still has some things to do on it but here are some progress pix at this time. Keep in mind I had to remove the rear window for her and try to fix some FOG that the glue left on it. the repair did not go well so I had to scratch a new rear window for her. It is not in yet. She has 4 days left to finish it for we hit the road to take this kit to Ohio from Texas to give it to her father on Friday. I hope that you all like the progress on this, My wifes first attempt at ths addiction, we call modeling.
