SPA Modeler

Wow, that is nice!

Looks good Torben! Now go have some bier and ponder which Tamiya kit you need to recharge your modeling batteries.

Torben that Challenger turned out very well my good buddy. Good to see that you tackled a car. Windows.....you almost have to handle with nitrile gloved hands to keep clean. I dip all windows in Future to give 'em that extra shine. The car bodies, I have learned, do all the paint prep work first (i.e. mold line removal, seam filling...etc) and save all the paint work for the last so you can work with the body all the way through the build. After most of the handling is done and just before you are ready to fit the body onto the chassis/ interior and all of that ….then you can get away with painting it in order to avoid any potential damage incurred by assembly handling. I did things bass ackwards with my General Lee build by painting the body first and I don't think I'll do it that way again. Too many close calls and it was really hard to work with being finished up so early.

Thank you guys. You're all too kind. Joe, I do regret not to have dipped the clear parts in Future. I always do that with my canopies and I skipped it here due to pure laziness. The parts were a bit scuffed due to rattling around in the box from the beginning. The Tamiya compound made it look better but far from perfect.
