Thanks it turned out nice but I am going to do some winter weathering to it also.

Thanks Paul, it's coming along well, lots of fun to paint.

I don't know those kits, I wasn't into model cars back then. I bought this kit because it is similar to the 62 Comet I had and I can't find that kit.

Thanks Tom, I'm hesitant to try but I want to learn how to make it look like it's got snow on it.

Thanks Vince, It will be my first time to try a winter scene effect.

Thanks Ken, I hope I can pul off the snow effect. 🙂

Thanks Tom.

Thanks, I really enjoy painting and weathering these cartoon builds.

The hairspray acts as a coating between the two layers of paint, wetting it activates it and you can use a stiff brush to remove the second layer of paint to reveal the colour underneath. It's usually used with a colour coat over a rust colour to give a weathered effect. I'm hoping to spray white over the olive green and then brush it in some areas to reveal the green underneath. Just an idea I hope works. I'm going to try to add snow and ice also. Fingers crossed...although as Anne says...(crossing your fingers) "that doesn't work". lol.

@@ModelCarMinion Yes I remeber this technique now. I think I even thought of trying it out on my Archie-mobile but then opted for the 'salt technique'. I misunderstood you as using it as a clear coat.

Thanks Tom, I'm tempted to stop here but I want to try for a snow camo effect.

Thanks Oron, I hope I can get a good snow effect on it.

Thanks Dan, I hope I can pull off the snow effect. 🤔

Thanks for the comment Ken, these go together quickly and are really fun to paint and weather.

They are all very similar and go together well. I enjoy painting and weathering them, really can't mess it up. 😀

Thanks Daniel, I do enjoy these cartoon kits.

Hi Paul, these are fun to build and paint.

Thanks David, I always enjoy these cartoon builds, they don't have to be so serious.

These kits are easy to build and fun to paint, I'm going to try a winter camo pattern.

I was happy to find the winter camo pics, didn't want just another olive green tank. 😀

Me too, I was glad to find some winter camo pictures, didn't want just another olive green tank. 😀

Thanks Tom, I appreciate your support for all these (10) years.

@@ModelCarMinion There's not very many of the old gang left Steve

@@ramblers69 That's for sure, good to see PapaDan and Tommy back tho'.

Thanks, I'm anxious to start the build.

Thanks for following along Charlie. 🙂

Sorry to hear that, I hope you are able to keep moving ahead with it.

@@ModelCarMinion Yes I will be able to recover but it's just wasting a lot of time. Do I get a bonus for having a Deformed kit to build a Deformed model. 🤕

Thanks to you and PapaDan for hosting the build again. Can't wait to get started on the build.

Thanks for the comment, it's great to have this build to remind me of my first car with all its quirks.

Thanks Tim, it's a quick fun build.

Check out the hpiguys Workshop channel if you want to see the build of the custom version. Here's a link to his video: ua-cam.com/video/_wl-Wx5r2AY/v-deo.html

@@ModelCarMinion saw it. Not sure which version I'd build.

Thanks for the comment Shawn.

Thanks Kenny, those cars had style.

Hi Vince, it does bring back good memories.

Thanks Paul, it's a quick build but looks a lot like my first car.

Thanks for the comment Link, I appreciate it.

Thanks Tom, I'm getting a good collection of my builds of real cars I've had

Thanks Wayne, I now have builds for my first five cars. Lots of great memories and fun to look at them.

Thanks for the comment Steven, the fine point chrome marker is very handy to do the trim.

Thanks Tom, I always thought it was a strange colour combo but it grew on me. I think the car was white originally.

This is a simple curbside kit so no fit issues and lots of options. Check out the hpiguys Workshop channel to see him build the custom box art version.

@@ModelCarMinion Sounds good!

Thanks Oron, I'm getting a good collection of my the real cars I've owned, this is the fifth.

Nice, I've had 25 or 30 cars and don't think they've made a kit for any of them. Even the truck I have now, been #1 midsize truck for years, no kit. Lots of Chevy, Ford Even Nissan but no new Tacoma. Oh well.

Thanks Gary, it's a fairly simple kit so it went together well and I was able to finish quickly.

Thanks Mars, I appreciate the comment.

Thanks for planting that image in my head. 🙄

@@ModelCarMinion Someone was going to point that out so it may as well have been me. We will discuss the Charles Bronson movie "The Watermelon Man" when we meet. 🍉🍉🍉

@@dariosmodelbuilds Sounds good, I don't think I know that movie.

The lock washers provided for the security of the glass unit and interior shell is something you'd find in the old Jo-Han kits.

The do make for a quicker build and less handling for assembly.

Thanks Ard, I like to find kits that resemble cars I've owned.

Thanks Donnie, I appreciate the comment.

Thanks Rick, brings back good memories of my first car.

I guess it depends on the type of paint you use, I use mostly water based craft acrylics so I usually prime everything first, it helps the paint adhere.

@@ModelCarMinion Thank you for your reply and insight. If we use Enamels, is it still better to Prime as well? or can we paint directly on the plastic? cheers.

@@southpaw5483 I don't use enamels but I've seen others use them without primer. It may be best to test it first on a plastic spoon or plate to make sure. Dooing a light sanding and washing the parts first may help with the adhesion.

I don't remember having any problems with the kit, keep at it.

I'm finding the 0.7 mm fine point very handy.
