    Hey Chris;
    Here’s a little suggestion for those who want to eliminate that bit of sloppiness in kits where metal axles are a bit long. You know those clear plastic tubes that protect small brushes when they are new? Cut a bit from them, usually a couple of millimetres or so will do it, insert the tiny pieces between wheel and axle housing or chassis or whatever… no sloppy wheels!
    As always, I enjoy your work, and your demonstrations of great ideas for improvement.

    I just got this kit delivered today from the internet. In about two weeks I'll have the actual car. Like the one you drive! Have been looking for a 66 Wildcat for quite some time. Found it in another state and have paid for it and am awaiting it to be shipped. So looking forward to building the kit to match the car. Red body with black interior. It does appear that the dashboard in the kit is patterned off a 1965 Wildcat. My real car has a split bench with column shift and no console. I'm 57 and fondly remember building glow in the dark monster model kits in the mid 70's. I wish I'd held on to them. I think there were about 12 different ones in the series. I've never watched a model building video before and really appreciate all the tips, descriptions of the paints and tools. Excellent job of building it and keeping it interesting. I think I found a new hobby. Build models of classic cars I've owned.

    Looks great. My dad actually built these back in the 1960's he worked for Buick motor division from 1965 till 2004 building the engine's. This particular car had the 425 Cubic inch in it . Most of your Buicks of this era were built in Flint, Michigan where I'm from. Great looking build Chris.

    Our first new "Detroit boat" was a 66 Buick Sportwagon, ordered from the factory in Astro Blue. Had the skylights. The Wildcat engine, a 340, was painted GM orange (spent more time fixing the rear axle bearings than the engine!). Dad wanted a good car to haul the family around in. I learned to drive in it. Memories!

    I like that you showed what happens when you forget to wash parts. The body color is amazing and the white interior works great with it.

    With all the unused extra parts and decals you've accumulated, you should do some kit bashing videos on how you could use parts from other kits to customize a model.

    Fun review to watch! I love the concept of a "weekend build". Glad to see some else use Testors graphite metallic paint for a wash. In the early 1990s, I discovered by accident how that very thin paint was useless when trying to cover a large area. I did find that it was PERFECT for making valve cover fins, chrome wheel lug nuts as well as chrome grill wash really pop. I love your suggestion that a simplistic kit like this still builds up into a nice shelf model and better still...that you can involve your younger family members in the fun. The future of our hobby lies in the hands of young people. Anything we can do to drag them away from their computer games would be a step in the right direction. Yet another great inspirational video Chris. Thank you!

    Great job Chris! Say what you want about the simplistic style of the older kits, but you never had to fight to get the interior/chassis into the body shell. And the cars always sat square on all 4 wheels. Too often on many of the newer kits I find that I am fussing with the stance, or fighting to get the interior/chassis into the body. I love the older kits!!

    @jsteel8288 4 роки тому +1

    I'm always looking forward to these build reviews, not least because of the ingenious ways in which the likes of silver Sharpies and gel pens can be used to shortcut the process of highlighting chrome/stainless steel/aluminum details. In fact, I've extended their use into building 1/32 scale aircraft, where I've discovered, for example, that a Silver Sharpie faithfully replicates the natural-metal frames on a P-51B/C canopy: I've also started using various colors of fine-tip (0.2mm) gel pens to replicate switches in cockpits, or the surrounds of instruments; it's so much easier than using a fine-tip paint brush.

    Hello, I remember when these cars were brand new, state of the art at the time and Buicks top line cars. These kits from then used to have metal screws where the pins go to hold the chassis now and the hoods were held on with metal clips. Some kits still have the tabs where you put the metal clips for the hood. For one is '53 ford F100 pickup truck kit, the '57 T- Bird and the '58 Chevrolet Impala for a few. On the bottom back side of the hood and the behind the fire wall are the tabs for the clips. The hole in the firewall is still there. I (believe it or not) still have several hood clips and used a few on the F100 hoods and it works great. Did not work for the '57 T-Bird though the tabs got to small for the clips to work, to bad they don't use the clips and screws any more. OOPS showing my age now. LOL I really love the color choices and the way you assembled the kit as a slight custom. Maybe the kid damaged the original hood and had to settle for a fiberglass custom hood. I am now going to look at the next one now about the cannon.

    When you started to paint the transmission, I said "good old Testor's silver." Then the caption came up, "Good ole Testor's silver." Gotta love those old Detroit boats. The kind of cars that doesn't have (Your state name here) plates, it's got Liberian registration.

      @@AvengerII Many cruise ships are registered in Liberia for tax purposes and many 60s and 70s cars were enormous. When I was a kid my family had an Olds F-85 that comfortably fit me and my 3 sisters in the back seat.
      The line about Liberian registration came from a comedian who talked about his dad owning a 1978 Buick, he then paused for the right phrase, Battlestar Galactica.

    I remember this kit well from my childhood. My dad built a lot of kits and this is one that I loved. Unfortunately, when he was at work and my mom wasn’t watching me as well as she could have, I took the model down from the shelf - just to look at it. Sigh. Yeah. I pretty much destroyed it. My dad was *not* happy.
    Great build. Nice blue. The one we had was red.

All the ones in mine were warped and I found out after spraying them. I put it under hot water and had to bend it back into shape. Other than that it's such a great kit. And it's a BOAT hahahahah

    That's what I call a classic example of mid-sixties muscle in a full size car. I would really love it if the molds for the convertible kits are around because that's how you could make a custom show car, put it on a turntable and make believe with other models of 1966 cars and call it an auto show display. They really need to dig up the old molds and come out with new reissues of kits so you can go wild with kitbashing, and make stuff they didn't have back in the day.

    Just got into model building and I’ve used a lot of your videos for tips. One thing I’m really struggling with for whatever reason is chrome trim around the windows and front and back.. could you give an in-depth video on that ir any pointers for that matter. Thanks so much !

    I used to have one of those. You could like, have a concert in the back seat! It handled like shit, but it was a nice soft ride at lower speeds. I think at best it got ten, or twelve miles to the gallon. I LOVED IT!!!!!

    Good afternoon, when I was a kid i used to build a lot of model kits. I've always had a passion for cars. ' older and customs ' and now as an adult iv restored a couple of my own cars, and customized some also. But i got to give credit to all those model kits. But that's another story. Lol. You did a beautiful job on the Buick, I've always wanted a car like that, to bad i never found a decent one, or i would have built it just like that. The color choice you used on the body is beautiful it's like it was made for the Buick, on a scale from 1- 10. I give it a 20. 👍🤓. Like I said she looks AMAZING, keep up the good work. And keep them videos coming. God bless. And have a great day.
    Your buddy. ROBERT FROM CALIFORNIA. 😷👍🖖✌🎉🌮🌮😇.

    Man I wish AMT would release (or re-release) a '67 Bonneville - this build reminds of a '67 Bonneville I built as a kid in dark Caramel candy. 🚗

    • @gsbostic

      Enjoy those Testors paints. They seem to be all but gone these days. I think they went out of business or something.

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  4 роки тому

      If it runs out and the rumors are true that Rustoleum is shutting it down, I'll switch to Tamiya Silver or something.
      But I just bought a six pack of it, so with 104 kits per year on average I'm good for a year two.

    Great job on this one, I really love the look of those cars and I remember them from growing up in the 60s. I'm waiting on my Land Rover and I think I will pickup the Chevy Luv pickup and I'm thinking of adding a couple of car kits also. Thanks again and super build, best wishes to you and your family.
