1973 Chevrolet El Camino

[Deathtrap]

I've been gone for quite a while so had to do some catching up.
Love the detailing that you have done so far. Keep up the good work.

Hello again! Thank you, Willimo and Deathtrap! I appreciate it!

I've forgot to show the instrument used for hinge bending:



And a little more progress about tail lights

Hello again!

Some little progress on body. Slightly changed stamp line on front fenders. It should be curved.



Rear springs were down sized (minus 3 mm) to lower rear part of a car.



Thank you for interest!

Hello again! Thank you for comments!

Here are some progress:



While I was finishing the body and fixing the wheel arches, the moldings on the wings were worn out, plastered, in general, "blurred".



I did the following: With a Tamiya knife with a double blade, I scratched a new embroidery along the wheel arch perimeter. Then, with an ordinary scalpel, I've removed a corner of excess resin along the perimeter of each arch. It's a painstaking job.






Let's move on: guitar string gate cables



Here are 2x1mm magnets from Aliexpress. But you have to be careful: I knew about the polarity and it seemed to me that I had glued both magnets correctly. Of cource I screwed up! These crumbs in your fingers turn over just like that! So draw the polarity with a marker. This is a sure thing.



Yes, while I was updating all the moldings, the scriber jumped off several times. And for some reason it is on the cargo body. I filled the scratches with a CA glue, but not a simple one. Here's the glue:

Yes, it is polished well, unlike a simple CA, but it is transparent! I was have to add black resin dye to it, just a little bit, otherwise it dries badly.



*I also tried to restore the badly casted trim lines on the couch



Thank you for interest and Happy holydays!
