Looking real good so far John. A Scooby is actually one car I would like to own in real life. Always fancied one but the big sell was this winter when one pulled up next to me at the traffic lights. Nice Packed snow and ice and the guy just put it into launch control and the second the lights changed he was gone!!! Might of helped a bit that he had studded tyres but any how...... wicked.

I digress.

Colour looks right but I have to ask, why didn't you use the "proper" colour that you got off your mate?

Hi Ian, the 2K was on thick side. If i was to use it for the airbrush the solvent would of killed the plastic mate, so didn't bother using it. He was saying he's got about eight litres of Scooby blue in his garage i can have if i want it free, i'll give you three guesses what i said. It'll look very nice on my Capri lol.

Have fun, John

 

[Ian M]

Not the two tone green one you posted on here?!?!?!

Buy another one!!!!!

Ian M

 

[Centurion3RTR]

Thats the one Ian, she needs some work mate and to be honest Wendy would kill me if i got another one lol. I could aways do me Focus though lol.

Have fun, John

 

[Ian M]

LOL! a focus is scooby paint. That would be different.

Some more work over the weekend, and thought it was heading for the bin. Finished getting all the decals on and as it was nice and sunny yesterday i sprayed some clear lacquer (halfords) and it started to react with the plactic, under three coats of primer and three coats of blue!! Need to find some other brand of lacquer if i'm going to build car on a regular basis. All i'm going to say is "thank god for Pledge Multi Surface Wax", i just brushed it onto the affected areas and when it was dry sanded it back and polished it up. All nice and smooth now so the bin is back where it belongs, under the bench.

90% of the lights are in, again "thank god for Pledge Multi Surface Wax". Fitted one light at a time dry then with a brush run Pledge around it to glue it in place. That way it doesn't frost up and it doesn't matter if the catch the lense.

Ron matey, the aerials on this are like buses. You don't see one for ages then two come at once :grinball2:

Have fun, John

Good save John. Don't you just hate it when that happens. I sprayed a model race boat with a rattle can. five coats, wet sanded between each coat. put a coat of clear over it the following weekend and it crinkled up like crazy! Bugger.

The scooby is looking great.

Talk about luck

Was looking for something today, something completely different to what i found. I've only found some decals for the helmets, they're from the 2002 car but they have the same "555" flash. The trademark gold wheels are ready to fit and i made a start on Colin & Nicky, i just had to have the spot lights on (it's the law lol) so i'm going on the frist photo of the scooby because you can only see it's bum. All in all i'm getting there, slowly.

John mate this looks the dogs so far i have to say i admire the the folks who can do car kits well, i can never get the paint right on them, thats why i stick to tanks. Great job so far dude will keep watching.

scott

 

[Centurion3RTR]

Well Scott, it's only luck i've got this far mate. I've made a few mistakes but i've managed to hide them lol. Had some time to get the suspension done today so i can hide it all under the sump guard and tank guards, the wheels are on and all of them set on the floor so at lease i got it straight. Just need to get some blue for the suits and i can get the interior in and that should be the car finished, i'm trying to get that done for thursday as i'm away friday. Going to Santa Pod for some drag racing with the "lads" so you know what that means, tent sat in a field with loads of beer and a BBQ and listening to the cars going up the strip.

Can't wait :banana:

Have fun, John

I'm back at the bench and i have the blue for the figures, so i'll get back to it and get some work done lol.

Havw fun, John

 

[Centurion3RTR]

The figures are now painted (at last lol), found some decals for the arms too. I've just glued them to the seats and going to fit the rollcage tomorrow and when thats in i'll extend the harness to fit the cage.

Have fun, John

John, what a marvellous job you are doing on this model. Top drawer stuff.

I'm glad to see you survived the Pod.....Any Boddies left ? (Fat chance eh!)

Keep having fun,

Ron

 

[Centurion3RTR]

Car is now finished

Thanks Ron mate, only just survived the Pod but had a great time. Yes mate, i have four cans of Boddies left (don't know how though lol). Got there on friday at 09:30 and by 10:00 i had two, by the time i went to bed i'd polished off twelve cans so i slept well. Didn't hear a thing until about 08:30 on saturdays then it was time for a full english breakfast, nice.................

A lot of drag racing, even more drifting and lots of girls with not much on. Here are a few photos but no ladys, this is a family forum after all.

Now then, the scooby. I've done the harness and fitted to the rollcage, made them out of folded tamiya masking tape. The car is now finished so it's time for a little ground work.

That John is sheer class and no question. I could pile on the superlatives but I will let the pictures do the talking....

Something tells me you are really enjoying this build, and it shows.

Big 5 from me even without the ground work. Magic stuff!!

Ron

 

[Centurion3RTR]

I did enjoy this build Ron mate, nice to do something different every so often. Thanks for the five mate too, much appreciated.

Have fun, John

Very impressive build, great finish. Now, when you've got used to its looks, you could throw loads of mud all over it, and there they are, just finishing a stage. (Go on, I dare you) !
