Already ordered 😁😂 I bought it with the intention of touching up where chrome gets cut off the sprue but hadn’t thought to use it on door handles. Just waiting for it to be delivered.
I have the exact model but haven't started yetfor some reason I decided to open and start on not one not two and not three kits at once but over twenty model kits and highly recommend not to do that!
Thankfully I almost never apply mirrors 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 but yes it would be hard to do without the glue messing with the paint 🤔 I’ll have to see what people do there 🤔 I’d probably glue it on first then paint and hope the primer stickers to the chrome.
Nice build...A tip i use is spray the chrome rims with a matte clear Rustoleum for the Aluminum look once cured i panel line...look forward to seeing more Videos.
I've started on this model and the rims for this car are probably the worst appearance rims I've ever seen and i can't put them on that would irritate me just to look at it.
Just found your channel and subbed. Awesome build, great finish on the body and nice details. Looking forward to checking out more. Have a great day. -David
@@Damian-cd4xd hey mate Not quite I sprayed it outside and then quickly moved it into a cheap dust free container/shelter thing I was using at the time. I’d get it in there as quickly as I could to avoid dust time then take it out later to inspect after it dried I have a booth now though. Thanks :)
In regards to your Tamiya black liner, also known as applying the wash, what you're doing is creating a shadow to compensate for the scale effect. Without it, chrome wheel will look very toy like. So these are techniques that help to make a model more realistic, along with drybrushing. Very nice build by the way. 👍 keep up the good work. Thank you for video.
You did a really good job..personally I hate AMT kits.ive found that they have always had alot of flash, warps and the pieces don't fit well. I also just built 2 MPC kits..not good kits.im more a REVELLE type guy.. But kudos on this model! Great job!
I am building two of them 67 Chevelle's as the one that was Smokey Yunick's and I of difficult trying to figure out how to figure out 1/10scale I exchanged the frame on one of the Chevelle with one from the MPC Pontiac GTO super stocker and the other one with the frame from the Revell 66Chevell Station Wagon and I am using one of the frames and tub from the AMT 67 Chevelle Pro Street to building the race car on the mpc Pontiac GTO super stocker chassis I have a lot of body work to do on GTO with the frame and tub everything fits perfectly I am going to try and make it like the Crow from Street Outlaws the other Chevelle Pro Street frame tub is going under AMTs 1955 Chevy Step Side Pickup I have a lot of work ahead but it should be a lot of fun !
I had a full size that I built when I was in Junior High School with My Father and I drove it when I got to High School it had a big block 454 and Muncie 4 Speed I had so much fun with that car Street and Strip Racing I wish I still had it I sold it after I got Married my Wife couldn't get the hang of driving a Big Block 4 Speed car when I look back I should have kept my Car and got rid of Her I was Married just over 1 year when I sold my car and it took 6 years for her to start Cheating on me with someone that I thought was my Friend , Man I miss my Car
@@ChickpeaHobbies go and get a 1967 Chevelle body I hate to say this but their are a lot of them in salvage yards across the country and some can be bought pretty cheap their even quite a few in pull your own parts yards look and I know that you could find one somewhere , then you pick up a Chevy Big Block 454 out of a 80s or 90s Chevy pickup trucks , and then get a 4 Speed transmission out of a , and I know that this will sound strange but most Chevy Vegas that were 4 Speed the transmission was a Muncie Rock Crusher , so their you have over half done , then you buy tube front suspension upper and lower control arms and a Vega steering box , front suspension is very reasonably priced Summit has it all , they will also have the motor mount kit , they also have all the interior components , aluminum kits , And you can get a back half kit for the Frame , a roll cage , 4 Link rear suspension kits , shortened Ford 9 inches rear end , I would get a pair of race seats , you could probably find a lot of the things that you would need at Racing Junk. Com , they often have very good used stuff , If you can find a body for a reasonable price then you are there , and If you do get one bought , it is all down hill from there and depending on the amount of body work you would have to do and the amount of time you have to devote to it I would bet you could be burning gas inside of 1 year , when you get your Hot Rod ready to paint if you want I would love to come down and help you paint it and If you find a color you would like I know that I could mix it up for you and the whole car could be painted for less than $100.00 I would bet that you could build it completely for around $5000.00 depending on the original cost of the body , so I really hope that you can fulfill your dream and get started on the hunt , until then LOVE YOU GOD BLESS Let me know what you think about the idea .
Very cool,very nice,first time here, I use rattle cans myself I'm gonna be learning how to airbrush but it's too cold where I am right now. This is very nice thank you for your Channel.
Nothing wrong with rattle cans, you can certainly get a great finish. For me the temptation to go into airbrushing was more for the military modelling I do but I’ve seen some great airbrushed cars too.
God bless you too! Thanks for watching Howard, it means a lot. I’m going to show more and more of the build and painting processes in upcoming videos. 😎
@@ChickpeaHobbies looking forward to it. My building is on hold for the summer. I do commercial HVAC and at 59, I have nothing left in the tank at the end of each day. I love car model building.However, I want to do a diorama of a Russian Tank getting blown to bits by a couple of Ukraine soldiers with Javelin shoulder launched missiles. This will be my dedication to the brave people of Ukraine 🇺🇦
Nice work! Grab some of the sanding sponges or the fiber cloth sanding kit from Micromark and wet sand that body. Start at 3200 go all the way up to 12000, doesn't take crazy long and afterwards the paint will look milky white-ish, clean it good dry it thoroughly and hit with a good clear (NOT floor polish actual clear) and the shine will return with a mirror glass look. Be wary of going thru to the primer, let the sponges or fiber do the work, very light action. This method works best with enamels and lacquers but will work with acrylics just gotta make sure you have enough coats to not sand thru.
Thank you my friend! Great advice, it’s something I’ve dabbled in but not really dived into. I’ve sanded to remove e.g a mark in the paint but never gone the whole route of removing orange peel from a whole model. It’s something I’ll have a go at in an upcoming video. I do use the Tamiya compounds but if there’s decent orange peel you just end up with.. shiny orange peel 😂 so yes the sanding has its place too. I’ll see if I can get that into an upcoming video. Thanks for watching and your detailed comment ☺️
Hey mate! I have been delayed uploading as I just started a new job I am thinking maybe the 1/16 thunderbird or maybe the AMT 3100 pickup….. or maybe a jimny? Too many ideas 😂
Very nice work. The Tamiya lacquer paints are the best modeling paints I have used. Other than Testor’s lacquer, I am working towards not using any other spray can paint. They dry quick, go on smooth, and have a nice shine. Thanks for sharing.
You’ve hit the nail on the head, Michael. How long do you wait before clearing them? Currently I wait weeks for the TS paint to gas out. I’ve never tried the Testors line but I am keen to as they have got a couple of interesting colours over there too.
Rust-Oleum or krylon works very well they have a lot of beautiful colors it sprays great lays down good and you will be able to paint many more things per can than you can with Tamiya or Testers and One can costs a less than one can of the other paints and you can also use files sanding sponges from a nail supply store they also have some very cool decals which I use on a lot of my builds they also have foils which work very well and they also have all kinds of tools that are useful for working on models the name of the nail supply store where I live is called Sally's the prices are a lot cheaper than at a hobby store and they have more useful things to choose from the prices are much better than the hobby store and if you ever start painting with an air brush you can use nail polish too their are almost an infinite number of colors to choose from they are easy to spray once you get the hang of the air brush it's a whole new world for you to explore .
@@bryanfranks1378are you referring to the standard Rustoleum you’d buy at a hardware store? We get spray cans here in Australia for about $20 which would be far better value if the spray paint works. I thought we had to use the little Tanya spray cans.
I have the same one on my bench right now. I’m a long time model builder and I just built my first CAR model.(a few months ago)I’m hooked. This is a an amazing hobby! JC : ) PS. Check your scale in the description. (1:25)

That black paint looks awesome, I stay away from black ( but your's looks great)
Thank you! It sure is a hard colour to get right. You will see many a failure posted on this channel as I post when I get them wrong too 😂😂😂😂
Yes, it’s a tough colour to get right, isn’t it?
When attaching parts with paint/chrome, you may wish to consider Dollar Store "super glue".
Thanks for the tip, do you mean it works without stripping the coating off? I.e. the paint or chrome to get a good connection?
@@ChickpeaHobbies Yes, no stripping/scraping required; Here is an excellent channel for tips/hints/ideas: th-cam.com/users/hpiguy
Get a Molotow Liquid Chrome Pen, and detail the door handles.
Already ordered 😁😂 I bought it with the intention of touching up where chrome gets cut off the sprue but hadn’t thought to use it on door handles. Just waiting for it to be delivered.
I don’t like those gay seats but that’s my opinion but looks good
Thanks for the feedback ! It would be fun to swap seats into a kit, I’ve seen it done and want to try do custom ones with belts
I have the exact model but haven't started yetfor some reason I decided to open and start on not one not two and not three kits at once but over twenty model kits and highly recommend not to do that!
I have the same problem mate I start too many models at once 😂
That's how a Chevelle should look.. The looks alone say everything about the car... Mean☠️ and Nasty😡..... Nice build Brother.👍
Thanks my friend you’ve made my day!!!!
I'm building this kit at the moment, I'm not looking forward to glueing the body chrome on especially the mirrors 😮
Thankfully I almost never apply mirrors 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 but yes it would be hard to do without the glue messing with the paint 🤔 I’ll have to see what people do there 🤔 I’d probably glue it on first then paint and hope the primer stickers to the chrome.
Valve covers go 3 bolts up & 4 down...instructions are wrong on the 1st assembly pic then show them the right way in the next pic..i did it as well.😤
Oh no i just try to follow the pics 😭
Too late to fix it 🤣
@@ChickpeaHobbies you’ll have to buy another kit and make it again, getting the bolts right 😅
Woow bro . super car super video subscribe subscribe ...
Thank you !!!!!
Nice build...A tip i use is spray the chrome rims with a matte clear Rustoleum for the Aluminum look once cured i panel line...look forward to seeing more Videos.
Thanks for the tip Jeff, appreciate it :)
I’ve heard some people use Rustoleum but if you get the wrong kind it damages the model. Is there a specific label you use?
@@wendyst.germain4482 Rustoleum clear matte finish sprayed on chrome rims turns them aluminium looking.
@@GrandNational66oh thank you. I’m sorry I didn’t reply sooner. I missed your reply. I must look for it at the hardware store.
I've started on this model and the rims for this car are probably the worst appearance rims I've ever seen and i can't put them on that would irritate me just to look at it.
I apply wash to all mine with the Tamiya panel line accent to try make them look less toyish 😂
