    I chose to watch this video because I am hinging the EXACT Chevy nova you are showing in the video. It’s being built as a pretty detailed drag car and since most cars are named, I’m calling it Trigger Finger. Mostly because I sliced MY trigger finger when my Xacto slipped cutting out the trunk and I ended up with a gash that needed 7 stitches

      Oh wow !!1 That sucks !!! I used to put painters tape over the sharp side of the blade to prevent that. But since I never touched the blade in years I stopped doing that, well it might be time to start doing that again.....
      anyway thanks for stopping by...

    I been told to get a hobby and was thinking building a model car. Not many shop sell them here in Australia and look like around $60 AUD for a half decent one. Then U buy few tools glues and paints. I could find model car which caught my eye. As a kid back in late 70s there would so many models to choose from. Me and brother use to just go to shop and look at them, to poor to buy them. We spend the whole day just looking and talking about them. Great tip about the hinges. Cheers Graham

      Hi Graham... well it is a great hobby.... and you don't need a ton of tools or an expensive kit... if you go on eBay you will find most definitely a kit under $ 30 ... some have even starting tools and paints included.....for me it is just so relaxing and satisfying to build a model car.
      Maybe you just give it a try with a cheap kit and figure out if the " MODEL BUILDING BUG " will bite you. If so, you can always step by step buying some tools or a more expansive kit.
      I buy usually no kits more expansive then $ 30-40 and I have a couple weeks fun with it.
      Anyways have a fantastic day .....
      Cheers Gary

    Awesome break down on opening doors. My least favorite part is building the door jambs and the door with the inside part on it. I find this work to be quite tedious and never really turns out how I want! 😂😂 Like Evrrything, it really just does take practice and I am surely better now than when I started.
    This is a great resource and I am glad you made it. Super well done.

  • @chas032663
    @chas032663 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Having watched quite a few door/truck hinge videos, yours has been the best! One little thing that I would find helpful is detailed pairs of materials suggested for various scales. TH-cam is very prejudiced toward 1/24 scale. I happen to be building 1/32. I currently on the 2nd of three builds for the same kit. I am fixing errors from the previous build and adding new challenges. My next build will include hinged doors, trunk, and hood. So far I have the magnets but need to get wire, tube, and styrene. Part fit on this old mold is not great so I am thinking brass for the wire. Another challenge is my firewall. The fire wall attaches between the door and door panel. The kit is an Atlantis ‘56 Cadillac convertible and has a multipart body. So the firewall (that does not fit well in the first place) is the only thing that keeps the body aligned. Do you have any hints for reinforcing the body after I cut away the doors?

    • @CarDreamsinStyrene
      @CarDreamsinStyrene  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi... well I built one 1:32 scale car in my whole life and I don't know that specific kit...so I guess unfortunately I will be not a big help...maybe you have more luck by checking out some of the " Matchbox " building channels.... some of them do great detail work including door hinging... sorry ....

    If you were to build a piano hinge from scratch for a semi truck door,how would you go about it

    • @CarDreamsinStyrene
      @CarDreamsinStyrene  ปีที่แล้ว

      I am not sure if you mean what I think you mean...... but I would cut a styrene rod in 3 pieces , next stick a rod in the right size through all 3 of them. As then I would cut out two styrene rectangle from let me say 1 millimeter sheet and as last step glue one rectangle on the highest and lowest tube and the second one on the middle tube. All while the rod is still in the 3 pieces and let its dry over night.
      I think that should work.
      Let me know if it worked out for you.
      I hope that gives you an igniting inspiration to try it out, anyways have a great Sunday and keep on building those awesome models.

    Hey mate..I need to cut a hole in the hood of a car for an up coming supercharged project..Any tips on marking the correct location?

    • @CarDreamsinStyrene
      @CarDreamsinStyrene  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yep....take some cardboard from a kit box or such and transfer the hood on that cardboard. After you cut that in size you will have a copy of your orig. hood. Now put your engine with super charger in your model.
      Cut out an opening in the cardboard hood, wich should be a bit larger as you need it. Mount the Cardboard hood on the model and now take some tape and glue the tape on the cardboard hood close enough to the supercharger. If you satisfied with all the measurements and the hood still opens, transfer the hole on the original hood. Done..
      I hope I was able to explain it good enough... have fun and keep on building.
