4-25-2019 ASA Buick Regal
« on: April 09, 2019, 10:44:43 PM »
This ASA Buick Regal WIP is mocked up now. The rims and tires will be different but these give me something to work with during the build process. I've still got a little smoothing here and there, I need to raise the rear of the car a hair and also trim back the exhaust pipes just a smidgeon but it will be ready for paint soon.

That is not your daddy's Buick.  Beautiful, smooth work; but then I would not expect anything less from your bench.  More pictures, more details, show us what you have done.
When I win the Powerball I will switch to the real ones.

Evil, wicked, mean, and nasty.  In other words, super cool.

Great job on the fab work David. The front fenders and hood are really cool. That little piece of pie that you took out of the roof sure makes that puppy look mean!

Fantastic fab work David. You really have an eye for what and where to cut, add and fill to create a beautiful build.
It's amazing how you seem to get the stance and proportions correct on every build. I struggle with that. Sometimes I don't see the problems till after there finished, then it's too late.

OK here is a list of what you need to do next.
Carefully place the model in a secure box.
Finish packing it and seal the box.
Take it to the Post Office.
Address it to me.
Send the package to me "Overnight Express" please.

When I get it I will advise and say "Thank You Very Very Much"

That model is going to be a real show stopper when you have it finished..

This is a great looking build!  The mods you've made make that body look bad-ass!! When you relocate the wheel wells, what material do you use to cover the existing opening? .020 or .030 sheet styrene?  Something else?
