  • @bobastu
    @bobastu Před 5 lety

    Oh my goodness! If you photographed this model with forced perspective, it would look real! I have always loved those wheels. I saw them on the tree, and was like, "why those" then I realized what they were...center cap and trim ring with the four cutouts in the rim itself, perfection through simplicity. Great, great, great job!

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  Před 5 lety

      Thanks Stuart. Dull coating and black washing make the wheels standout more than on the parts tree as you see.

  • @1955mouse
    @1955mouse Před 5 lety +1

  • @davidd.jastrzenskijastrzen1177

    I got my Chevelle as soon as I heard that it was available from the Model King. I bought the 69 Boss 302 from him too. Your build is gorgeous! I really like 'the color choice. I'm gonna go with butternut yellow with AMT 70 Impala turbine stylewheel covers and AMT Firestone wide ovals with the narrow whitestripe on the outer edge of the tire. I'll do the interior in black. I hope that Revell does a 65 GTO with the same caliber of detail as this groovy Chevelle soon. That car is an icon.

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  Před 5 lety

      @davidd.jastrzenskijastrzen1177 Před 5 lety

      I saw the new 69 Boss 302 in Acapulco blue on your website today. I was thinking of doing my Mustang with that color because the local Ford agency had one in that color on the showroom floor in the spring of 1969. The interior was black with the standard trim with extra cost high-back bucket seats and an am radio. Outside it had no window louvers or rear wing spoiler. All business, little gingerbread. I wonder if it still exists.

    I just discovered your page. I use to build models when I was little and in my teens. I love watching you build them! It makes me want to get back into it. I love how you paint them and do all the details! The only details I would do is put battery cables and plug wires on them using colored thread. Awesome job!! Keep them coming! Where do you get all your models and supplies from, it you don't mind me asking? Thanks!

      Bondene, it's only yellow/orange because some paint got on the application brush on another build.

  • @MrBillyVega
    @MrBillyVega Před 5 lety

    Did you have any trouble with the decals ( deckles ) sliding off the backing ? I soaked mine extra time and it was very difficult to slide them off the backing . Once on the model they were as difficult to get them to move and position on the model . My first attempt was a failure , maybe I had a defective decal set . Billy M.

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  Před 5 lety

      Revell decals have taken me longer to get to release, sometimes over a minute or more after being soaked. But I just soak a bunch and by the time I get to them they are ready to go.
      I use Tamiya Mark Fit on the car first so they slide free for a long time until I dab off the extra fluid to settle them down.

    • @MrBillyVega
      @MrBillyVega Před 5 lety

    What kind of glue do you use. I see it leaves a yellow color left from it

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  Před 5 lety

      Plastruct Bondene. It has no color, it's orange because some paint got onto the bottle brush when gluing a kit that was painted orange. It's harmless.

    I do not like the '68-'69 Chevelle. But that color made me like it! And I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a lot of light blue Chevelles after people watch your build! You're the second person I watch reviewing this kit, tho, the first one to build it. The other person said that if there's those parts above the taillights separated, it might mean that Revell has plans to make a '69 out of the tooling as well. But anyway, this color scheme, with how you colored the interior really make this kit shine!

    • @johnrubright2495

    • @chassegallerie2910
      @chassegallerie2910 Před 5 lety

      @@johnrubright2495 Yeah, it's their '68 turned '69 tooling that was made in '68. So it's old. Won't stand a chance if Revell go ahead and release a mod of this new '68 mold into a '69. I did told Round 2 that some of their molds were old and that they should think of making new tooling of their old kits to gradually replace those old kits. I mean, R2 own Lindberg and one of Lindberg kits, is a 1937-38 Auburn boattail roadster, which tooling date from '52! But I told them that they have shown lately that they can do extraordinary kits (like the ones they get out for Star-Trek modelists) and that they should think about it. They told me that since the products sell, they'll keep doing it that way and then proceeded to block me from their Facebook page. Round 2 has a huge problem, and that problem, is that they don't have a vision. They stick to the tricks they know and that's mostly it. But if Revell decide to make new tooling of some of their most popular kits that they just refurbish, they'll end up in troubles. I mean, they did lose the Fast and Furious licence to Revell, and pretty sure what sway them to Revell, was the fact that Revell has been willing to do a whole new tooling for the '70 Charger among other things.

    Another beautifully done car kit! The only thing I would have done different would be to use the black body stripes. On average, about how long does it actually take you to build one?

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  Před 5 lety

      Thanks! I spent about 3-4 days per kit on average in a few hour spurts each day.

    Do you always use rattle cans for your paint work? I see a lot of guys using airbrush systems

    • @hpiguy

      Not always, but they work well and are fast/easy to use.

      hpiguys Workshop Thx for the tip. That’s all I use right now. I haven’t made that jump to a airbrush system yet

    Beautiful job, however wish you'd have done black below the chrome trim on the body.
    That would be correct and make the car look a little more sporty muscle car like.

    • @hpiguy
      @hpiguy  Před 5 lety

      Not all of them came with the black around the bottom. A majority of them did though. Just like not all had the decal stripe over the hood, though a huge number did.
      Googling the cars shows some nice examples. Thanks!
