Gday This is my second car build in 30 years.
The first car model I baked in the oven for too long so I cant show it Crying or Very sad The candy apple paint job was good but the body was a molten flop Laughing 

Im not happy with the paint on the 32 with the dust and water streaks but It ain't glued together yet so I might have another go with a diy spray booth.
It's a revell 1/25 kit with a few mods.
Minny tubs and what not.

My next build I will need help regarding resin parts and detailing which i am unfamiliar with. I think I have came to the right place to suck brains  bigthumbsup 

I cant post images..
Names Dave. Cheers.

Or use the uploader in the post message box, much easier than photobucket i reckon.  (first image in the 4th box) host an image.
Then it is basic cut/paste.

OH, and welcome too mate, pick away at as many brains as you like, before they ALL  go to mush. Smile

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and the comments on my build, I did say that I haven't built a car for years but forgot to mention aeronautics and a tank I built for my young bloke as well as a few rc planes. Yeah the torry was good fun Adam...

I will start a new build thread soon, a Pro Stock x 55 chevy ute Idea

Saying Gday.  Empty Torry and Adam wheel info

Post by Ybsluos1 Tue 07 Apr 2020, 5:52 pm

Hey guys, I just reactivated my account after 9 years! I have been looking at all the cool posts I have missed and saw the one on your purple coupe Torry. If anyone is still interested I think the wheels are Fujimi OZ 17". They came in a few of the Fujimi Koenig kits. You can sometimes find a Fujimi wheel/tire kit with them but they made several styles of OZ wheels (such as Porsche and Lamborghini style) so it is best to check a picture. Anyhow hope this helps even though I am half a decade late to the party! Awesome coupe by the way Torry!
