With the old End of Days Campaign coming up and me not really having built something in a while I thought i'd ease myself in with Revells Dodge Viper GTS. Bought at a reduced price from ModelZone this puppy should be started tommorrow with some pics coming as well
Cheers

P.S Hermon let me concentrate on getting it right before suggesting zombie additions

...it's a Mopar...your heading in the right direction already!!!!!!!

The only direction for this is straight to Demolition Derby (sorry Loobes)

...that didn't take long now did it?.....
Lewis, let's see this badboy!

Chrome is wating to be removed and I have started the engine and preped the body coloured pieces






More Later

Interior Almost finished and all the chrome stripped so work on the engine can begin - when the engine is fully built(with out paint) I will post pics
Cheers
Loobes

Picture time - Interior finished, body primed and engine in progress as ab decided to block

That engine is looking great Lewis! Have you decided on an exterior color yet or did I miss that somewhere?

Hermon

Yes i have got a colour - i have layed it down in wet coats at the mo - it is artisan metallic blue - very, very nice

Well, I am just waiting on some micromesh cloths to arrive and then I can crack on and finish this thing - also got to spray the alclad for the third time due to airbrush cloggs, any tips?

I've had cloggs from every type of paint except Alclad. You are using it straight aren't you....no thinning?

Hermon

Using it straight - found an Iwata Eclipse - 30mm but i tried my triplex - 35mm and works like a charm. Now pictures tommorrow - i promise... Unless my EOD stuff has arrived stripes down - decided to have a go at doing them myself it basically done, just need to combine all the parts and find a red that works

Lewis

That's a new one on me...the Aclad II clogging an AB. Hey, at what pressure are you spraying? I've shot mine down to 15psi and it laid on straight...they recommend up to 30psi but I don't plan on painting the basement walls in one swipe.
Now, have you worked with the Alclkad II before...give it time to gas out and fully dry...then polish and clear coat. I've shot up to 4 coats{rather wet ones at that} so that buffing won't turn it dark{too thin layers}.

Yes i have shot it before - several P-4's and it's down at about 17 psi, my problem was with the finish, didn't need a clearcoat, but with it's affect on the smaller nozzle

Done, pics up tommorrow, alclad finished - the paintjob and the bottle

Ooops, sorry!

Can't Seem to get the light right on these pictures, oh well. I might take some more later







I have now glued the bonnet into place as it kept blowing off
You can't quite see the high gloss shine but it is there

No-one likes?

That is one very nice looking viper

yes, me likes! Quick build too. 1 week and a half, dang! The shape of the body gives me Ma. K. ideas

Great Viper...I built this kit a while ago, goes together very well. You did a great job! Thanks for sharing.

Little update, this puppy will be coming to a show with me in April, alongside the Lotus

Excellent. Best of luck Lewis

I haven't been over here on the car side for a while, so I missed this build. I really love this car. I actually looked at one, but I couldn't drive it unless I layed my head down on one of my shoulders. Not exactly the prefered driving position. But enough about me. Your build looks great. You did a great job, and did it fast. My sincere congrats on a job well done.
