That'd be perfect if I can get in on that one. You do realize you need to build a fresh kit for MOTM, no previously posted builds.... but this can be used in the Bracket racing though. |

Thanks a million Mike. I've narrowed the gap a little more this morning with painting the "Little Tree" air freshener and decaling the "Demon 1" logo placard on the body between the rear bumper and the rear door.

Almost forgot. Here's a shot or two of what's inside the body:
a filler to hide some daylight that can be seen through the wheel opening in the body. It came from a 1/43rd scale Great Garages set and is supposed to be a parts trunk but it doubles as a 1/25th scale tool box. Some priming, painting, detail painting and a couple of decals later and ............PRESTO! You've got yourself the perfect detail filler to hide the unwanted light.
Then there's the banner right above the couch.

Big D. : Thanks buddy
Dale: 'Preciate it bud.
Couldn't resist putting one of these around a rearview mirror that I took from AMT's 67 Chevelle kit. Keep in mind that this is a Macro shot and that the blob of lines that I've got down at the base of the Tree looks more like wording in actual size.

When I was a kid I was drawn to the Revell Street Demons line-up and ended up buying them all. I only built three of them back then and this was one of them. It's funny how when the hobby follows us into adulthood we see how much we either overlooked or just how bad the kits were back then. But hey, we were having fun back then right? lol . I took this project on in January of this year and although this kit does suck, I've had a great amount of fun with it and learning opportunities left and right over the course of the last 8-1/2 months. Although I was drawn to this car as a kid (and still am), as an adult I didn't care for the gasser stance for a "street" car and wanted something a little more jazzed up and to have some fun with it. Sooooooo, I created a dropped down party mobile. I mean .............with all that room in the back the possibilities were endless. I started out with my eyes being a lot bigger than 1.) my ability and 2.) what there was room for back there. Over the course of the build while my vision/ goal was always the same, I had to modify the ideas somewhat and my abilities got a tune up but I'm very happy with the end result.
I won't go over every detail of the build but I will say that there were 7 different kits and a lot of aftermarket involved in its making. What really blew me away was the fact that there weren't any headlight bezels/ buckets (and there still aren't to this day with the latest release of this kit!!! ) and the hood hinge cut outs at the back of the engine compartment just make you want to slap the original kit engineers.
I'd like to thank all of those who followed along and commented/ encouraged me throughout this creation. You guys are da bomb.

and then there's what's inside:

That is just SUPERB!!! The amount of detailing you have put into it is amazing, Engine detailing is outstanding,
interior is awesome, paint is great, and the stance is a vast improvement on what i remember of this kit when i was a lad too..

Talk about adding detail, that's just showing off, how are us mere mortals supposed to follow that.
