Interesting to see our conversion, Chris ... I'm following ...

what a work to make the complete top, doors and windows ...

It really is a challenge.  I have a lot to do yet and haven’t worked on it in a while due to illness.  I’m going to post some pics soon if my putty work.

My favorite putty is Super Fine  Milliput.  It doesn't shrink,  dries hard and can be sanded, machined etc.  There is a regular and a superfine.

Thanks but I absolutely hate Facebook.  I tried trading and selling in some of those groups too, and got hacked three times in one week.  Never again.  But I appreciate the thought!

OK, I am an Admin in one of the groups and haven't seen that yet, but there are phonies everywhere lol

Finished this one, trying to figure out how to move it to the Under Glass section.  Not perfect, but I learned a lot.

You don't move it, you just start a new thread in the finished section with your pics.

This came out great. Nice conversion work.

Thanks very much, Mr Metallic.  It’s not anywhere near the skill level I’ve seen on here, but a lot of fun and I get a little better each time.

The front looks like a Jeep and the back takes the shape of a Hummer. Gives it a squared off look. I like the redesign.

I strongly recommend any two-part catalyzing body putty (I use Bondo professional glazing and spot putty - it comes in a tube with a small tube of hardener).  You can control how fast it hardens by how much hardener you mix in, it is softer than styrene when hard (easier to file/sand to shape) and does not shrink.  Use non-catalyzed only for very small or thin work.
