Evan Williams Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 My '65 Chevy c-10 stepside. This was the second model car I ever built. I actually went back & redid a lot of the paint but as you can tell I'm sure, all of the glass is missing. Glue was smeared all over it so I thought it looked better without it. Very proud of this & I'm very happy that my builds have only gotten better as time has gone on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahogany Rush Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 A tip on gluing windows is to use Elmer's White School Glue. It dries clear, plus any extra can be wiped away after it's dried with a watered down Q-tip. Good job on the 4 piece hood though. They are tough.

Mahogany Rush Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Here is a '66 that I did a few months ago. Modded it to a 4x4 and it was tough. Plan your build as much as you can, prep the body and most of all, do not rush it. Sometimes I only get to glue one thing per day! Also I have learned to do "dry fit" as much as possible before paint and assembly. This takes away a lot of the handling of the body once painted which is exactly what you want. I am no pro, believe me. I read this forum a lot and take mental notes on all advice and tips. Best forum for modeling that I have found. Great members that share knowledge and offer constructive criticism as well as praise. Keep it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
