Mr. Angry Model Build (Set back.....3/25/09)

[69bronzeT5]

I'm going be building a model replica of Mr. Angry. It won't be exact but I'm going to make it as close as I can. I'm in the garage right now (laptop is on the fender of my '69) and I just shot the first coat of primer on the body parts of the model. I'll post pics later and as I progress.

And you are in the garage working on a model and not your real car...   just curious.

[NYCMille]

Yes, I was in the garage working on a model. I've been doing a few minor things to my real car in the last week or so but nothing really big.

I can't wait to see the two models Cody's building for me either!

Well, he is kind of working "on" his car, but not working on his car..

Hey Cody, can't wait to see the photo's. I know how you feel.. I'm working on 5 models but only working on 2 at a time though. Mostly 3 are 69 charger models with detail LOL. Two truck models.

I'm working on Mr. Angry, a '70 Challenger T/A, a field and shed diorama and a Barrelcuda diorama.

I plan on fully detailing Mr. Angry.


Here's today's progress....

Where do you guys get these really detailed models?

The only ones I can find are cheapo's from a craft store in town.

Just chiming in so I don't miss any progress pics.

That should make a very cool end result. 



Are you gonna use truly flat black paint on the model? 

I know the 1:1 scale car is done that way, but a 1:25th scale might look a lot more accurate to the real thing with a more satin or even semigloss black finish.  (Same reason it's such a challenge to make a glossy finish look correct at that scale.  Whether it's glossy paint or flat, either way the "bumps" in the finish have to be 25 times smaller than on the 1:1 scale car.)

Cool Cody.    Keep us updated.

[Brock Samson]

you can spray a dullcoat finish over a semi gloss, but i'd practice a bit first...

That is a 68, Cody and I have been talking about it some, he is building Mr Angry and not the Daytona, I am building Mr Angry X2 (One for both Mike and I) and it is a PROCESS. Especially when you are working 52 hours a week!

[MoparManJim]

I been wanting to build a Mr. Angry model myself.. thanks Cody for the modvention on that now LOL.

I use Revell models as they are detailed but NOT detailed enough for me    http://www.cglfc.com/wforum/viewtopic.php?t=20076&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 as I always half to add more of my own detail to them. 

So I know what Cody means about detailing. If you use a Amt kit your in for a hurting for detail as those kits hardly has any. I'll be watching this thread from time to time to see how the that Cody is working on turns out. 

Also watch out for Revell 69 model kits as I been hearing that afew have been getting 69's and receiving '68 grills in the kits and not the '69 grill. I was told if you call up Revell and let them know they will send you the correct grill.

Wow man,
That is really starting to look good. To build a model is an art.
I am not vey good at it and man, you have a talent.
Can you make me a 73' Charger Rally one?

Can you make me a 73' Charger Rally one?

I could but I don't know where to get one to build...

Find a local Hobby shop, they should have the new 68 charger, if not the 69. Ebay tends to have a large selection and there are some great online hobby shops like www.towerhobbies.com

Revell makes great detailed models but its the other things that give models a winning touch (you'll see what I'm talking about )
