I bet you guys didn't know I had this Glue bomb hanging around.  About 5 years ago I bought an AMT Combo kit. As a new open wheel Model builder I totally screw up this poor car  It was going to be my 3rd ever Open Wheel car (Russ dont cry) Yes a Watson Roadster! After I made a mess of this Roadster I had kind of had a "thing" about this kit. But since my recent success in building models and how I currently need a small Break from the Wildcat. I thought I would try to save this poor roadster. Its going to be a basic curbside. Im basically using this Glue Bomb as Practice. This is going to be a very quick build. But Im only going to work on it whenever I have time between the Wildcat or when I get POed at the Wildcat.   |

Quickly gluing stuff together, but with some strong glue. Remember nothing is going to be seen on this car. I'll do some detail when I get a brand new model later and do it at a nice slow proper professional way. I mean, if you saw this model (my glue bomb kit) you would know why Im not going to put to much into it..... Parts are broken, body is basically bent up, The frame is not done right. Just a crap job I did back then.  |

It's great to see something different from you. Go for it!

Way to rescue a model, the nose looks much better already.

The other day I had roadsters on the mind so I put a coat of primer (Mr Hobby Primer that I found at the LHS) on my glue bomb  I know its kind of a backwards way to go about it but I didn't really have to many other choices beside breaking more parts dissembling it. Nothing a paint brush cant fix later on. Also if your wondering I'm going to lay several coats of flat white before laying down the pearl white. Im not using my Tamiya white primer on a major glue bomb. |

BTW these are horrible pics I just posted. It doesn't even give the paint job justice at all.
Its Tamiya Pearl White & Brilliant blue with a top coat of clear blue which give it a neat candy look.
