Hi all, I have put together this candid, kinda rough, step-by-step video of myself assembling this classic large scale 57 Chevy model kit made by Monogram. There will be several videos that will eventually cover the entire build.
This kit provides 3 build options which include stock, street and strip. In this build, I have opted to go stock. Other than paint colors, I am not making any customizations to this kit. When finished, it will be considered "out-of-box- stock".
I wouldn't consider myself a skilled builder, but I sure do enjoy building.
The tools and paints I used are listed below:
-All brush and spray paints are exclusively Testors brand enamals
-Simple Exacto knife
-Some file tools... no clue where I got them
-Fine grit sandpaper, maybe 800 grit? (really whatever was laying around at the time)
-Some rougher sandpaper, maybe 200 or 300 grit
-Testors liquid cement (used on all unpainted parts)
-Loctite liquid super glue (used on all painted parts)
-Testors contour putty
-"Super Clean" to remove chrome... or any painting mistakes
Please feel free to comment below. I would love to hear about any tips, tricks or experiences of other modelers. We can always learn some new techniques.
