Sorry I didn't post last week. Culmination of excuses led to no work done at all. Shameful, but I suppose this is a hobby. Modelling is neither my job nor my life. Sometimes, I need to realize that.
Anyways, I've started streaming! I figured, should I be able to drum up enough interest, I might turn a buck or two doing what I do anyways. So I started a Twitch. New laptop for it and everything. I'll link it below.
With the energy I've found from having a reason, I pulled out another kit to build till prime. An oddity I found at a flea market, a Union 1/24 Renault 8 Gordini. I thought $6 was a good deal, as I've seen it listed for $50 or more on eBay.
Not a good deal, terrible kit. Just completely atrocious.
The seats, pedals, and exhaust manifold are all soft vinyl. Superglue seems to stick, but I can't trim or cut it cleanly for the life of me. Quality is dodgy, too. Mold lines everywhere. The tires are especially bad. Engraving and surface detail is pathetic. Some weird, at least to my experience, engineering decisions, too. Like those fenderwells being separate. I don't know why. Errors in the directions don't help.
I can't say anything either way about the body tooling. Lots of mold lines here, too. Shape may or may not be ok. Admittedly, I've never seen a Renault 8 in person. Honestly, I think I've only seen three Renaults of any nature, two Dauphines and a 4CV. All rotted severely. Didn't buy the one Dauphine that was for sale. Thankfully.
So, yeah, the stream. I tend to stream at 7pm CST Monday to Thursday as of now. See here for the channel - https://www.twitch.tv/alfazagato/ - the schedule should adjust for your time zone. I hope you'll join me. If not, next week?
