i see i'm not the only one getting back into modeling after a long hiatus. but mine was only 25 years, some of you have been away awhile! i'm looking around youtube for inspiration, and to re-learn some of the old skills i learned from modeling magazines and car shows as a kid. thanks for the tutorial! can't wait to get back to the smell of cement!
I'm obviously late to the party but that's one awesome tutorial. I've wondered about making door jambs for a long time, now I'm better prepared to have a go at it. I just created a playlist for modeling tips and this video is on that playlist
Wow! Thank you for a brilliant tutorial...The magnet idea is awesome. I'm an old guy now,I quit building model cars when I was a teenager (1974 or so). I've recently taken it back up. I'm realizing that I still possess most of the skill I had when I was a kid and am getting better fast! The only bummer is the lack of sight that I once had...I hope to create model cars with the level of detail that you put into yours. Thanks again.
Nice video. I can't not mention the Charger you're doing this to is the one from the Dukes of Hazzard where they climb into the car through the window because the doors are welded shut 🤣🤣
Very nice tutorial. I'm just getting back into model building after a 45 yr vacation. I needed info on doing the doors and you just made it a whole lot easier. Keep up the good work, I'll be back Thanks
I have never ventured into this aspect of building before. Thanks for all the how to's and advice maybe i will try this. I just finished building the RM 68 Charger.
That is a great technique. I have never cut my doors yet on any of my cars, but this is certainly a great idea. I am going to try this on my next build and post the results. So far all my builds are just pretty box stock.
Cool vid. I use a contour gauge to get my curves right. Eliminates a lot of trial and error. Or you can use a bit of solder, it will hold its shape, then you can transfer the curve to the sheet styrene.
Oct. 25, 2019----Thanks for the how to video, but not what I'm looking for. Getting back into modeling, but going for 1/35th scale zombie/apocalypse dioramas. Since there aren't many plastic kits in this scale, been buying 1/32nd & 1/36th scale diecast vehicles and believe me, they need work to make them more realistic. As to realistic hinges, want to get into 3D printing & creating different things like phone booths, etc. I've seen more than one video where something's been printed, with the parts actually moving, without having to assemble anything. So once I learn how to draft/make parts on my pc, then print 3D actual (more or less) scale hinges just like on the real vehicles. Unfortunately, it seems few car modelers have videos about 3D printing on RUclips.
That was AWESOME!!!! I'm so glad I found this video tutorial! I also wanted to take the time to give you a HUGE thank you for sharing all this amazing information!!! ( enthusiastically subscribed!!! )
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you so much! I've been trying to figure this out for quite some time. Your tutorial was very well explained and extremely helpful. Thanks for sharing with us! I've subbed!!
Hi Darren .Thanks for your tutorial. I was wondering if you only used 1 magnet and a small piece of tin ,would that be sufficient to close the door with less pullingof the door ?
What do you use to cut doors open with? Ive seen drimal! Thread! Fishing line! An hobby knife? Also wonder if you can glue door panel! Let it set up an fill door with foam! The expanding kind
most hobby stores that deal heavily in all manner of styrene kits and building supplies probably have these rare earth magnets, in assorted sizes. My local haunt is 'SECTION 8 HOBBIES' here at 2243 Seneca st. , Buffalo N.Y. 14210 ...... www. section8hobbies.com ..... ck them out
Awesome work your video is great info for the modeling community. I wish that I had found this video before I did my model escort mk1 it would have made it easier to do, but it still turned out alright , go to my channel and check out my Belkits Ford Escort MK1 model that I hinged the doors and trunk on.

I never, in a million years, would have thought to put small magnets in the doors to keep them closed!
Really amazing work. Don't know what else to say.😎👍
Great model class, thank you!
Perfect timing, I needed to see how to do the door jams for my current build!!
Thanks for the Tutorial!!
I hope it is helpful. Thanks
Darren Cooper Yes and Thankyou

me too
Great tutorial Darren, always good to see your hints and tips. Cheers mate.
Some toothpick spacers will help with the door creep while setting the doors with the magnets. Its keeps the jams even while the glue sets.
You. Are. Amazing ! Thank you for your insight !
I just stumbled upon this video thanks for the info
Thanks for sharing your tips. Great job and keep up the Great work. 👍
GREAT tutorial!! Thanks much!

I need to find a small contour gage somewhere. It would save alot of time. Never thought of the solder. I will give that a try tonight. Thanks
solder is a great tip.. thanks xr
Great video Darren. Thank you for sharing this

Hi Darren .Thanks for your tutorial. I was wondering if you only used 1 magnet and a small piece of tin ,would that be sufficient to close the door with less pullingof the door ?
Really great tutorial! You left out the part where you need to pray for patience for one month prior to starting. lol
Yes I did. Thanks Duane! Hope things are going well for you. KUTGW
What do you use to cut doors open with? Ive seen drimal! Thread! Fishing line! An hobby knife? Also wonder if you can glue door panel! Let it set up an fill door with foam! The expanding kind
I use the back edge of a number 11 exacto hobby knife blade. Takes a while but seems to give me more control over what and how I want things cut.
Thanks for sharing bud great help
Im going to try this on the rear doors of. 55 panel truck
For the magnets doctor cranky was talking about Google rare earth magnets
