Those Monogram kits were a little simplified but always went together well. The Bad News '60 Chev sedan delivery with double-carb Z/28 302 was awesome.
Awesome job on this kit 👍👍. I'm an avid model builder as well , and have been building models for 40+ years . As I was watching this video , I noticed that the mating surfaces to be glued together still had either paint or chrome on them . As I gained experience building models , one of the steps I always do , is scrap the paint or chrome off all mating surfaces before gluing . The model never falls apart !
Great job Chris. Always loved the Tom Daniel kits they were simple but always finished up really nice!! Thanks Tom!!! You know in this case it’s parachutes because there are two of them!!! Ba-dum-pum 🥁
Hey Chris... the floor polish you are using hasn't been marketed under the Future name in many many years. This is confusing a lot of guys trying to find that stuff. It is Pledge Renew It now, available at many stores.
Your an inspiration! I recently became disabled and thought I get into model building after watching your videos. How you show how you paint every little detail and what color paints you use. I am amazed how good you are! Thank you for teaching us newbie’s on the craft of model building!
This is a must get. I had the original Troublemaker when I was in 6th grade extremely fun to build as is all Tom Daniels kits. Seeing how yours turned out in the molded body color I'll give it a try and yes I was one of those hollering NO, NO, NO, but with the 2 coats of future that looks dazzling.
Chrome Alone - the movie. I dug that movie, about a custom car builder who never chromed ANY parts in a group, always one piece at a time - alone. This build is a fantasy come to life. From a real World point of view, it should tear it up at the track. And so realistic, you can almost hear the zoomie pipes "crinkle" as they cool down after a hard run. Thanks again, Chris. BTW don't forget to watch the movie...
Absolutely fantastic build! I really love the Tom Daniel kits! I will be getting this one. I'm waiting patiently for a reissue Badman kit! Have a great rest of the week!👍😎👍
Hey Chris, I still watch your model building and product review videos. I am so glad you are still sticking to the basics when it comes to model building. I love it! I hope to get back to model building someday in the future. I just never seem to have time during the day to build anymore. You always give me inspiration though! Keep up the great work and content my friend.
Great review mate , ive been following you for a little while ,normally i go for battleships and armour, but ive been watching some of your older videos and find myself wanting to build a 50s car , thanks for sharing , have a good one mate 😊😊😊😊
I built this as the Trouble Maker in the seventies. As typical of all Monogram Tom Daniel designs, an easy builder that was molded in colors for instant gratification for a kid that was under the age of ten. If it comes to Hobby Lobby, I might pick one up. Hobby Lobby has a few Atlantis kits in non-automotive plastic. I'm hoping they'll expand.
I've seen thousands of funny cars but never one with a El Camino body..... WICKED ✌😎 As always love the builds( especially the cool drag builds), hints, tips, tricks... my favorite modeling channel ! Please keep the video's rolling in 🙂🏁
Sometimes the color molds are just as good as a paint job I agree with you Chris ! I did a gold car one time can't remember what kit it was but it was molded and a metallic gold and all it needed was clear coat ..👌👍
Great build Chris! I built the original "Troublemaker" a year ago but the decals were shot so I had to improvise. I hope that Atlantis continues to put out more of Tom Daniels' kits. Tom S.
I scan all my decals especially for older kits, then print them out on new decal paper. I started doing that when I aquired an old Revell Bass Buster Elcamino kit and noticed cracks in the original decals.
What type of glue did you use to combine the parts to chrome. I alway have an issue with keeping these together. I didn’t see you scratch either surfaces. Thanks for another fun build.
I have done a few different things when it comes to painting and the frame and parts. Should I build frame and other parts first then paint for paint before assembly?
My advice is to always build and paint the way you find easiest. If it works for you, keep doing it. If you want to try a new way, give it a shot, but remember it's your hobby and your model and whatever works for you is the right way.
Yeah it was originally a Monogram kit and had those love it or hate it pre wrinkled rear funnycar tires that i swear were un everyone of their drag kits
They were first included in the Snake and Mongoose kits, and they had a wicked seam down the centre. Use masking tape painted black to give them realistic treads.
What glue have you been using lately that has the brush built into the cap? I've used Testors glue with the brush built into the cap and it never bonds the pieces together very well or quickly.
I like Plastruct Bondene, Model Roundup and other places sell it. Most of the liquid cements on the market work fine. I've used Testors liquid with the pinkish label without issue myself, in fact I pour the Bondene into an old Testors bottle because it's shorter and wider.
Great question, and it's because numerous model sellers were using my pics and video to sell their models and not giving me credit for my work. One very famous model seller was even going as far as removing the watermarks placed in the corners to deny letting people know who made the model. I now have to watermark the images on the model itself unfortunately..
@@hpiguy Incredible.amazing what some dishonest humans will do to achieve fake credentials. I too have seen some,not a lot,but some of my pics used and l consider it a form of flattery in a way. ANYWAYS,I UNDERSTAND. so sad that a few spoil it for the rest of us. Maybe post the models with a wheel missing,LOL!

Gotta admit,this thing is way cool!
Love the dullcoated rims, looks truly lifelike!
I think I bought every Tom Daniels model I could get my hands on when I was kid. His stuff is a huge part of my childhood.
Those Monogram kits were a little simplified but always went together well. The Bad News '60 Chev sedan delivery with double-carb Z/28 302 was awesome.
Hey this model factory is in my neck of the woods. I just toured their factory with my model club afew weeks ago. Meet the owners great people.
Wasn't sure I would like that but after its done I like it
I gotta have this.
I had the original Troublemaker when I was a kid and I loved that car!!!!!!

Came out great. Something a little different for sure.
Great job Chris. Always loved the Tom Daniel kits they were simple but always finished up really nice!! Thanks Tom!!! You know in this case it’s parachutes because there are two of them!!! Ba-dum-pum 🥁
I built this one before, when I did it was a reissue of the late 90's.
You can't beat Tom Daniel, or his son, for imagination, and creativity. It appears to be a 72 nose on a 73-77 body. Pretty cool.
Great work you channel put me back in love with modeling again havent done it for close to 30 years
That is awesome!

We’ve figured out what he was talking about, and we buy it. It’s not a big deal.
@@michaelcooke2559 It was a big deal for the three guys I had to assist just in the last month. Not everyone is all-seeing like yourself.
I like the fact you painted the extinguishers in yellow!
Cool video Chris, as always... Stay safe!
Another top job, keep doing what you doing your way cheers 👍🇦🇺

Sweet looking !!!
Just got this kit and looking forward to building it!! 👍👍👍
Wheely bars and chassis frame rails I had that 50 years ago the trouble maker and the outcast 57 Chevy and the plum crazy 57 Chevy cool kits
Great build video. That kit turned out great. Excellent detailing. As always, thanks for sharing.
I love it! I need to get one. Nice job!!

I love how the body turned out, great build.
That one really turned out nice. What a cool looking design.
That's a really super cool build up Chris keep up the great work and enjoy
Awesome work 👏 👌 👍
Absolutely gorgeous.
Nice job, a kit I think you will enjoy to build is the AMT 1963 corvette stingray.
Man that’s a good looking model and no paint on the body impressive. I’m not a car modeler but this drill inspires me to get this kit. Great job!
👍👍 well done!

Really nice dragster build Chris! The decals are a perfect match for the molded in color body!! Very well done!!!
Really nice! I built the original Troublemaker about 15 years ago and ordered this one last night.
Very nice and simple kit.Great build as always,thanks for sharing 👍
Another great build! Hope to grab one soon!!
Hope you enjoy it!
Definitely adding to the stash great build keep em coming.✌Canada✌
TY Chris. That was fun to watch. I'm somewhat skeptical of anything molded in color, but that bare plastic was very nice.
I built this as the Trouble Maker in the seventies. As typical of all Monogram Tom Daniel designs, an easy builder that was molded in colors for instant gratification for a kid that was under the age of ten. If it comes to Hobby Lobby, I might pick one up. Hobby Lobby has a few Atlantis kits in non-automotive plastic. I'm hoping they'll expand.
Holy cow that's a good looking kit
I've seen thousands of funny cars but never one with a El Camino body..... WICKED ✌😎

my favorite modeling channel ! Please keep the video's rolling in 🙂🏁
Yes, it is a really cool body style! 🙂
Awesome job, I just started this one
That came out great.nice work.
This is really a great looking build. Thanks.
Sometimes the color molds are just as good as a paint job I agree with you Chris !

Excellent Review Chris, Love The Final Results 🤗🤗 Thanks For Sharing Your Fun and God Bless All 🤗👍 Gary.
Nice build Chris,keep up the great work. 👍
Got to hand it to Atlantis, they've stepped up their game. I've noticed the increase of their kits you've been doing.
nice job as always!
Very nice. What kind of glue did you use to put the rear tire halves together?
Rubber cement.
Excellent work.
What type of glue did you use to combine the parts to chrome. I alway have an issue with keeping these together. I didn’t see you scratch either surfaces. Thanks for another fun build.
Super glue works well for me when gluing those parts.
Excellent! Do you have a video that shows how you apply the coats of Future floor polish?
Thanks!
Quite a few, just search the channel home page for Future or polish and they will turn up. :)
@@hpiguy thanks!
Maybe you could get a race car driver figure and put him in the seat of the car. Or get one that’s standing and put him next to the car.
top good job
Chris, can you tell me what kind of attachment you are using in the drill to scuff the tires?
I have done a few different things when it comes to painting and the frame and parts. Should I build frame and other parts first then paint for paint before assembly?

Id legit love to get one but I'm too broke and shippings insane.
It looks like it has a big block chevy with a toque flight transmission in it
🏎️
What happened to the red taillights?
love your channel,but why do you have "watermarks" all over your photo scroll? kinda takes away from seeing the finished model,my 2 cents.
Great question, and it's because numerous model sellers were using my pics and video to sell their models and not giving me credit for my work.

Never could figure out the reason for two piece tires.
Guessing it was the way they were done back in the day on large tires, probably how they had to carve molds by hand back then, etc.
Is that you uncle tony??
