Building the 1967 Chevrolet Impala SS: 1/25 Scale Model Kit from AMT.

Another AMT car model kit but this one surprised me. Very well engineered with very good fit and finish on all the parts. No issues with assembling this Chevrolet Impala SS!
I use spray can for most of the painting along with Tamiya Acrylic brush painting.
I use Tamiya Cement for connecting all the parts together
Thank you for watching!

Omg finally someone who shows themselves building it! Thank you so much! That rear suspension was so confusing from the instructions. This is my first model car and I was getting so frustrated! You rock!

[@seeds4hobbies]

Thanks! and Good luck on your first build, it will turn out great I am sure!

[@PatrickKend]

Just take your time. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. As you get more models under your belt your confidence will grow. I’ve been building for 40+ years and I still learn new ways to improve. It’s a great hobby. Enjoy it.

[@michaelmyers3892]

I've always loved model kits that gave you a separate frame with a very high level of detail on the suspension this way you can create a three-dimensional realism by adding brake lines and fuel lines to give it more realistic look the toys colors you chose for this was beautiful that Violet looks great it's a beautiful build indeed

[@michaelcooke2559]

Very nice build. This proves you can build a neat looking model without going all out. Thanks for sharing.

[@seeds4hobbies]

Thank you I appreciate your comment!

[@adamwuttemberger7923]

Always had a hard time painting chrome trim with a brush and silver paint ,never thought of using a silver Sharpie awesome idea👍👍👍

[@seeds4hobbies]

I am just like you, trim is very difficult for me...the silver sharpie was a game changer! Saves time and looks good for me

[@orangepeelproductions7381]

Looks good. This was my first car kit. Painted mine testors Pearl Grape!

[@kingranch1962]

Very nice. I love the ;67 Impala kits. You can be as creative as you want.

[@seeds4hobbies]

Thank you! I got another impala in my stash that I will get around to eventually...

[@animalyze7120]

Proper detail brushes will make life so much easier ;) Bare metal foil can be a challenge at first but does become quite easy, taping off and using a chrome paint will make trim look crisper and cleaner. Lookin good!!

[@mikealexis]

Very nice ....love that one

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

Nice job on the model, and the video!

[@seeds4hobbies]

Thank you!

[@VengefulBatz]

Very nice! I bought the same model bout 2 months ago. I'm going a DIFFERENT direction. Ill try and keep ya posted in the end.

[@seeds4hobbies]

Right on! Let me know when yours is finished, would love to see it.

[@IndigoOptimusMaximus]

Can you make a tutorial on how to get the hood attached but still able to open?

[@RestorationAustralia]

Looks great, well done.

[@seeds4hobbies]

Thank you very much!

[@PeacefulKey]

Nice job. Enjoyed the video.

[@user-bl2so1yh3z]

There are sole room of inprovement

[@crushinbullyz997]

Great detail! No glue?

[@seeds4hobbies]

Plenty of glue was used to put this one together

[@Adalbertoquiñonez-j6l]

Yo compre ese mismo y todavía no lo he montado

[@kennythemysterion78]

how do u cement it???

[@Maty-fisherman]

I just finished the same model, but I noticed your frount seats are bucket seats, in my kit they were bench seats for the front, I had to cut the console so it would fit in to place.

[@seeds4hobbies]

interesting error...for sure they should be bucket seats! Glad you made it work!

[@scooterdoughmas3012]

have a 67 needs repainting tinkin frost blue 😅 not to be that guy but i would've put the suspension together first that way the stance is Savy 😁🤩😎

[@Manny-qf8ky]

Something that really infuriated me when I built this kit is one spring for the front suspension was longer than the other and I couldn't put the lower suspension piece on since it was too long, did you have this problem?

[@seeds4hobbies]

That is so annoying when it happens! I did not have that problem with this kit though, I was surprised how trouble free the suspension was and that all 4 wheels were actually level on the ground once built.

[@Manny-qf8ky]

@@seeds4hobbies I was wondering if you knew any ways to actually fix it? I’m planning on flushing the hole out with paint thinner to check if any thick paint got into there

[@seeds4hobbies]

@@Manny-qf8ky not 100% sure, if one spring is too long I would cut it to make it even with the other. Or if the opposite i would make a spacer from the sprues or spare plastic to make the spring longer.

[@Manny-qf8ky]

@@seeds4hobbies I found the issue, I think the spring is genuinely too WIDE to fit in the suspension hole, it's weird but I think the factory made a mistake with the sizing and made it too big to fix in the hole, strange but I can sand it down to where it'll fit.

[@KennySalter]

Like to spend more time detailing my models.

[@nicolasordazmichel8411]

excellent job you did on this impala 67 I just need to explain if the primers are matte or semi-gloss

[@seeds4hobbies]

I used Gloss paint on it

[@YourDearestMemories]

I got one from Hobby Lobby but when I tried building it none of the pieces fit together.

[@seeds4hobbies]

Has to be glued together!

[@franciscoovalle4853]

What's best glue to use for painted parts?

[@seeds4hobbies]

I still use Tamiya Cement for painted parts but sand down the paint first. Or use super glue to avoid a mess

[@analeighs.1575]

So are you saying, i dont need glie to make sure the pieces stick? Theyll just click right together?

[@seeds4hobbies]

You definitely need glue to put this together, I skip the part where I cover the contact points with glue. 👍🏻

[@garyjust.johnson1436]

Do the matching 4 door from SuperNatural next!

[@seeds4hobbies]

Thank you for the comment, I will keep an eye out for that kit!

[@bigeddie1231]

very cool looking build sir just found you and sub

[@seeds4hobbies]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it!

[@dilrajshergill9323]

What’s that paint you’re using to paint the transmission and fire wall accessories?

[@seeds4hobbies]

Tamiya Aluminum paint!

[@BluestreekCustoms]

Awesome build my friend, I noticed that You used Premier Paint, lol Where in Canada do you live, I'm in New Brunswick, Keep up the great work.

[@seeds4hobbies]

Thank you very much for the comment! Good catch lol, I 'm in Ontario!

[@THEOFFICIALGENIE]

So you have to use glue right

[@seeds4hobbies]

Yes you have to use glue to put this together

[@Yoglawm]

Hi, it looks like your build matches the quality of the kit - you didn't make the extra effort to create a great looking car just like AMT did with this kit, I say that because I am building the kit and dang, it's taking me a lot of time to clean the parts to make it look decent. Sorry no offense, just disappointed that a kit costing $30 should be perhaps a bit cleaner?

[@jasongette3392]

Good average build..be cool you added wiring and hoses brake lines and clear coat and polished it with bare metal foil not a marker.

[@seeds4hobbies]

I appreciate the feedback, I find enjoyment keeping things casual and just building out of the box.

[@kayleb028]

lol i just build mine off of yours bcz i lost my instructions🤦🏼‍♂

[@seeds4hobbies]

Haha, I am glad the video helped! Keep on building!
