📖 [Rolife Journey] “Vintage Car” -TG504 (Part 1)

Now it’s time for our garage to have its first customer.

I’m so surprised this little box actually has glue in it.

Here are the rest of the contents.

Already getting use out of the silver pen I received in a previous kit.

Perfect color match.

I have the mechanics in the shop working on the engine. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:

This should be fun. I have gotten glue in some of the older version kits. Its different than that one though. A clear bottle. Nice but a bit messy.

The glue they gave me has worked well. I like the nozzle. It made it really easy to apply.

The glue they gave me is NOT good for fabric but they didn’t expect me to try to upholster the seats. No regrets though. I did get the fabric to stick once I switched glues.

I have like 3-4 glues I bring out LOL

Looking good so far! Are you going to paint the whole thing?

I do not intend to paint this model. I will be doing some small customizations on it. I already upholstered the seats and added silver to the edges of the engine. I think the end product going to look good with mild customizations.

This was my first Rolife build i made :smiling_face: look out if you gonna make the doors. The small wooden piece at the top breaks very easily

What a perfect fit! They looked like they were part of the garage set lol. :star_struck: I’m also liking the way you used the silver pen, I would’ve never thought of that!

I totally understand why you said this model irritated you. There is a lot of points where it has me putting a lot of pressure on fragile parts. I could easily have snapped several pieces by now if I wasn’t being extremely careful.

It should probably be rated higher than 1.5/5 difficulty. I definitely would not recommend it for beginners. I wouldn’t recommend this kit in general unless someone really likes old cars and has a huge amount of patience.

I don’t think I could have ever found a more perfect color match than that pen. I wish they would include pens like this in more of their kits. Something that is the right color to cover large seams.

That car would look great on the garage. And that silver acrylic pen sure is useful for this build. Excited what you’ll make of the car.

Oh, I’ve never seen glue in a Rolife kit before (then again, I’ve never built a Nook or a Miniature House to begin with). But this is looking interesting! Can’t wait for your updates.

Yes. This build has a few places where it can easily break.

This glue came with the car model. It’s a small flat box so it surprised me. Sometimes the rokr models do come with glue.
