Ant

It looks fantastic, the weathering underneath is superb.

Thanks for the welcome. This is what the motor looks like right now.

Hi everyone, my name is Ant and I'm from England. I'm in my late 30s and have messed around with models for years but I'm pretty sure I've never really finished one. I bought a bunch of kits about 10 years ago and none got done because I started modifying everything rather than just building the thing as per the instructions. Anyway I'm going to finish this and reverse the trend. Monogram 1965 Impala SS. Spent a couple of evenings on the engine. I mixed red and orange together to try and match the pictures I saw on the internet. Since the picture was taken I have added the fan, belts, pumps etc. Got rid of that bump on the oil filter, put a bit of weathering on the motor and repainted the gearbox (the steel metalcote I had used started to rub off on my fingers).

This looks fantastic, I just pulled one of these out of my dusty pile of kits to build and got as far as trying to work out what colour the motor should be
