Looks good, and great presentation to go with it!

Thanks! It's all Tamiya: Chrome Yellow over their pink primer, then hit with gloss clear. That looks awesome, the top and decals really fit the Manx nicely! It was Tamiya's TS-71 smoke clear, just a quick light coat right out of the can after it was assembled.

Built from Round 2's "Silver Screen Machines" release of the Meyers Manx with the Elvis-themed box art and included movie poster. Silly as it was I decided to go with the chrome engine, giving the block/transmission a shot of Smoke clear to tone down the plastic-iness and repairing all the sprue attachment points with BMF or Molotow to make it look like everything had been polished or given a dress-up kit. It has a slightly modified roll bar and parts box steering wheel, tires, and hubcaps, everything else is straight out of the box. A full writeup is available here, and as always any comments/criticisms are welcome! With my Elvis-themed diecasts:

Very clean work, that looks great!

Thank guys! That's probably the biggest challenge to building it, everything is so small and delicate it's like handling a spider web at times. Once it's all together it seems plenty sturdy, though. Probably because it has no weight to get it into trouble!

Excellent work, that looks great!

Very slick!

Very nice! Having had a blue '84 way back when, it's great to see one of these done up right.

Very cool, that looks great!

Awesome job on these! I always like seeing tributes to Hot Wheels cars, there were so many cool designs that look even better with extra details.

Thanks!

Very cool!

Excellent work on this!

Thanks!

Nice and clean, that looks great!
