  1. That's good information. I didn't realize Rustoleum 2X primer would be safe under Duplicolor Perfect Match lacquers.
  2. Great looking build and that color is awesome. It's a shame Testors discontinued that turquoise.
  3. I agree it is a very rewarding procedure in the build process. I can't say I find it relaxing though....lol. Maybe with more practice I'll think differently. But for me there are other aspects of model building that are very relaxing.

    Turned out great and the paint has a real nice shine.
  5. Very neatly built and the under hood detailing adds greatly to the engine compartment.
  6. Spectacular work as always. Wet sanding between coats of clear as you have done to produce this mirror like finish is something I need to attempt. I'm always concerned about burning through the color coat at that stage though.
  7. Turned out great Nigel as all of your exterior foiling and detail work is very cleanly done. I especially like the detailing of the interior components.
  8. I'm not sure if that's a factory color but that green '56 Chevy is a beauty and that silver '57 Biarritz is an absolute stunner. The bright yellow and white '70 or '71 Cutlass parked next to the '59 Impala is also very impressive.
  9. I've yet to see supplies (paints, glues, styrene strips etc) discounted since the 40% off coupon was discontinued. Those are items I need more than model kits (which I understand are occasionally discounted) currently.
  10. Looks excellent and I like your panel washing around the door and trunk openings.
  11. That's a beauty. The floor mats add a nice finishing touch to the interior.
  12. Always enjoy seeing your masterful builds. I like cleanness of the 1.2 mm rivets for the door and trunk locks. Just wish I could find those or something comparable.
  13. Great build and excellent work creating the grill.
  14. Great build and being a fan of green cars I think this is a beautiful shade.
  15. I've had some issues with the first 1/4" or so around the edges of the sheet not having any adhesive properties. I've also received a sheet that was cracked in multiple places making those areas unusable. Overall I do like the product however.
  16. I've always liked the "Countdown Series" kits as they were some of the first models I ever attempted when they were new. I've never seen the "69 Cougar built as a custom version especially since the more recent release doesn't include those parts.
  17. Okay, good information should I run into a similar circumstance.
  18. How do you go about repairing the C-pillar on the Buick. And a '65? That's a pretty rare model I would think.
  19. That's just perfection. I like this era of the Nova with a vinyl top.
  20. Great job as always. I've only seen a couple of these in person all the years I've attended car shows.
  21. Great save Jason and I like the color and application of the blue.
  22. Great work grafting the Camaro roof onto the Firebird body. I'm looking at my Firebird which is currently unbuilt and some of what stands out is the front windshield was not brought up high enough and the rear quarters should have a more rounded appearance where it meets the back of the car. Not having your skills I'll probably just build mine as it is out of the box but I'll probably build up the drip rails with styrene rods since the trim lines are barely molded around the side windows.
  23. It's true and we've all seen old muscle cars from time to time that were just primer. Are you looking to do a factory type color for this one?
  24. I like this color and it's okay if this one is done without an engine. I build them curbside occasionally.
  25. The paint polished up beautifully and the interior looks very crisp. I like the exhaust tips and just purchased some aluminum tubing the other day as I'd like to use this procedure on some future builds.
