Mooneyzs Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 John... Outstanding work on the interior. I can only imagine what its going to look like with your Alclad skills.

Codi Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 John, I just had to do a bing search to see the pics of the real thing. You ARE killing the details of this. I want to buy stock in the faux rivet decal company (Archer I think? ) as you're going to need sheets and sheets of them. I never realized how much detail there is in the real one. This has to be one of the ambitious builds you've undertaken to date. I especially like your eye for design details, 1 example being the seat support and it's shape/curvature that you picked up beautifully. Such a build! cheers, tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I hereby tender my resignation to the modeling community. That is incredible work. Such attention to detail. And that natural metal finish ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curt raitz Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Definitely a model for all the "Rivet Counters" out there!!! Looking Good Johnnie Boy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasser59 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 W T H !!!! Where have I been? Just getting caught up on this riveting build and I must say you're been a busy Johnny. When I saw the original car picture in the first post, I almost jumped out of my seat in anticipation and excitement. You certainly haven't left one detail out on this brother. Keep after it.

Chariots of Fire Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 That's pretty awesome work. Not easy painting it with Alclad. That stuff shows up every little flaw unless you do neat work like you have done. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrod 97 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Incredible work! Just wondering - are you going to give it that “brushed” look, or keep it shiny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooneyzs Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Johnny Boy... as usual you have crushed the Alclad work out of the park my friend. This thing is looking Mighty Fine. I don't think there is a detail you have missed. Looking forward to your next epic update!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
