Jaguar XKE Pro Mod


Recommended Posts

I don't know, what to say... The chassis looks GOOD!!! I like the weathering, and that silver basecoat on it. The talents are simply outstanding with this one... Can't wait to see it finished... I'd like to build one PM too, but after seeing this one, I'll hide that one forever :angry: !

I agree..

The close ups.look so real..

frame colour and tarnishing adds to the "Used" look.. the completed model will attain.

Hello John. I'm fairly new here, but I am totally blown away with the level of detail you are putting in this build. I love details and especially scratchbuildin', but you have gone beyond. Truly an amazing build.

John i have seen alot of your work on line and in the model magazines. I ever have the new model car mag. you're one of the FAB FIVE award winners. Your incredible Jammer Stremliner is one of thebest i have seen. So don't take this the wrong way a please no one out there take it wrong. But i don't under stand you weathering the chassis on a Pro Mod, it looks like it been out in someone back lot! All the Pro Stock, Pro Mods, Pro Xs and so on are super clean inside and out.
