Very nice work!

Outstanding work!

Excellent, excellent work!

At some point it seems that every clear coat will adversely affect decals. I have used Future exclusively for about the past 15 years. It is generally about as inert as one can get, but it has wrinkled a decal or three over the years.

Nicely done! I like to build kits like these from time to time.

Very sharp. Excellent work.

Excellent work!!

Great job! My dad had a 1970 Olds 88 that was about that color green. The car had a white interior and white vinyl top. Pretty car, but was awfully hard to keep all of that white clean.

Very nicely done!

Both look fantastic.

Excellent work!

Great work! The Cady decals could be difficult, but I believe he was one of the pioneers of the aftermarket decals.

Well said Michael!

That is an excellent article. Thanks for sharing it.

What I find interesting is that all of the cars I have seen so far, EXCEPT Mercedes, has the extension after the air intake above the cockpit. This must be for down force; perhaps in the turns. Mercedes had the field covered for the last few years, so the lack of this one body part may not have that much influence. But, it will be fun to watch who is right on this.

Best of luck to him. He has the 2 sleds for provisions so it looks like he is set there, but still at -30 things can go horribly wrong in a hurry.

The work you have done is really outstanding! Too bad it has to go into the car where a lot of the detail will be lost.

Yes, there can be too many parts. As I have gotten older, I do get bored with kits that have parts just for the sake of a parts count. It's additional time and perhaps paint and whatnot for stuff that will likely not be seen. Also poor engineering, poor building or a mistake by the builder can create fit problems and results that are less than desirable. The other issue that comes to my mind on a topic like this is that this hobby must attract more builders and the days of people building a dozen or two dozen kits before they see progress are over. They will not stick it out that long because there are too many other alternatives to spend their free time.

Looks real nice!

Good job on both!

Really stellar work!

Very nicely done.

The paint job is amazing!! Great looking model!

Very nice looking model. What color did you paint it? In some of the pictures it looks gold and silver in others.

Great job! I built that kit a number of years ago and it is still one of my all time favorite builds.
