Looks real nice. Two things to keep in mind: The steering wheel will likely be unnoticeable when the model is finished. The second is that you will likely notice the short comings of your work long before anyone else.

Both look real good.

Very nice. These snap kits build up to be nice models with a little TLC.

Looks very nice.

Good job!

Both look real nice!

Really outstanding work!

Looks very nice Michelle.

Looks very good!

With as late as it is, they may have to find a warm body to put in the seat for 2017 and then do a more thorough search for 2018. But when a seat of this quality opens up, there are probably a number of guys' lawyers reading the escape clauses of their contracts. This will be interesting as it looked like all of the seats were spoken for at the conclusion of this season.

Looks good. You did well with what you had to work with.

For what it's worth, I use the number 2 blade and handle. it fits in my hand better.

Looks real good!

To answer the original question, it may be very difficult. Resin is typically glued together with epoxy or super glue. Regular modelling glue will not work with resin. I have had very little luck separating plastic when glued together with either of these and resin is much more brittle than plastic. Others may have a different experience, but that is mine.

Keep in mind that when the Pacer was introduced it hit the market with a resounding thud. When the car was in the planning stages, American Motors had let it be known that it would be made of fiberglass and have a rotary engine. When it came to the market, it was made of steel and used one of AMC’s off the shelf engines. The car was heavy, did not drive well and got very poor gas mileage for a car its size as a result. My first car was a 1975 Matador and I think it would be cool to have one again as a reminder of that part of my life. The reality though is that this was not a good car. It spent a lot of time at repair shops over common stuff that nobody puts up with in today’s cars. That seems to be a common thread to this era of cars. There were some good cars, the vast bulk of them fill a large sea of sadness.

Very nice. Hard to believe the Christmas season will be soon upon us.

The only thing I can think of is to figure out a way to chuck the tire into a drill and load a little bit of paint onto a brush or Q-tip. Put the brush or Q-tip on the tire and slowly spin it with the drill.

Steven, that is a brilliant idea. I too struggle with putting foil on my kits and never thought about using painters tape as a guide.

Model Car World makes paint that is a match of the real car. I do not have access to my computer right now, so I can't give you the web address. A search on any of the search engines will bring it up.

Very nice. One of my favorite body styles for that car.

Excellent work! Really stellar.

Back in the day, guys suffered permanent and serious illness from painting without a respirator or a paint suit. Now they are pretty much required in the 1to 1 shops. Given the reaction you had, I think you should wear a mask whenever you paint or clean up, particularly since this sounds like it has happened before.

I like Graveyard Carz, Detroit Muscle and Gearz.

Very cool!

Looks superb!
