Very, very nice!

I am really having trouble with posting from my laptop. In all of my years on the forum I’ve never had this issue. It is very disheartening to spend a fair amount of time writing up descriptions and adding photos to only have your post not go through. I am going to try posting from my iPad. I may try to multiple small posts instead of one larger one. First up are the rotors. In the PE detail up set you can literally build all four rotors from PE. I started doing this, but unfortunately some of the rotor pieces were bent in shipping. I decided to go with the kit supplied PE rotor faces. I did a little weathering on them. I’ve got some tires and wheels to mount to those rotors. The wheels have two small OZ Racing decals. The wheel, hub, and wheel nut are separate colors. The valve stems are molded in place and I just picked them out. I added some PE to the steering wheel. I added two push buttons to the steering wheel and I made a coiled cable. That will do for now. Thanks for checking in. Comments, suggestions, and critiques are welcome.

She’s a beauty, Ken! You have done a great job on her.

Bob, the same exact thing has happened to me several times recently. There is no rhyme or reason that I can find. You are not the first person that this has happened to. I have posted on this forum for years and have never had a problem until very recently.

Fandamntastic!!!

You knocked this one out of the park, Dustin! Just a fantastic job all around!

I plan on heading up there tomorrow. I’ll also run over to Auto Models. I figure John will be vending, but I like going to his store.

She is coming along very nicely, Simo! Looking forward to the next update!

That’s a good looking dragster, Bob! I’m not sure how bad the decals were, but they look good from here, so kudos to you for a nice save!

Very, very nice!

Great looking Vette, Dennis!

Nice progress, Ken! Such a beautiful car.

Mark, they are lacquer. Dry / cure very quickly. They are not shiny and must be clear coated with a gloss clear to be shiny.

Time for a Monday night update. This will be a short one, but in real time this took quite a while. I primed the body in Gravity Colors Light Gray primer. I wish they made a wider variety of primer colors, but they don't. Light and dark gray are all they offer. Once the primer cured I shot their Titanium White on the body and misc. parts. This is some bright white! After the body sat for a day, I checked it out. It looked good at first glance, but upon closer inspection I saw that the back section was "pebbly", almost like sandpaper. I must have pulled back too far with the airbrush(?) At any rate, I knocked it down, masked it, and reshot it. It came out nice and smooth. That is it for this update. As I always say, I am farther along than what I post. I hope to have more updates soon. Thanks for checking in!

I have picked up and put down the Heller plastic kit several times. I don’t know much about the car’s pedigree, but I do like the looks of the car. I’ll pop a bag of popcorn and follow along on this one!

Sublime!

Very nice, Thomas! It is nice to see these built. I’m thinking that there are a lot of started but not finished ones out there…lol.

Love those McLarens! Nice job as usual, Rich. You’ve been knocking them out of the park!

I was a teenager when this TV show came out. I loved that van! I really like yours. Nice job!

Dang, Curtis, that is sharp! Like everyone else, I love that paint job.

Very nice!!

Fantastic floppers, Bill!

As I’ve said before, I don’t get on here as much as I would like to. The upside to this is I get to “binge watch” everyone’s progress! Pierre, you have done a fantastic job on this. I truly appreciate all of your updates, photos, and explanations of what, and how, you do things! Great job, buddy!

That is a fantastic looking Ford! You did one heckuva job on it!

Just saw this one and I’m glad that I did! Great looking ’57, Mike. I’m glad you posted a picture of the interior, it looks great.
