Great looking model, Rich!

Beautiful model, Chris! I have a couple of these in the stash. I can only hope they turn out half as nice as yours!

I used to have a small TV in my hobby room but found myself looking up at the TV way more than I wanted to. I got rid of it. Now it is a nice smaller stereo system and streaming Spotify.

Great looking truck, Randy!

Wow, Dustin, that is just spectacular!

Quite a number of years ago I was able to pick up this SoA from a vendor at NNL East. I walked past this beauty all day long and bought it as the vendor was packing up for the day. Forget what I paid but it wasn’t cheap. As a side note, the Stutz Black Hawk is mine too. My SoA has a small chip on the trailing edge of the tail. Interestingly you can see where the decals were located in my casting.

That is absolutely beautiful! What a stunning model!

I use this pencil. It works just fine. I use it mostly on PE for ships.

Another great tutorial! Thanks for taking the time to share all of this!

Wow! That is simple but soooo effective! I do believe I will be using this idea. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Very nice! Among my favorite F1 cars.

Very nice!

Very nice indeed!

This is just fantastic!! You just don’t see these models built. Yours is very cleanly built and those panel lines! Wow!

I really like this one, Ray. Nice job! I also think the wheels look great.

Thanks to you and your club members, James! It was a nice show. An overcrowded vendor area is almost always the case at both shows held at that venue. This year was much more comfortable, IMHO. I thought it was a great turnout, considering. As always there were some very nice models on the tables. You guys did a great job with the awards’ ceremony and the fact that you began tabulating the votes ahead of time was much appreciated. I’m looking forward to attending next year!

Oh my, you have many sincerest condolences for the loss of your family member, Dann.

A couple of pictures to illustrate the gap filling properties. No shrinking and can be sanded smooth. My example is the gas tank door on the Monogram ‘55 Chevy Street Machine.

Pete has nailed it! BSI user here too. Use the Gold bottle for clear parts and for Photo-etch. I too brush on my accelerator. Besides using CA glue for holding parts together, I use it for filling gaps, deep scratches and ejector pin marks, besides other things. I make a nice little dome of glue and hit it with accelerator. Leave it sit for just a minute or two and begin sanding it away to level. Best to do this very shortly after using the accelerator. I have read and have experienced, (at least in my mind), that the glue gets much harder after it sits for, say, 24 hours. Just food for thought

That is soooo nice! Great job!

Beautiful build, Scott!

Nelson, I agree with everything that was said previously. One thing that I didn’t see, and I Amy have missed it, is to dunk the glass in Future. This would be the last step. It is a trick that airplane modelers have used forever. I have used it myself on old, scuffed up windshields. It really does work and it works great. Before - notice the distortion After - the distortion is gone and the clarity is greatly improved

Wow, Ray, this is just too cool!

Just an overall great looking model, Rusty!

Just chiming in here for clarification. Mark seems to have knowledge of these kits. I could have sworn that Tom over at Hobby Heaven / Spotlight Hobbies had said one time that the Chevelle was a one and done kinda thing. Maybe he said that the annual was modified to make the stocker kit and never put back? Maybe he said that it, (the stocker), was only released once and modified to something else? This was many years ago so my memory on that statement is as clear as mud. I would love to hear what the correct story is. I have the original Chevelle Stocker that I built as a kid and I have a fairly pristine kit that I picked up at NNL East a number of years ago. I also have a spare original decal sheet.
