Looks great!

I clean the bench and put away all of the tools, paints, glues, etc. after every build. Once a year, usually after the Annual 24 Hour Build in January, I do a "deep clean" of the hobby room.

What a beautiful model!!

I am currently building the #16 car, (the one with Coca-Cola on it). Not being super familiar with this series, I was unsure about one seat or two seats. You just helped answer my question! Thanks! I am doing mine box stock so that I can enter it in that category at upcoming shows. You are doing a really nice job on yours. I'll be following along.

Always amazed by your creativity and your ability to pull off your ideas. Looking forward to seeing this one in person!

This is a great looking model. I think this is the first one of these that I've seen done as the Foose car. Nice job!

That is a great looking Lambo! Nice job!

Very nice model, Curt! I've said it before and I'll say it again. I'm a big fan of your work. So much so that today, at a not-so-local hobby shop, I picked up the 50 Olds kit and gave it some considerable thought. In the end I didn't buy it but I wouldn't have even considered buying a 50 Olds had it not been for seeing your great model.

Happy Birthday, Harry!

I'm heading up to the show. I don't have anything new to enter. I have a vendor who is holding a few kits for me. I'm looking forward to shooting the breeze with my buddies.

Terry, nice job on an iconic car! Nice pictures too. Is this an out-of-box build? If so, can you tell me which kit you used? I would like to build one of these but I want to make sure I get the correct kit. Thanks!

Now this is good news! Glad to see it. I am already looking forward to your next update with more good news!

Now that is some eye candy!

When I first saw this, I was on my cell phone. I had to fire up the laptop just so I could see bigger pictures! My first car, many years ago, was an Olds Cutlass, so I have a special spot in my heart for this body style. What a great model! As Dan Tier said a few post above, I just keep on looking at this one. Thanks for sharing.

Wow! That is just beautiful! I would love to see more pictures of this. What a great color.

Snake is right, do not just add black into the panel lines, especially on a lighter colored car, it will be too stark. In my opinion, I have seen some very nice, straight panel lines that had black added to them and it actually detracted from the model. There are several different ways of doing it. I had had good results "pre-shading", (to borrow a phrase from our military modeling brothers). I add the black on top of the primer before shooting color coats. As always, practice on a spare body if you can. Good luck!

That is a great looking model, Carl. Nice job and nice save!

What an outstanding model! Nice, clear pictures are great too.

David, I think you're getting this model building thing down...... Another very nice NASCAR model from your workbench.

I can't even begin to pretend to know how you feel or what is running through your mind right now. I hope they have caught it in its earliest stages. There are so many people pulling for you, sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. It will be good to see you when you are a proud member of the cancer survivors club! Go kick some cancer ass, Harry!!!

Very, very impressive! I'll be following this one for sure.

What a great looking model of a pretty cool car! Nice clear photos too. I'm glad to see that it is a nice model to build. I have all of these kits. I really need to break one out and give it a go.

The hood fit of this kit brings up an interesting point that I have mentioned in other threads. Harry, I know you do not compete but your models are definitely contest worthy and no doubt contest winners. I would bet money that if you were to put this model on a contest table, spectators as well as judges, would say "what a nice model, too bad the hood does not fit right". But the fact is the hood on the prototype didn't fit right either. My point is, older race cars are seldom pristine racing machines and if you build a correct replica, you are more than likely going to get dinged in a model contest. I have actually placed a picture of the real race car's "wart" next to my model so that the judges could see that my model was built to replicate the real car.

I have really enjoyed following this WIP! Great stuff in every update. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I must say, that is one clean looking model!! Wow! Nice job, Thomas.
