Hey Jordan, didn't realize that was your handy work...well done ! I just posted that to TJ down this page Thanks very much

Nice job on the 442 Stuart! Really nice paint and detail Funny you should put Ontario plates on it, I knew a Stuart Cox here in St. Catharines Ontario, some 25 years ago (or more). Cheers

Looking good Niko!! Just a little heads up..while doing Dan Gurney's '61, I found that the bottom line detail in front of the doors is actually a body line not the bottom of the chrome trim... I had to go back in and trim out that little sliver....just FYI
-
That came out Great Steve ! It all gels nicely, and I can see the influences from Roger's works in it. Well done bud

"And now for something completely different" from Pierre...Great start Really liking the body treatment -
Amazing!!!...I very much doubt that I could have the patience or dexterity to even attempt that. Well done, must be very satisfying

Donnie Allison's '74 Monte

Right ..as well, it seems cost prohibitive to Salvino's to go that uneeded extra step. The other thing I am finding with this kit, is that the mounting points on just about every part are not made for each other...pins too big and or holes too small...easily fixed with a little reaming or scraping...unless of course it is on a plated part...then just cut the pin right off ! Anyway...Body sanded and into Duplicolor sandable white primer... Happy -

Proper Scale for Details

https://www.micronmeters.com/category/on-line-store Cheap, fast, and courteous I've used this stuff on my last 5-6 builds for ign. wire...50 ft for $4.00...awesome -
Nice work !! I did something similar to mine many years ago.. (hope you don't mind..it's the only time they get dusted and out of their cabinet)
-
Yep..to each his own ..I used spray cans exclusively up until about 10 years ago..now I'm getting into craft paints thru the airbrush. The control is much better..the layers of paint are thinner...not to say you can't get a great finish with spray bombs, just that I found I was covering up alot of details. Have fun Cheers

Donnie Allison's '74 Monte
Belugawrx replied to Belugawrx's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
The dust has been flying, adding in the small fender flares on the Monte. Some .010 sheet and Tamiya putty Also, found this '72 up for sale from Ray Evernham https://www.mecum.com/lots/503116/1972-chevrolet-monte-carlo-nascar/ and since I can't find any interior or engine shots of the '74, I'll go with it. A bit more sanding and it's going into sandable primer. Later -
Wow!! That is spacey man..it all just flows beautifully...and that interior is PLUSH Well done !
-
You got me...nice finish on that Phil!
-
Welcome Tom Very nice job on the wrecker..look forward to more of your builds !

Ok plan B..went in with a diamond rotary bit and hacked the chrome off the front bumper where the driving lights are, and wallered out the 2 lower slots ...then started prototyping some sheet brass and styrene covers such as seen here and here Needs some refinement ..but getting closer Cheers -
