Great job on something so small !! As we get older I find it much easier to go bigger, you on the other hand...!?! Mind bottling Cheers Mark

Nice start on the Stude Kurt ?

Amazing work on the engine so far Charlie ??

It's looking good Pierre, shouldn't be too hard to drill and file those brake duct openings. Nice job on the cooler?

So sorry to hear that Jeff

The latest pic of ZigZag I keep the model room closed from her, but her undercoat hair will float for days.... Constant brushing and vacuuming, but I wouldn't trade this goof for anything❤️

I think we found a winner...? Thanks guys for the leads !

My apologies Mark, you are absolutely correct..I had completely forgotten that I picked up the snapper '57 for the rear wings and filed those wheels away for future use.

Beautiful work on those Bill, sadly no lathe here ...yet

This is what I am trying to replicate A little smaller and deeper

Nicely done Jim, I really like that livery and you did a great job with the decals ?

Nope, these came out of the Boyd Coddington '62 corvette kit

Looks good Rich, I've always loved that little go-cart?

Nice job on the 962 Tom ! I as well like the trackside photo?

I will check him out..thank you Bill

I am looking for some American racing wheels for my buddy's truck build.. I have these out of the Boyd Coddington '62 Corvette, but they scale out to about 20", and thats a bit too big (and they are skinny) Do these come in an existing kit in a smaller size, or are they available aftermarket? Any help is appreciated....Cheers

Looks like the decals laid down nicely for you Ray?

My friend Jimmy asked me to build his 1941 Ford out of a '40 kit that he has had for quite some time. Although started, I was able to carefully take it apart... This is his truck From the looks of it the only thing I will need to add are the extra chrome strips up the front of the hood, and take the bumperettes from the front bumper, and get rid of those louvers on the hood,... but if anyone sees anything else feel free to comment. He tells me it's a Jaguar colour, but I keep bugging him saying 'why a Chevy colour on a Ford.'?..lol More to follow as it happens Cheers

I started this more than 4 years ago, and didn't start a WIP because the sites were inundated with 312 T4 builds at the time and I didn't want to have to keep up..lol..anyways...I bare metal foiled the cockpit and fuel tank, added extra wires and plumbing to the engine and transmission, battery cables and hold downs, electrical to the gauges and controls, kill switch, brake lines to the front and rear, buttons to the windscreen, ...and on and on...I chose Duplicolor Acrylic lacquer spray #CBVW2037 Tornado red for the body paint, and some coats of Duplicolor Acrylic lacquer spray #CDAL1695 clear gloss to shine it up. Then lots of 1000g sanding followed by Novus polish #3 and Meguiar's Ultimate Polish to finish.The side skirts were sprayed with Alclad #116 semi gloss aluminum and the skid strips picked out with a Krylon silver leaf pen..the front and rear wings were stripped of the chrome and shot with Alclad #107 chrome over gloss black, and then coated with Alclad #600 Aqua Gloss Clear. All engine parts, skirts, and some body panel areas were washed with a variety of solutions..Tamiya panel washes and custom mixed grime washes...I don't like a clean engine..lolThe decals came from Michael at Indycals, although I did mask and spray the white with Duplicolor #CBHY Nordic White before decals went down to avoid any opacity problems.This is a close representation of Jody Scheckter's winning ride at Monza, but by no means perfect...On to the pictures...Any and all hairs you may see on the model were lovingly supplied by this girlThanks ZigThis build was in the box more than on the bench over the course of 4+ years and I'm happy with the results.Thanks for looking in...happy building !All questions, comments and critiques are welcome.Cheers

I like the tire and wheel combo.. I have this kit staring at me from the stash, I was thinking something like this...Root Beer roof and Ivory lower body I'll be following your progress..Good luck Cheers

Love it Howard.. need to see it as a tripod for your camera lol

And she's done... Setting up some glamour shots outside and going 'Under Glass' Thanks for following along and commenting on another 4+ year build...lol Cheers

Looks good Ray?

The Clear gloss acrylic lacquer I use is an automotive product, so quite durable... This is how it looks after....no more orange peel..YAY!! This is going into final assembly

Nice detailing there Pierre !
