Totally Macgyver'd.....I love it ! If you just gotta have a wooden wheel Quick Reply Reply harry Member since August 2007 From: Halfway between the Loop and the prairie Posted by harry on Wednesday, August 13, 2008 3:00 PM On most cars that feature wood trim, wasn't the wood almost always varnished to a high gloss? And wasn't the actual wood grain "surface detail" you mentioned buried under several coats of gloss...thereby leaving the wood with a glassy smoooth finish? Even on unfinished woods, as for example the stakes on a stake-bed truck, the rough grain surface detail (not the woodgrain pattern, but the actual "ins and outs" of the grain) would be virtually invisible when reduced down 24 or 25 times. Nothing wrong with using real wood on a model, if you have the talent to do so, but I still think realistic decals (either store-bought or homemade) are a better solution for most "average" modelers in most cases. Of course, decals won't always work..you can't very well decal a wooden steering wheel rim, for instance. That's where your best bet is a painted woodgrain finish. I know the phrase "nothing looks more like real wood than real wood"...but I don't think it's necessarily true in many cases in the 1/24-1/25 scale world. The pessimist sees the glass half empty. The optimist sees the glass half full. But only the realist sees that the glass is simply the wrong size. -------------------------------- "I've had a wonderful evening.

Dann, you need to enter this in the 2020 Cannonball Run....?

Coming along Luke ? So the only kit parts you are using so far, are the dash and the top of the interior tub rails,....? ? oh, and some engine.... Great scratching ! Cheers

I don't know why this wasn't posted yet... following along Dann

Nice paintwork, picking out the details, John. Those seatbelt decals behaved nicely for you ? Cheers

Engine looks really good Steve,.. It's at this point that I start thinking of maybe making a scale motor stand, and leaving it out of the car...lol Watching? Cheers

Nice work on that wrap Kurt..tools are looking the part too. Glad the distributors showed up! They add so much when your wiring ....

Awesome

Looking good Scott..it's a Nascar style MSD HEI terminal distributor Good job on the leather seats ?

Sonny, JC, Kurt, Dann, I hear you about the movie, one of my Favorites, saw it with my buddies in the theatre when it came out ..a blast Yep I would take the Cobra over the Ferrari too .. just based on the price of replacement parts ..lol I got a bit more work done on fitting the body, chassis, interior tub,... There were no locators for the tub, so installed one And had to grind out some tub bottom to allow the frame to sit properly Went to my local Canadian Tire to peruse the Duplicolor selection,... This is Ford colour medium blue metallic CBFM0382,...very close, but in person...looks like it would be great on a Meyers Manx.... little too much This is the only engine shot of the Cobra in the actual film...looks like they used the large oval air cleaner on a single 4bbl carb. ...so that's what I'll do....

??

Single malt colour?

Nice detail for 1/64th there Paul?

Nice,...this is gonna look sweet ;),...where abouts did you aquire those tires..?

Beautiful Build Francis !!!
