  1. It's a piece of artwork! Love all the details
  2. Great that you are back on this build Dann!
  3. Looks like amazing progress, good luck! Did you create it in CAD yourself, buy the design, or backwards engineer from a 24th scale kit?
  4. You make it look so easy, looks beautiful inside and out
  5. And that Stealth look does suit it!
  6. Killer build, looks great in that livery!
  7. The tyre decals do make a difference, looks great!
  8. Impressive! Bring it on... you might convert me yet into a printerer myself.
  9. Paint job came out perfect!
  10. I like ot Tommy, no text, just let the pictures do the talking!
  11. That's a Heller'v a sharp build!
  12. Cool decals! And beautiful build!
  13. This is a great build, and loved reading through all the history... I too had this car on my wall as a child! I think I built this kit when I was about 12, loved it and want to do another... I like you added details like the shim for the wing mirrors or the acetate for the instruments.
  14. Finally got around to taking pictures of this, still not great piccies. The build went relatively well, I did put 2 coats of 2K; one before, and one after decals... was a bad idea, paint is too thick. quite detailed for such a small kit, enjoyed the build!
  15. That coat looks really shiny! And no polishing yet
  16. The New stang looks great, but that's a good question! How are you going to do the glass?
  17. Was looking good too! It'll come back to you!
  18. It's a beautiful build!
  19. Nice mods to the stance! It's coming along nicely!
  20. Wow, it looks great in this livery
  21. Got there in the end, we've had stalled builds! Looks great though...
  22. The Body shell was masked 5 separate times to paint the brack bits/trim for the rear light area, windshield surround, side trim around the windows and the front lip. it has been re-polished with Nuvous 2 & 1. then I've hand painted the interior of the engne bay flat black, and used tamiya smoke acrylic for the panel lines (this is why I had to re-polish - to celan up the over application - I almost runied the clear coat rubbing with IPA trying to remove the excess). the pop up head lamps stick, as they are rubbing with the body. I did check this before painting and they were fine. But with the paint build up, it was enough to tip it over. The clar parts are of poor quality, lots of stress marks and moulding witness marks, but they have just been polished and installed. I have struggled to glue them in, the PVA didn't stick to the tamiya gloss overspray, so I've had to stuff some Superglue in there. I did mask & spray the black lines on the lights, both front & back. the rear lights came out great, but you an't see them through the grill. the front ones are a bit too thick. nevermind, this is still much better than my efforts hand painting these black lines. I've added an after market Ferrari script on the engine bay & now its ready for final assembly. Next up will be finished shots.
  23. Hi Gary, looks very much like what I used to doodle draw & sketch when I was a child, but yours look like they have a lot more technical skill! You should certainly try to pick it up again, I know I want to!
