Thanks guys. The vinyl roof was done with Tamiya Mat Black and before it dried I splattered some Semi Gloss at it from about 10" away. Up close it as a little texture to it and even gives off two shines, kind of like the real deal.

Thanks guys.

Evilbay find, box stock except for wheels and tires. They are from the Revell 65 Chevy pickup kit. Tamiya rattle can black, buffed and polished.

My link Here is the file for the build. This started as the Black Widow Kit. Early Modified Sort Tracker Engine block wit FRW V-covers, Oil Pan, Manny and Injectors. Front axle is scratch built with 55 Chevy truck leaf springs, 32 ford five window wheels and B.W. tires. Rea rend is from the same truck kit with B.W. leaf springs, parts box ladder bars, Don Garlits Dragster wheels And tires from parts box. The flopper is hinged on two pieces of alum. tube with a piece of styrene rod for the pin. I did this because the kit body had some real bad mold lines that required some serious work. I had hope to hide the problems, which I think I did! But made for a much more interesting model also. The headers are scratch built from styrene also. Body paint is Tamiya rattle cans, Mica Red and Champaign Gold. With BMF. I used Tamiya weathering kits and The Detailer washes also. This was a great build, lots of fun and I have a 55 and a 56 to complete the set. Thanks for looking. If you would like to see the WIP pictures you can PM me and I will send you the link. It's on another model forum and would not be nice to post it here.

Thanks guys. This is a great kit, I had a lot of fun building it.

I took the morning and completed the Nova. I really like this kit! Fit and finish is right on. Mostly out of box except for some FRW Parts, Parks Parts and a little scratch building. Color is Tamiya Gun Metal, weathered with chaulk and Detailers Wash. Thanks for looking, comments welcome. PS I did add a driveshaft hoop!

Nice paint, real Shining! Your Murder-ing me

Both my boys and myself had a pretty nice day. Being the first time for me at this show it was a bit of a learning curve. I have to say the price stucture for entry to the venders area was a big put off. But we did see some old friends and meet some new ones also. Not sure if I'll go back or not, but the boys and I sure did see alot of very nice builds at this NNL.

Me and the boys are planning to be there. Is the show on Saturday?

Flat clear over Tamiya Candy Green TS-52!

What a beautiful build, nicely done!

Yes I did, open the wheel openings and the color is Tamyia #TS-56 over gray primer. Thanks for looking!

Thanks, the bumper lights are from the AMT 33 Ford Sedan kit and the bar lights are from an older Model A Roadster.

I have a set also. They are perfect for removing rivets, bolt heads, door handles or emblems. Or just about any small piece you would like to remove. Mine came withe the scribe tool, very handy.

Yes Dave, I did get to use it. I ddidn't even strip it! Just shaped it a bit to fit and painted the top support yellow. It looks real good. Iwill have to try that some time. Thanks!

Thanks Al, and all for the kind words.

The wheel tire combo came from a Jeepster/Mountain Goat kit.

As always, thanks for looking....
