Smitty

Great job Howard. Nice to see these classics see the light of day. The Lola is my favorite! Eric

Great job! They don't come much cooler than this. Very tastefully and cleanly built. The stance is just right. I also love the Clay Smith decal!

Thanks for the info on the tail/backup lights Cliff. I find that kind of information interesting, and helpful. The model looks terrific. I'm totally impressed with how correct the roof looks. Even the paint finish in the trunk looks spot on. Overall this is a very fine tribute to your real Chevy.

Beautifully done Mike. Excellent colour choice. I have one that was built up many, many years ago that I got from a neighbour. It's not as clean as yours was, but it should still be a relatively easy restoration. Your fine paint work and foiling will be an inspiration when I re-do mine.

A small investment in time yielded nice results Gene. A big improvement. Eric

Excellent job Cliff! It's an authentic traditional custom with your own original ideas incorporated. The colour is beautiful, also, it's nice to see a custom done from that period that doesn't have skirts over the rear wheels for a change.

Just when you thought you'd seen everything. Absurdly detailed is right! Amazing.

Steve, your models are always a treat to see. It's especially great to see such a rare model done so well. Beautiful colour choice! Eric

I'm with you Tom. I use a piece of glass, then roll some flat acrylic paint onto it with a small foam roller. I drop the tire onto the paint, then gently press down on the tire. You can practice and keep trying to get the results you're happy with, just keep some water or isopropyl alcohol and a cloth handy to wipe the tire off. Then try again.

Another inspirational build, Larry. I like the background story here. You were planning this one for quite some time, and now here it is. There's a ton of satisfaction that goes with 'crossing one off of your list'. Those hand made curved front doors must have been a lot of fun to do, along with all the other amazing working features that are always a part of your models. Overall a very authentic replica. No doubt all the reference gathering you did over the years really paid off. Thanks for posting it Cliff.

Done a million times yes, but not always this nicley. You did it justice sir! I have one in my stash waiting for me...

Nicely done GTX to be sure! One can clearly see the differences between this and the AMT offering. In defense of AMT, I will say while I like the Johan body more, I think that AMT has the superior chassis and drive train, as it should, considering how much newer the AMT kit is.

Your paint job does look really good on this one Dan, and I don't see what you've accomplished as cheating. You happen to have a particular skill that just happens to come in handy for model building!

That's a very tidy build. I really, really like the color choice and your detailing on the engine and interior is exceptional!

This is very exciting. While we don't all have access to 3D printing at the moment, I can see the future of car modelling, and it looks very bright!

Really nicely done! You certainly ironed out all the 'wrinkles' in this kit.

Very nice work Gene. These are all dream machines, but the Chevelle is my favorite. Happy New Year!

Well, Steven, it's frustrating when 'life' gets in the way of your passion, but like everyone has been saying, you did a beautiful job on this Pontiac. Your black paint job is a knockout!

That's pure magic Steven. That dash is like jewelry. I was wondering what you use to mask your seats when you do a multicolored treatment? Eric

A beautiful job Randy. I love the colour. Is that enamel? I'm in the middle of this kit myself. Mine's purple.

That's awesome. You did a great job giving it an authentic original look. It's true, everything looks very much in scale.

A beautiful job. I have paint envy. My black paint would never look this good. It doesn't look like you even had to polish it. Would you consider giving a brief description of your paint method?

It looks fantastic Cliff. I'm amazed that you were able to seamlessly graft the body parts from two unrelated diecast models. Superb attention to detail as well. I think the majority of these end up as customs or street rods, so it's really nice to see a stock one for a change.

Very nicely done., and your paint work is first rate.

That's hilarious! I'm not sure if that's what you were going for, but it made me smile! I thought VW-based kit car as well.
