Very cool

The bright color mopars have quite the following, but man does this look good in white. This would be my choice… great job!

Stunning build. I worked at a dealership for many years that sold exotics and was an authorized Pagani retailer. The details of these cars in person is beyond impressive. You did a great job bringing those details down to scale along with a sharp color combination. This is definitely one to be proud of. Great work!

I’ve had great luck with the Tamiya nippers.

I think the complexity of some of these exotic/supercar/hypercar (whatever they want to be labeled as LOL) kits is underrated, and this kit is one of them. You made it look easy with these results. Beautiful finishes, fit, and details. One of the best Senna's I've seen. Great job!

Beautiful 356. Perfect color combination for that car. Beautiful paint work and details. One to be very proud of! Great job.

This is a really awesome build. Super job!

great build!

Great looking truck!

Wanted to bump this post and see if anything has developed over the last several months for CT. Thanks!

Yes, I agree. SME is a great channel. I’ll give this episode a watch. Thanks!

Great idea. Thank you for sharing that video. Not sure how I have not stumbled upon that YouTube channel before but man there is some great information on that page.

Thank you all for the advice. This is all super valuable information. I typically build more box stock style models but I’m going to implant these processes into my builds. I do have a project in mind that is going to be more on the full custom side so all these answers will help tremendously.

Awesome. Thank you guys for the insight. I do test fit parts but a full blown mock up is what I think I need to be doing to get some models where I’d like them to be. I’ll give that a shot on my next build. Unfortunately, a little too far into the one currently on the bench to do that LOL.

Hi Everyone, I've had a couple kits I completed recently (and am working on currently) that had some fitment issues that I only realized after the parts or even the body, were painted. Even painting the body, assembling the chassis all painted and compete just to find out, something is warped when bringing the two together. It was quite frustrating and I was looking for a way to help avoid this in the future. My question here is: Do you typically build the kit entirely with an Elmers glue or something similar, without paint to get all fitment issues sorted and then tear it down, paint all the parts, and re-assemble? What are some ways you have avoided fitment issues after parts have been painted? Any insight, tips or tricks here would be great. Thanks in advance! -Steve

Great work! I’ve never had much luck with the Krylon paints but this looks absolutely fantastic.

Beautiful 442! Black and white stripes on these look so sinister. Well done!

Great looking hot rod

Sweet build!

Beautiful!

Perfect chop and stance. Great build!

Get out of the way! That’s a great build, well done!

The weathering and details on this are stunning. Amazing work!

Another great build Chuck. Well done!

From the rust, to the stacks, this is a sweet build!
