Must have been before my time. Oh well...

Oh he's a handsome devil! Nice job!

Very cool color!

Picked one of these up today. 40% off at Micheals! Never built one before, so I was suprised to see parts to build it stock. Cool.

Nice! Cool use of the louvers.

Nice job. Always loved that kit. I've got one of those in that same box. My dad & I built it when I was just a kid. Dad painted the body and I did a typical little-kid-glue-bomb job on the rest. The paint job he did is pretty cool. I plan to restore what he did and completely redo what I did some day.

Have you guys seen these? Pretty cool concept. Imagine stuffing one of these into a '32 Ford or some other street rod. http://thekneeslider.com/duke-engines-5-cylinder-4-stroke-3-injector-valveless-axial-engine/

That's hilarious!

Very cool project and very nicely done.

Those are so sweet! How cool would it be to build a scale version of one of those... I'd be all over it.

I know the feeling. Never lost a part before and just last week I was cleaning an exhaust manifold at the kitchen sink when it slipped from my fingers and down the drain it went. Just seconds before that I was thinking "I should probably put the strainer in just in case I drop something".

Beatiful job! That green vinyl roof is awesome!

Wow, that's just rediculously cool... Excellent build.

Nice! Love that car. I've got the Testors version of the same car on my bench right now. Just need to do the suspension and assemble the whole thing and it'll be under glass.

Just wondered. I've seen some musical references in names, signatures, & avatars while looking around on here. I've played guitar for about 25 years. Not in any bands anymore & probably won't be again, but I'm still jammin' with friends from time to time. Anybody else play anything?

Mike & Bill, those are some outstanding looking paint jobs.

Thanks guys. Got a few factory stock projects with colors I'll probably have to step up to the plate and spend some money. Probably try out MCW. Also thinging about giving the nail polish a shot. Bet they have some killer colors for hot rods.

I know this has probably been discussed before, but for those of you who are airbrushing those killer laquer finishes, where do you get the paint? I know MCW sells it, but that's more than I want to spend on 1oz of paint. Same with automotive laquer. All the local shops want to sell it by the quart. I keep hearing about Model Master laquer, but I'm not seeing much of a selection on line. Are those the only options? I'd really like to give laquer a shot sometime, so let me know what you're using and where you're getting it. Thanks!

Really cool. That's one you don't see everyday.

Everytime I see one of these I have to smile. What a crazy car. That's just plain cool.

That looks great. Really nice detail! I'm thinking of getting the wife a 1:1 WRX for her next car (because I want to drive it!). Or maybe go a little cheaper and get the Impreza.

Yup, it just gets old when you get crappy service everywhere you go. I'm a firm believer that if you get good service, you may tell a few people about it. But get bad service and you're gonna tell everyone you know. But these big companies today just don't seem to care. If they lose your business, there are ten people in line behind you that will make up the difference. Just really made my day to see that Testors (a company that I've been pretty loyal to since the mid 70's) is better than that.

"Automatically drops leaflets in flight!! How cool is that! I love to see it in action. The last one I built I used plain old Elmers wood glue for assembly and Brodak dope for the tissue. You can get it here: http://brodak.com/brodak-paint-16-oz.html

Man, that's beautiful...

Thanks guys! I can get pretty critical of my own work, and normally when I'm done with a model, I don't feel very inspired by it. Sometimes, once completed, they just look a little fake or toy-like to me. But this one was different. I was pretty pleased with this build.
