    Glad you like it, Fabrizio! I didn't do a WIP on it. Just slapped it together.

    Thanks, Carl. I always enjoy your work, too! Tulio, Thank you. High praise coming from you. I always find your models so very impressive. I was pleased with how balanced the pickup looked. Almost a 'why didn't Chrysler do that?' moment.
  3. Now that is awesome! Love the colors and the flawless execution!!
  4. Nice!! {I gotta get some of those pyjamas!!!!}

  7. Not as bad as you indicated. You know the flaws better than we can see. Nice regardless.

    In my occasionally-continuing effort to remind myself (and others) that I actually finish some of my projects, I present my "If I Designed It" PT Ute. A Cruiser pick-em-up concept, if you will. Completed some time ago, I whacked the majority of the roof off, scratched up a bed and rear bulkhead for the cab, then blended all together. I didn't intend for it to have a tailgate, and I achieved that goal (LOL), although it has body seams that 'suggest' a traditional tailgate. [Do you like my ad-agency style spin?] Sprayed-in bedliner simulated with satin black overcoated with thick flat black sprayed from a distance to introduce texture. Used the Black Force kit wheels & tires, thinking they were the best blend of nostalgia and modern. Added tinted windows (exposed 35mm film) and sunroof and a scratch-built bed floor of real basswood and stain. I had this crazy idea to see what red oxide primer would look like clear-coated. So, I applied a base of ROP and polished that. Then, in an early experiment with flames, I made a masking tape mask, and applied a fade from white-hot to gold to silver, with a yellow fog on the front bumper and valance below. The whole thing was cleared with Pearl Clear. Two comments on the finish: (1) I've never been satisfied with the front bumper. It sucks. I tried stripping it and chroming it, and that just doesn't look right, either. I may just give in and paint it white or satin black. (2) The pearl-over-primer turned out kind of a custom brick color. Not very flashy and this model gets over-looked all the time. I won't do this kind of finish again. But, it was interesting. Oh, yeah. Don't overlook the blue dots! Those were tiny craft store gems added to the stock taillights. I thought they turned out cool, but they're easily missed because they're sooo tiny. Made the license plate on the ole computater. Check it out!
  9. Nice. He'll love it.
  10. Yikes! That is one ugly, nasty carpy waste of resin! Wow, David, you'll be a true craftsman to carve a decent looking model out of THAT!
  11. OMG! That is the most disgusting misuse of a 'Vette in years! Owner could lose about 1,000 pounds of dead weight by removing all the stick-on chrome carp, and then could lose another 700 pounds by removing all the "700 HP" chrome stick-on carp! That poor car has more stick-on chrome garbage than J.C. Whitney could/would ever have imagined for a modern sports car. Owner asking $20,000? Owner should have to pay $20,000 for garbage removal, the end result might be an average, ordinary Corvette. Thanks a lot, Greg! I can't unsee this nightmare. [insert gagging emoticon here.]
  12. Superb!
  13. Great paint.
  14. I don't think it will go as high as $10 million. The celebrity car market seems to have gone soft.
  15. Sweet!
  16. Outstanding!!!
  17. Very nice!
  18. Excellent.
  19. It's okay. (Feel better, now?) it's actually nice, you know.
  20. Is resurrecting an eight-year-old thread a record?
