A real beauty! What color did you put on the Shaker scoop? It looks great!

Very well done!!

where good people

I painted this Mercury with Duplicolor primer, two different colors of Tamiya spray can paint, and TESTORS Wet Look Clear: The odd thing about this build....the clear was smooth as glass on the green, but came out grainy on the blue....even tho I sprayed the clear over both colors at the same time. Wet sanding got it to this point. Not perfect, but it's in my display case!! LOL If you have a natural break point between colors, such as the chrome trim shown on this Mercury, careful masking gives you a choice of which color to shoot first. I was able to not overlap the colors on this build. Time will tell if the clear cracks, but for now, it looks very good. There are about three coats of clear on this build.

Great happening! Surely, the buyer was happy with it, or he might not have done the deal!

Great box art build! Looks even better than the box art!

This particular one seems to be a fridge magnet: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1970-Plymouth-Sport-Fury-GT-Refrigerator-Magnet-40-MIL-/181662200089

I also use Duplicolor primers, and it works well for me. I have a couple cans of Plastikote primer, as well. It doesn't seem to be much different from Duplicolor primer.

One of my cousins had a '72 Fury that looked exactly like this one: I really liked that car. I was 17 at the time, and loved driving that barge!!

The more I look at it, the more I like it!

Heartbreaking sight!! Such a mindless thing to do to someone's handy work.

On that note, I have bought and sold 1:1 cars for much less than $1100!! And they were good cars, too. My first brand new car cost only $2700!!

I noticed the buyer on the Coronet only had 10 feedback points. It's a 'wait-and-see' about whether he pays up. Another idea could be that the guy has a 1:1 '68 Coronet in his heated garage, and wanted a pristine kit to display with it at the local car show. I have a 1:1 Imperial Crown convertible, previously owned by Sally Anne Howse, of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang fame. I have watched for a nice, unbuilt kit of the flying car from the movie since 1998, but I still wouldn't pay $1100 for it! LOL

I like it better than a 240Z, and better than a Corvette!

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

As Damien Blade in "Wild Hogs". Live free, and ride hard.

Looking mighty fine, Steve!!

That's a nice van! Two birds with one stone....COKE and LEVIS.

It has nice body lines.

Very cool build! The paintjob just suits that body so well! I currently have one of these on the bench. Granted, it is the pre-painted red one, but it seems to be a very well engineered kit.

Very nice job on the Camaro!

I must say......ALL THE ABOVE!!!! Fantastic custom....and the racing truck is on the same level!!

Nice work! Good color on this one.

It should be a no-brainer, what with all the re-issues of the other year model Rivieras, down thru the years.

Maybe I got this one!
