That's a great looking modern ride! Love the wheels as well.

Nice job! Looking forward to see it finished.

FWIW: I vote for modern hi tech :wink:

That's the right name: Qinceañera I said weet 15 thinking some would not know what the heck I was talking about :wink:

Hello, Was I dreaming or did somebody here fixes cameras? I have an older Pentax 35mm camera that needs a tune up and I can't find the post about it. Yes, I still use 35mm for my so called pro jobs like weddings, sweet 15s (yes, 15 not 16. that's a latin thing) etc. I'm in the market for a pro digital SLR but in the meantime, these do the job. Thanks,

Hey Mark, Admit it: You want to convert it into a 7. You know you do Looking forward to see it progressing into another masterpiece! Thanks,

Cool racer Andy! Let's go but remember, I'm street legal on street tires, so give me a little room on the tight corners We can do the MCMFPAC: Model Cars Mag Forum Porsche Abusers Club

David, While there is no technical limit as to how many pictures you can post, please remember that if somebody opens a post and it takes forever to load, the viewer will most likely loose interest and close it. Use your judgement and common sense. I think more than 10 are too much. It also depends on the size of the pics. It is also a courtesy to fellow members with slower connections. Thanks,

Very cool! Looks great! Let's race! Just give me a second to put the last tire on....

Half of the interior work is done. I now need to work on the dash, shifter, steering wheel, pedals etc. I still need to dust off some flocking material from the seats. The cargo net shows some weird reflections, but it looks better than in the pic. Thanks,

Welcome to our world! The overcomplicaditis world! There is no cure so accepting it is the first step.

Nice builds! Welcome to the forum!

Thanks guys! Russ, the heat shield is a piece of heavy aluminum foil. Trimmed to shape and then pressed over mesh material so the pattern gets embossed. A drop of superglue keeps it in place. Other than that and the parts box oil filter decal, the rest is 100% box stock. Currently working on the interiors. I'll post pics soon. Thanks,

Looking good Russ! All of that work will certainly pay off at the end.

I got it! How about push button electrically operated door releases like the new Corvette?

Darin, I assume you want something modern. How about the master cylinder of a Revell C5/C6 Corvette? It has good detail and can be plumbed. As for the mirrors, my suggestion is: Testarossa! I always loved the look of those mirrors. Another choice is motorcycle (sportbikes) mirrors. That was popular here with the tuner crowd a while ago for smaller mirrors. For my custom C5, I used 1/32 scale mirrors. I think they were from a Trans Am or Camaro. They look just right in a custom. As for the interior door handles, hmmmm I need to get back to you on that one.......... Hope this helps! Thanks,

This is from the supercars.net website. I like these pictures, so I thought of sharing them with you. Can you say money? MONEY, MONEY, MONEY, IT'S ONLY MONEY......... Check this link for dozens of pictures on this meeting. http://www.supercars.net/gallery/119513/1318/1.html Here are a few examples: BIG pictures OUCH!!!!!

LLLLLLLLLLLLLove it!!! Thanks,

That would be one heck of a box

Simon told me about it over the phone. Looking forward to it! I want to plan to attend the next GSL. Thanks,

The body was cleared and it is taking a nap of at least 2 or 3 weeks before polishing. After that I started working on the underside of the car. These cars have panels covering the bottom, so they are pretty much all black. But if those panels are removed, you can see some overspray from the painting process. I painted this model as if some panels were removed. I also added heat insulation over the mufflers. Now it is on to brakes, followed by interiors Still a long way to go, but slowly getting there... What do you think? Thanks,

That's it! I'm officially jealous. When is the next one? I want to go. Besides, I didn't see any Corvettes so I have a cause to defend.... Congratulations to my buddy Simon for winning the small scale with the Ferrari 312T. But I' not surprised :wink: Nor I'm surprised at Mark Jones blue Seven winning best of show. Congratulations to all! Thanks,

I was thinking about the idea of cutting the individual letters and mosaic the word. But I think the letters themselves are too big.

Len, Keith Marks has a decal sheet for early Corvettes and it includes among other things the lettering that I think can be used for that. (under the headlight grilles). This could be a starting point. Thanks,

Hello, After 2 weeks of rain, I finally got a chance to apply clear to this project. WOW! I can't believe it but this thing has 20 coats on it!!!!! (Of course there was a lot of sanding on some of them) and each one of them was a gloves-off "in your face" open challenge to the red plastic bleeding gremlins 2 coats of T235 primer 2 coats of moon mud primer 8 color coats 8 coats of clear It will have plenty of time to dry before polishing. I'll work now on the chassis, interiors and everything else, which is usually a few weeks. Then I'll polish it before final assembly. Thanks,
