Great start! I hope to start on mine soon.

Hello, Moving along at iceberg pace. Main body decals pretty much done. Next step: Clearcoat. Hood and roof flat black decals to be added later. Thanks,

Love it!

Really nice!

Hello friends, I spotted my dream car at a local car show. Spent some time with the owner who graciously allowed me to photograph and sit on it. Very cool guy and we ended up talking for a long time. This has to be my all time favorite road car. Right car, right year, right color, right engine, right tranny. He has owned the car for over 40 years and he is amazed at the value it has acquired, in the six figures already. We agreed he would be the first one to know if I hit the Powerball. I put the pictures in a short video. Notice my stupid smile at about 25 seconds into the video ? https://youtu.be/-scQ8yTeU7M Thanks,

That came out GREAT! Never thought the terms "Volvo 240" and "super-cool" would go together. Really like it! By the way, those tail lights really stand out. Some of the best looking tail lights I've seen in a long time.

YEEEEE HAWWWWWW!!!!!! Now I have the theme song stuck in my head. "Just the good old boys......" Nice model. Thanks for preserving history by not touching your first one.

Hi Jeff, For this I used automotive glazing putty from the local Auto Zone. I usually use either that or superfine Milliput for bigger areas. Hope this helps! Thanks,

Hello, I've always considered each sub-assembly as a model itself. Well, I'll just forget about the rest of the car and display these by themselves... Sanded tires, detailed brakes, drybrushed molded center nut. Applied Future to the sidewall before applying the decals, then sealed with dullcoat. Hand lettering as per 1:1. Hard to see but I added valve stems as well. What do you think? Thanks,

Congratulations on a beautiful job! I need to get going on mine.

Very nice! Love the wet road course setup.

Looking good!

This is so sick and disturbing I am... I am... I am... I am LOVING IT! Looking great! Very nice indeed!

Hello, Black lacquer always looks good..... Thanks,

Looking good. Now I want to get that kit. Blue body with tan interior has always been my favorite color combo.

By any chance, was that urethane based clear? Has it been sitting for a long time? I've heard that type of clear has a relatively short shelf life. I wonder if that could have been a factor. Now I'm a little concerned about my Gravity Clear as it has been sitting for almost a year. Thanks,

Looking gorgeous!

Looking really good! Love it!

This is very interesting! I like how this is going.

Looking good!

Hello, Last yellow parts painted. Started painting the rear mounted cooling fan, new 2016-spec front splitter and rocker panels. Thanks,

Hello, Working on the last body mods that will eventually be body color: Pitot tubes and dive planes. Minor touch up and will be ready for color. Can't wait to finish this. It's been a stubborn one. But still quite far from the finish line. Thanks,

Looking good so far. You addressed the stance which is one of the biggest issues I have seen in this kit. I suppose it will be red based on the engine compartment, right? My only comment so far is that the seats look very shiny. Maybe dull it a little if possible. Thanks?

Hello, I have been away for a while. Just very busy with work and life in general. Very little progress on this but at least a step in the right direction. Masked and airbrushed the black roof and hood areas. the roof came out perfect but the hood required a tiny touch up. I just airbrushed it a few minutes ago. The black Cobra Colors lacquer lays so smooth it is tempting me to do a black car....... Thanks,

The concept, the design and the execution are top notch. But the weathering takes it beyond mere mortals realm... Translation: WOW!
