Impressive weathering! But did it just get a new engine? 😉

I'm staying tuned to this one! I built the Lamborghini Silhouette by (Gunze - Sangyo) Testors a couple years ago, so of course I have to see how your project comes along. Would you tackle the 1964 350 GT next? Please? 😉

Shocking! 🤪 Looking great, loving the straight 6 with trumpets.

This just makes me feel older. I had an '87 Civic, this is the next generation, and it has a Historic Vehicle plate! That's just wrong man! 🙄 Snapped this close to where I turn off this highway, temporary plate. Does anyone have a median that is this huge?

Sorry I'm a little delayed on a reply. 😜 Knowing licensing brand names makes models more expensive, I bet Revell decided to change the grill. I recently saw a video of one being driven around a European car show, kidney grill. I have painted some model rockets with the 'Alclad' gold for Lexan bodies, on the outside not inside. It sure doesn't take much to get the effect.

Bumpity bumping this ancient thread because I'm curious (and was looking for something else in my manage list), has there been a new tool kit released?

I accidentally created that look, but it's probably lame idea for this application. I tried window tint film on the back window of my '69 Chevy C-10, had some bubbling which annoyed me.

I wouldn't want one, but I sure appreciate the execution on this! Looks like there is a pearl in that paint. So is this a million dollar car? Still cheaper than a new $4.5M Aston Valkyrie convertible.

A favorite of mine too! Awesome job, going to bookmark this thread for reference. 😊

I built that kit last century, made the Out To Pasture diorama with it. It's an awful kit. I see Gerry posted an awesome review. I still have the Protar and Fujimi kit in my stash. I built the Italeri kit with some customization. The tires are the worst part, wish Fujimi would sell just their Pirelli tires. I had the Gunze kit without the engine, which I got a 3D printed engine, correct seats, but sold it at Desert Scale last year.

I finished another model! 👀😳🎉 This time I did a much better job with the chrome 'AK Interactive' paint. I used 'Rustoleum' gloss black for the base, which worked great! This is the second rocket based on the food can, with a better design "fin" structure. The business end. The first one had a cool swooshing sound during launch. I missed going to an official launch this month outside of Kingman at a dry lakebed, will endeavor to make the next one. We are so dry that I don't dare launch at all. Wondering if there is a Garbage class for this. 🤔

Appreciate your comment very much. That's what I like about forums such as this. Yes Russell and I are friends, and I love taunting him about a few things, keeps the blood flowing you know.

Awesome! First thing to check are the tires for dry rot. Yea prices are stupid for this kit. I'm stalled because I need to scratch a front suspension that looks somewhat realistic. In other words, I painted myself into a corner.

Thank you! Just in a slump, not the first time. It's just a pet peeve of mine, how the mold always has that offset ridge diagonal to the coil spring, and cleaning it up is such a pain, that it loses the fun, and that's why I have Shelf Of Doom projects going for years. Oh yea, me hand painting them, like eyes on figures. 👀

I'm extremely biased because I own one! 😄 I was born 7 years before this rolled off the line, I crack up thinking it's a "classic", anything before 1960 is a classic to me. There is a car lot in Prescott that sells old vehicles, for more than they're worth, so I'm safe. This is a Ford I could dig having. But I still like the Advanced Design pickups. I had a '48 5 Window last century, which I never was able to fix up, the guy who sold it sent pictures after he was done, and I suspect this is it! Saw it at Valle (south of Grand Canyon). I like Studebakers, and the Dodge Sweptside too. But who knows, I might see something that will make me loose my mind, again. 😅 Like a '55 Chevy Cameo, blew getting one before the '48.

🤔 I haven't worked on a car model since the last ever GSL, all the ones in the WIP section won't qualify. But since I'm still a model addict, and there are two Porsches in that photo, I could do the Fujimi Porsche 911R Coupe '67 kit that I got last year, so this should get me to bust the slump. Also have the Tamiya Jagermeister Type 934 if I don't get in gear by summer. Won't be official until I clean the bench, finish some honey-do projects around the house, who knows what else, and take pictures.

Love the concept and execution! I spy a Porsche whaletail, and cigarette package foil (?). I also like the third photo with ghosted lid, beyond my ability.

snatching eggs for

I just stumbled upon this WIP. 😳 Reminds me of Gerald Wingrove, and David Cummins who I knew. Love that design!

I owned a '69, and now a '68 Chevy C-10, and I never knew about the GMC differences!
