  6. I think they are a good start, although they kind of blend together causing some kind of confusion with my to my eye's. maybe two different colors like orange and yellow would help?IMHO
  7. This is one nice setup
  8. I see some mistakes, but I also see some decent work for a first time build at this level. I would suggest that you teardown this model again, or start fresh and build the model with a little more patience and care. treat each part as an individual model and try to get that part as perfect as you can, work with clean hands, and when you paint use care to keep the model as clean as possible, also use the same paint type the same brand. if you use Enamel Or Laquer always stick with one (dont mix). Get a large cardboard box to spray your model as kind of a paint booth, if you paint outside, as most us do it will help keep the dust off while drying. Gabriel
  9. Model Car Garage makes a set. I would be careful the last set ,I bought a set from him it had only had one side. outside door handle I e-mailed MCG and was provided a supplement opposite door handle for my model. my best advice would be not to sand off the door handles and you will be fine. Gabriel

  20. Model Car Garage has a PE set of hinges that are just sweet to work with the only problem is they are all one size a original looking 32 ford has a longer hinge on the bottom Jairus illustrated and Greg had the Article in MCM that showed how to scratchbuild some out of brass strip & wire they were not extremely hard to do but I am sure it could take a few tries before you get them to line up right
  21. It looks very good Lyle On picture #3 the Boot looks a little ill fitting in that picture. Does that boot come with the model? do you get the top too? Gabriel
  22. I have met darryl at our Local model contests when he was Photographing model's for the magazine my sympathy goes out to his family at this difficult time. Gabriel.
  23. Im 44 and have been modeling since I was about 7/8, my parents did'nt mind my hobby until I spilled a bottle of chrome silver on the carpet. my wife is another story, See I have about 300 kits and she wants me to build all of them, without collecting anymore before I Die. Gabriel.
