  1. I got my next project in the mail today ? with a lot of help I would like do some major detailing on this one. I am first going to finish the Ferrari ? stay tuned!!
  2. Got some color on this weekend, constructed the front nose and rear wing. The rear wing was the tuffest part to build to date... sure glad it’s done. I am debating on putting on the decals and then clear over. I have never done this before. I am a little nervous!
  3. Well I kind of chose this kit because of the detail... but more details cost more. I am enjoying the process. I have had my frustrations as well, but I am learning a lot and having fun keeping my mind occupied.
  4. Thank you for taking the time in checking out my build. i myself have not done anything this detailed. i used to do models wile I was growing up in the 70’s....I forgot how satisfying it is to create something. I am a big fan of F1 and sports car racing. Still a big fan of the NHRA. I do wish the model manufacturers would still produce larger kits.. my fat fingers would appreciate it. cheers Chris
  5. I am hoping to show all my recent progress. Got some quality bench time...and the wife reminded me of that
  6. I got my paint order in today!!! looks like rain this weekend ?
  7. Looks cool, I like it!
  8. I think what you are doing is really cool, I myself would not take on such a ambitious project without some sort of help. Keep at it when you can.. I can’t wait for a new update! Chris
  9. Well, I accomplished what I wanted today. Feeling good about this. Now I am waiting for some paint to arrive from gravity colors to hopefully make a big step in this build.
  10. Thanks for the support! It’s greatly appreciated.
  11. Thanks!! looking forward on your progress
  12. Good luck with your build...looking forward to see how things come together!
  13. I am going to also try to get some black base coat on these parts for some alclad aluminum...
  14. Hello, it’s me again...lol. I was kind of stuck at home yesterday having a new alarm system installed. So I decided to put in a little work on the Ferrari? Going to try to get some primer on the body pieces today.
  15. Amazing detail...keep plugging away, looks awesome!
  16. I guess I am the latest person to be aggravated by this company, its real frustrating when you work real hard on a project and you want to move forward..... Then you get stalled or stopped in your tracks waiting for an item that will complete your project.
  17. The seat and instrument cluster is painted with semi gloss black. The dash is Alclad aluminum. The seat belts and hardware came with the kit. I am happy with the results, making progress... i do wish more people would chime in... I do feel like I am talking to myself
  18. So I spent my Sunday working on a few things. I spent most of the time painting shock bodies and drivers seat and dash. the shocks are painted with Alclad chrome. I do like working with this paint, it flows nice.
  19. Why is it. When you finally get motivated to make progress. The temperature drops to 38. Welcome to California......
