That looks great. I'm working on a Demolition Man pinball machine right now, I should build one of those as a topper. Note the much smaller 442 and GM Ultralite cop car on the left side of the playfield.
-
Monogram/Revell really should have made the power brake booster and the master cylinder as separate parts, like they did with later GM offerings.
-
Gold and that green are the perfect colors for a California Special. Are you going to foil-cast the rear quarter reflectors?
-
I gotta say, usually I'm not one for weathered engines, but those dirty chrome valve covers look exactly like they should after years of oil, grease, fingerprints, dust, and dirt on them. Nice work.

71 Olds 442 W30 (replica of my brother in law’s car)

Those seats look like the perfect amount of gloss to simulate vinyl. Whose semi-gloss black is that? -
Replica of my 1970 Superbird Tribute car
ubermodel replied to Superbird McMonte's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Hey Dom, congrats on the tribute car! And great idea on that ride height jig. I hear you're the LIARS Grand Poobah these days? -
If the rest of the paint wasn't affected similarly, I've got three words for you - retroactive vinyl top.
-
That top looks really good. Captures the "skin over frame" look very realistically.
-
Very, very cool. I really like the way the rainbow colors on the dragster match the colors on the hauler when it's loaded up.

Holy carp this is exciting news! I haven't picked up a new release in years but have always kept an eye open for a new tool of a 70 Cougar Eliminator, 71-73 Cougar, 71-73 Mustang, and 68/69 or 70/71 Cyclone Spoiler. Prayers answered!
-
Stunning model. That engine really looks like the real thing. Well done.

1977 Olds Cutlass from 3D print from Too Many Projects

What's the method you use to shape the new windows? Do you used a vacuform machine to pull the glass over the mold, or just heat it with a hot air gun and pull down by hand? -
Unless Revell has fixed the mold, which I doubt, you'll find that the passenger side quarter panel extension doesn't come to the same pronounced (and correct) point right above the end of the bumper as the driver's side does, and could use a little extra plastic and reshaping.
-
That's a really nice satin black, what did you use for that?
