  1. Cool looking Falcon! Nice job!
  2. Thanks John! A friend of mine has a 1:1 that he did in the Camaro Synergy Green. He's owned and restored several Skylark/GS/GSX in several colors for himself and others.
  3. Thanks Jim! Thanks David! Thanks Craig! Thanks Jeffery! Thanks Robert! Thanks Gene!
  4. Thank you Steven and Roger! I agree, it definitely just looks right.
  5. Thanks Rob! Thanks John! Thank you Larry! Thanks Keith! Thank you Kevin!
  6. Finished my first build of 2020. Monogram 1970 Buick GSX 1/24 scale. Color is Tamiya TS-42 Light Gunmetal cleared with Tamiya TS-13 clear. Interior is Rustoleum 2X Satin Canyon Black and the woodgrain is done with Apple Barrel Nutmeg Brown over Khaki craft paint. The engine and transmission were done in craft paint also, as was the exhaust. I added spark plug wires/boots and Fireball Modelworks Radial T/A decals for the tires and printed my own license plate. I also raised the rear 1/4" (6 inches in 1:1) because it sits too low as kitted. I built one of these some 30+ years ago and did it in the factory yellow, so this time I wanted to do it a little different. I'm glad I did because I think it looks really good with the red and black stripe package. Thanks for looking!
  7. I'm not normally drawn to this type of race car, but this one looks too good to pass up.
  8. This one is gorgeous! You never cease to amaze with your spotless builds!
  9. Awesome gaggle of Vettes!! The cut-aways are outstanding!
  10. Beautiful job on a beautiful paint scheme!
  11. I can see the El Camino being a hot commodity, I'll certainly pick one up and maybe a '29 Roadster. The Rubicon and Luv don't interest me, but it seems like a lot of others are interested in them, so those I'm sure will sell very well. Hopefully there's more than just that handful, but I still haven't gotten any '68 Chevelles, '69 Boss 302's, '70 Cudas, '70 Firebirds, Grand Nationals, or Monte Carlo's yet so I already have a ton of catching up to do.
  12. Looks great! Really nice clean build, and I really like the color.I agree on the wheels and ride height It would have been nice to have factory wheels and tires included in the kit, but I'm seeing the Foose kits are pretty much just dedicated kits with little extra parts. I did really enjoy building mine two years ago and everything really fit well, which was key as it was only my second build after a 20+ year absence for me in this hobby.
  13. I didn't know Rustoleum 2X primer was enamel. Back in August I primed 8 projects with the Flat White, Flat Gray, and Flat Black 2X primer and a couple of weeks later using the spray cans, sprayed Tamiya on 2 and Testors Extreme Lacquer and Model Master Lacquer on the other two with no problems at all. So unless they make 2X in enamel and lacquer and I used lacquer, there should be no problem. An example of one of the cans I used The cars I painted over the 2X primer with
  14. Nice job! And nice out of the box thinking, it looks sharp.
  15. Your fabrication skills and craftmanship is outstanding. Can't wait to see more!
  16. This is without a doubt the most incredibly realistic replica that I have seen. The details and machine work on something of this scale is truly amazing. You win model building!!! P.S. This should also be in Under Glass, as I don't know how many folks don't look under this category. I myself only look here every great once in a while. This deserves to be seen by as many eyes as possible.
  17. Outstanding work! And your details are amazing! Nice subtle changes to the backdrop also.
  18. Very sharp and very well done! I love these types of fantasy builds!
