Well done!

I'm diggin' the color choice on this nice looking Charger!

I definitely agree on those points. I do have to admit that on a couple of my more customized builds some things really wouldn't go over in real life. Tire rubs for starters, like on this one and the rear suspension really isn't very well structured. I try to point these things out in my videos, usually with the phrase "It's not really very purposeful in the real world, but in Styreneland if it fits it's good enough for me", lol.

Thanks Michael! You really do notice the details, lol. The bumpers had to be sprayed over with Molotow Chrome to cover where the mold lines were on the sides of them. The actual car that this was kind of copied from had the orange in the trim and I thought it really set it off. Here's a couple of pics of the car.

Thanks Bill! Yeah, I thought that was kind of funny when I got them, lol.

Thanks guys!

Thanks everyone, much appreciated!

Here's my version of the AMT 1955 Chevy Bel Air. It's painted in a two-tone brown using custom mixed craft paints and cleared with Createx UVLS 4050 Gloss. The interior is also custom mixed craft paints and I used embossing powder for carpet. I used numerous aftermarket parts on this on requiring lots of modifications. The parts include an Iceman Collections 572 ci big block, Jay's Resin Wheels (eBay) wheels and tires, Lex's Scale Modeling (eBay) Hood, Kamikaze 3D (eBay) floor shifter, and a lazyspectator (eBay) Accel Coil. Additional parts include the rear end and suspension from an AMT NASCAR kit, scratch made mufflers, and the rest of the exhaust using 1/8" aluminum tubing. The wheels were airbrushed using Molotow Chrome, and the trim is Bare Metal Foil. This one was lots of fun, and as mentioned, required lots of modifications for everything to fit. As always, thanks for looking.

Looks good! That would be my idea for this kit if I were to obtain one, build it in a different color as a "non Black Beauty".

Very well done! I have this kit, but after building the Mercedes SSK a bit ago, I'm very hesitant to tackle this one, lol.

Very nice!

Very nice!

Very nice!

Looks great!

Pearl Plum. It is a great color!

Thanks! I started on a single action, but for the last few years have used strictly dual action.

My Hobbylinc and Amazon orders arrived last week. They were all supposed to be from Hobbylinc, but the Revell '66 GTO was out of stock upon picking my order. I ended up having to get it at Amazon for a couple of bucks more since that one was the main topic of my purchase in the first place, lol. The two GTO's were my top priorities, and I'm very psyched about my first Tamiya kit!

Thanks Mike! The T-bird is their Pearl Magenta.

Well done! Great color choice!

Looks real good!

Very nice!

Beautiful looking '57!! Excellent paint/flame job and colors! I love the Lazy Modeller masks, they're so nice to use!

Looks great in red!

I love using Createx paints. There is a bit of a learning curve to get the right consistency for your particular airbrush, but once you're there it flows and dries very nicely. I do recommend using their products for mixing and thinning for better results, at least at first. Lots of great info on their website. As the others have said, definitely use a primer underneath. Using different base colors (metallic silver, metallic gray, and metallic black) will also slightly change the hue of the pearls and metallics. The Viper is a mix of Pearl Lime and Pearl Green, the others are straight colors.

Very nice looking Buick! Love the color!
