Thanks guys!

Nice looking Charger!

Looks great, excellent paint work!

Looks excellent!! I did mine in the same color, I think it's the best looking of the factory color choices for the Boss 302.

Looks great, well done!

Thanks Jim! Thanks Carl!

Nice looking old Coupe!

Good looking Porsche!

Very nice looking Mustang!

A very nice looking Porsche! She did an excellent job!

Thanks for the great compliments everyone!

This one is in the books, and is in Under Glass. Thanks to everyone for following along and for all of the great comments!

I finished the '29 Model A Roadster this morning and was able to get some outdoor pics as well. What a great kit and an absolute blast to build. A couple of firsts for me on this one were opening and hinging the trunk, and using flame masks for the flames. The color is a custom blend of craft paints, the flames are Createx Pearl Silver, Anita's Galvanized Tin, and Decoart Obsidian and were done using flame masks. I cleared it all with Createx UVLS 4050 Gloss that got the wet-sand, polish, and wax treatment. The interior is Apple Barrel White and Apple Barrel Admiral Blue. I used Tamiya Clear Blue on the shifter knob, and white embossing powder painted in the Admiral Blue for the carpet. I wired the engine and added a MAD Modeling Accel Coil for extra details. I also cut 2 pieces of 1/8 styrene tubing and sprayed Molotow Chrome on them for the exhaust tips. I made a few mistakes with the flames and masks, but overall I'm extremely happy with how this one turned out and hope to do a few more. Thanks for looking!!

I pulled out the micro mesh polishing pads and gave it a wet-sand today. I started with 6000, then 8000, and 12000, followed by Novus #2 polish and a coat of Meguiar's Cleaner Wax. It's moving right along now and only needs a few finishing touches to complete.

Yeah, my mind's running on how I can use those kinds of things in a model car kind of way. I think they might be a little big even to use as a megaphone exhaust tip, but I think I might try. My goal for painting them different colors is to drill holes through them and run a chain, or cord to look like rope through them, to surround a car for a "car show" type of diorama.

Looks great! Those colors are excellent together!

I applied the tiny decals onto the tiny gauge cluster and used the eyeball decal for the horn button. I also noticed that because I wired the distributor the firewall didn't sit quite right. I ended up grinding a little bit off to get a proper fit. The inside of the firewall looks kind of ugly now, but it won't be seen so no big deal to me. For a little side job for myself, I primed and painted some of my diabetic needle covers to look like decorative obstruction cones for a possible display idea. I should have been saving them over these past couple of years as I will be painting more in different colors, but I can save about 8 per month, so every month I will be painting some in a different color.

I actually would have used them, but I don't have any correct width pins or extra metal axles to cut down to use with them. Unfortunately it's also not in the budget to go get some aluminum or brass rod either. First chance I get though, I'm definitely going to pick some up, lol.

Well done! My understanding is that those are pretty underwhelming kits, but yours looks pretty good!

Very cool and very nice!

I got some work done on the rest of the Revell '29 Model A Roadster while the clear cures. The engine is done and installed, I finished the front and rear suspensions, and I put on the wheels/tires. I had contemplated a set of Pegasus wheels for it (first 2 pics), but ultimately stuck with the kit rolling stock. Somehow, sanding the tire tread eluded my mind, and with the difficulty I had getting them on, they'll stay "showroom new", lol.

Me too. There is definitely a learning curve, but once you get them down they work very well. I have used the Tangerine, Silver, Plum, Turquoise, and Magenta Pearls so far.

Looks great! Tamiya Maroon is a really nice color.

Very nice! That's a sharp looking blue, I'll have to get some soon.

Nicely done!
