  1. Beautiful looking Olds!
  2. Good looking Z!
  3. Nice patina look!
  4. Nice work! That's a great looking paint scheme!
  5. I built this one in October of last year. Not specifically an Ala Kart kit, but all the pieces to make one save for the nose piece.
  6. Nice job! Looks pretty good with the roof on it.
  7. Nice looking Vega and Gremlin!
  8. I like the colors, nicely done! Nice use of the extra Stooges decals on this one and the Merc!
  9. Nice and cool looking build!
  10. Very nice, I like the color! Always thought those were cool looking cars.
  11. That's a good looking Impala!
  12. Looking mighty fine! Those blackwalls look much better than the whitewalls. I have that kit as well, but I don't know which direction to take it, or what colors if done as a civilian car. One of these days I'll figure it out, lol.
  13. Thanks guys!! Thanks Tom, I just love mixing colors to try to get close to a factory color. Sometimes when mixing, I look at the stash and one just begs to be painted that color, it's a pretty cool feeling when that happens, lol. Thanks Lee. I didn't do it on my first build of this kit, but just had to on this one, lol. Thank you David, I usually try to point things out that might not normally catch one's eye as I like to be made aware when viewing others' builds. Thanks Trevor! Yes, I do often use my own custom mixed paints, but I think Tamiya makes a spray can color pretty close to this one, I believe it's TS-21 but I could be wrong. Thanks Mike! Best I can say is give it 4-5 days to fully cure then lightly wet-sand it starting at about 6000 grit to 12000 grit. More like a damp sand because the water could still soften the clear a bit even after 4-5 days if left pooled too long. Then a Novus #2 polish followed by a coat of wax. A lot of work, but well worth it. They have a new 4053 High Gloss that looks much glossier upon application, but I haven't bought any yet.
