  1. Looks killer!!
  2. Great looking 'Stang! Beautiful black paint job!
  3. Very nice! Great color!
  4. Great build! Nice looking paint job!
  5. That turned out real nice, Mike! The paint and clear combination looks excellent! Nicely done all around!!
  6. Nice looking Chevelle!
  7. Thanks all! I can attest that it looks better in the pics than in person, lol.
  8. That is something about that color! Mine is as orange as can be, lol. Awesome Thunderbolt as well!!
  9. Very well done! Looks great in every way! I'm a little surprised the TS-12 on yours actually looks more red than orange, in fact it looks almost spot-on for Calypso Coral, at least in your pics. I used that same color on a '69 Camaro and it is very much orange on mine.
  10. Very nice!!
  11. That looks real good! Well done!
  12. Here's the Revell Greased Lightning 1948 Ford convertible. Nothing really special here, just a box stock--box art build. I don't build very many oldies, but I decided I needed to change things up a little from my usual 60's and 70's Muscle Cars, and it's one of my wife's favorite movies so onto the bench it went. The paint is Rustoleum Gloss White, wet sanded and polished with no clear. The chassis and interior are Rustoleum Satin Canyon Black, and the trim is done with BMF. This was a really nice kit and was supposed to be a fun little build. Unfortunately, it fought me at every step and nothing seemed to go right. It's like it was cursed or something, lol. I even managed to get the clock and speedo gauges reversed, and right after I finished the decals, I knocked a container that had a few alligator clips off a shelf and one landed on the hood and took off a piece of the decal. Anyways, it's done and the wife thinks it's cool so that's all that matters, lol. Thanks for looking!
  13. Nice color choice, and the craft paints are actually pretty nice to work with once you get the hang of them.
  14. Looks good and that is a sharp color!
  15. Now that's funny!! At least this one is 70's cool! And I as well have always liked the Corvette Summer rendition. It looks better in the movie than it does in any pics. Although actual line of sight while driving is probably pretty iffy, LOL.
  16. The Molotow needs to go on fairly heavy for best results, and like everyone says, needs a lot of time to dry unless a de-hydrator is involved. It can be sprayed over pretty much any clean, smooth surface with no problems straight from the pen/refill into the airbrush cup. Barbatos Rex on youtube has a video on the stuff and lots of other tests on paint/primer in videos, very good and informative channel. I did these rims, although I ended up not using them after bending one while putting it on the tire, for a project. I could've/should've laid down another coat, but the results are pretty good otherwise. The first rim was over bare plastic/resin, the other four over gray primer.
  17. Looks good, and a great color choice!
  18. Great job on all! What a fantastic looking set!
  19. Very sharp and well done! Your foil work is exceptional!
  20. Thanks Joe! It really is a pretty nice kit overall and has some pretty good details. If you do build it any time soon, the only issue I came across was this heads-up from Gerald Goff which helped immensely.....A word of advice if you haven't built one of these kits before, final assembly will go much smoother if you remove the flange from the bottom of the front windshield. It doesn't allow the interior to go up into the body far enough which in turn doesn't allow the body to fit all the way down over the chassis. You may even have to grind a little off the front of the dash as well.
  21. Thanks guys!
