Well done on all three, but that Snakeskin Viper is something else!! Very cool!!

Very nice job on what I've heard is a rough kit. Looks good in Gold!

Looks great and the stance is spot-on!! About 100 times better than the box art, in fact it has me kind of seriously considering picking up one or two now, as the box art had me scared off, lol.

looks great! Nice paint!

LOL, that's what I figured. I am probably still going to try it during the summer when I can paint in the shed, as it would be a cost-effective alternative to the smaller cans of Tamiya and Testors.

I've been thinking that same thing, unfortunately the Convertible kit is nearing un-obtanium status and prices anymore. Missing Link Resin used to make the hardtop body, but by the time I finally decided to pick one up he no longer makes them☹️☹️. I snoozed, and I lost?, lol.

Looks great, and what a nice, smooth paint job! You're right, that is a great kit.

Looks good! It's unfortunate that the Johan mold of this car was apparently lost forever as I would love the chance to build one. Better yet, a hardtop version of the Revell '72 Indy Pace Car so I can replicate my first car.

Thanks Tom! Thanks Eric! Thank you Dennis! Thanks Cliff! Thanks Monty, my first two paint jobs I did three years ago after 20 years away from the hobby were enamel, then I tried lacquer and was sold on lacquers after that. I got an airbrush in hopes of following Donn Yost's painting methods, but I can not paint with lacquers and enamels in the house, so the craft paint method was researched and tried. I still use the lacquer spray cans in my shed in the warmer months, but it's great to be able to also lay down a decent craft paint job in the house during the winter months. Thanks Roger! I have another one that I was thinking of doing something similar to your plans with. Thank you Mike! They're just so easy to work with in my opinion, and such easy clean-up, and no smell, lol. I have to ask about the smell on the Rustoleum Lacquer Clear, as I've seen others have good success with it. I can't spray anything solvent based in the house due to the family having sensitivities to the smell.

Well done Bill, that looks fantastic, and I love the color!! Even if I had the time to put forth on such a project, I don't think I could drop that kind of coin on such an intricate and detailed kit at my current skill level, if ever, lol. Let alone having the space to display it, which is the main reason every time I think about wishing for re-releases of Monogram's 1/8 scale styrene kits, the thought leaves my mind as quickly as it entered it. With you mentioning it a few times, I have become very curious as to the finished weight of that beast, though.

Nice, clean and tight looking build and a really nice paint job!

Thanks guys! Yes, the decals can get tricky around the wheel wells and around the front end, especially to match up with the upper side stripes.

My first accomplishment for 2021 is the Revell 1/25 scale 1983 Hurst/Olds 15th Anniversary kit. I painted the top in Delta Ceramcoat Black Pearl craft paint and the bottom is Decoart Dazzling Metallics Shimmering Silver craft paint. I used Pledge Floor Gloss for the clear, and I waxed it with Meguiar's Cleaner Wax. I used three different shades of Apple Barrel craft paint for the interior, Elephant Gray, Country Gray, and Granite Gray. The trim is done with BMF and a few of the extra details I added are valve stems, plug wires, and heater hoses. This is a great kit with great fitment, and was a joy to put together with only some of the decals being a little tricky. I worry that some of the pics don't really do it justice as the finish is glass smooth and very glossy (I even impressed myself there, lol) and there is some pearl in the black that doesn't really show in the pics. Anyways, as always, thanks for looking!!!

The final color looks fantastic!

My most recent done in Folkart Metallic Peridot craft paint and cleared with Decoart Gloss Varnish and my first attempt at a vinyl top.

Outstanding work!!

That's a beauty! Great color and paint job!

That's a beauty! The stance and wheels are fantastic, and I like your subtle change to the front bumper.

Looks great!

Wow! Outstanding concept and execution!

Most excellent!! Beautiful color!

Very nice!

Looks great! I love the color!

I'm sensing a theme here, lol. But seriously, those are some great looking matte black paint jobs!!

Looks good! Love those Superbirds!
