Its better its a world wide build!!

Ben you can do great paint jobs with enamels. I shoot lacquers and I reccomend the Donn Yost DVD on airbrushing. He shoots award winning paint jobs and uses the enamel paints. Go to his web site check him out or send him an email... www.oldmansmodels.com

GO Brian GO!!!!!!!

Hey Gary....I thought that was a virgin workbench......the Tamiya stand in the second pic gave it away!!!!!

never saw this one before....but it is still "Swanee"

Thanks Aaron....when I did a search well before posting this thread I found nothing . I then starteded a thread that asked you guys about this kit http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=29809 Two members responded so I figured I would shoot a few photos, couple of comments about the buildup ..that would be that. I had no idea or intent in starting the hottest thread in this section......As I originally wanted was a review..now I've picked up a challenge and I will see soon if I can or cannot build this beautiful kit

Including C notching and boxing the frame ....that would be before hydraulics or bags... I did get a corner cleared off the bench and a how to with pictures will soon get posted in another post...this is an easy to play with kit for mock ups, and that too will be forthcoming..gotta thank a friend for a few great tips and ...you will soon see..but the glue must dry so I can finish these first steps..

TOTALLY JEALOUS!!!! What a great time....hurry up with the pics!!

I just wanted a simple review as I had never seen one...I love this place!!!

Whoa......big guy.....I have followed every post here.....Seeing as you build larger kits and not this scale how can you comment on a kit that you do not own or want?.....this is one of the posts I refer to: So flat 2-dimensional mylar stickers look realistic??? Stickers that don't even work all that well??? The chrome trim should have been on the chrome tree... no slots or recesses needed on the fenders for placement. This kit was obviously intended for adult builders... pretty sure they could handle gluing some chrome trim in place without "help." Better yet, include both styles of fender, with and without chrome trim. An extra set of fenders would not have broken the bank, seeing as how the whole kit was new from the ground up anyway. I mean, if they can do multiple grilles... Or better yet, mold the chrome trim on the fenders and let the builder decide whether to keep it, or sand it off.

This is really lookin killer...keep it coming!!!

I for one agree with you J. This kit is not a TURD..It is beautifully molded and boxed, The detail is second to none in this scale Since I started this thread..I am tired of all the whiners who know so much about the kit..Looks like Billy was the only MAN here to post his build. C'mon Mark and Harry put up or shut up...lets see YOUR builds of this sweet kit...Since your talkin Turds...here is a REAL TURD... I wonder since we see all this knowledge given here why any kit wouldn't be perfect!!

You are always most welcome here.....That is unless YOUR the MURPHY the LAWS about......

Pat...I got this one..sorta...I still think Tom called the wrong color on this one but its been a while... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=6964&st=0&p=48729&hl=merc%20custom&fromsearch=1&#entry48729

thats a random street car......a very sweet random street car

This is one of my major concerns,as the design calls for all that chrome and more on the skirts...that I was planning on ....but thats a lot of foiling...new and improved or not!!!

If you must have a head mount buy an optivisor....it is worth every penny. That said I have worked on a repair bench for 20 yrs or so. As I wear eyeglasses I have several jewelers loupes,that clip to my frames. You can get different powers and / or multiple lens sets on one frame. I also have a round flourescent magnifiying lamp. I do not use my optivisor any more as I found the more you use it the more you NEED it.....your eyes get spoiled by this...and do get weaker... just my cents worth.......

Nope....they would never invite me...........

........OH ........... PS!!!!!!

That will be the next one...Jarius drew this baby....and thats the way it is!!! Total sense..it is that nice...and to think made in the USA in 1998!!!

Hey thanks a lot for the poop Dilla...I was hoping that was not the story...oh well progress!!
