Nice, clean build!?

Looks great!?

Very nicely done! Looks fantastic.?

Beautifully done! I too find it hard to believe this is only #5 after 30 years.

Combinations of a Merc and a Chevy SSR Pickup became 2 Vehicles
NOBLNG replied to Nosferatu's topic in Model Cars
Now that’s something you don’t see every day. Those both blended very nicely! Good eye, and excellent craftsmanship!? -

No disrespect meant, especially if the owner is a vet. But just because it’s outside the box doesn’t automatically make it art. Each to his own I guess.?♂️ -
Were there any 3 window Vickys made? Forgive my ignorance, I’ve only begun to delve into them. Edit: I think I misunderstood you. Only 3W coupes had suicide doors in ‘32…but suicide doors were made available on the Vicky and other models in later years…right?

Very nicely done!? -
It’s on the opposite end from the Bonnet? Thanks for the info on the Victoria Guys! I figured that hatch was custom. That must be an early (‘32?) one since it doesn’t have the suicide doors. The second pic is a ‘34 I believe and it has the suicide doors and a small trunk.

Well that is just Strange. Is He/She a Vet? Obviously they are trying to make some kind of statement…what that is I have Nooo idea!? -
Did the early Victorias come with either a trunk or a rear door? Or is this strictly a custom job? I suspect the first pic is, but would like to verify it. Second pic is a later (34?) model.

Excellent work! These look like really nicely detailed kits.?

What did you screw-up today??
NOBLNG replied to TransAmMike's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thanks, but I don’t know.? I sure didn’t see them previously, yet they are clearly visible now. Same with the raised lip around the roof insert and texture that I sanded level I thought. Oh well… It’s in a jar of brake fluid now. ? once it is thoroughly stripped, I will re-assess the status. Edit: I guess the scratches were in the plastic. They must have been filled by primer. This paint I am attempting to use is a hot laquer designed for Polystyrene RC bodies. The heavy coat I put on must have softened the previous coats right down to and into the primer. Same with the roof insert…there is still just a little of the texture left. The brake fluid I used to strip it must have weakened the glue joints on my chop job too!? -
Not saying you wanted it cheap or fast, but this reminds me of a sign I once saw. Any reputable shop should not offer option #3! ?

That would look real nice in a charcoal gray metallic! ?

Looks like you got the windshield frame straightened nicely. Be careful with the chrome on this one. I put tape on the radiator shell to protect it while handling and it peeled the chrome off. Looking good!?

My paint job!? This is Pactra candy purple over a silver base. I know I put it on too heavy to get the real candy effect, and I was OK with that…I still like the color. It had a bit of an orange peel texture, so I wet sanded the entire thing smooth, and figured one more nice heavy coat that could “flow out” smoothly would do. Well, a bunch of scratches showed up on the trunk and the roof insert that I thought I had sanded smooth in the first place showed up all of a sudden.?? I guess it’s going into the pond now!? -

I’d love to have the Corvette or the Jag, but since I’m dreaming….the Corvette AND the Jag!? -
