  1. Very nice ‘37! Rally like the wheels and tires and the swamp cooler!
  2. Nice looking custom version of my favourite generation of ‘Vettes!
  3. Great colour and nice wheels! Cool looking Merc!
  4. Once again my saw teared the Stude apart: After glueing it back together again... ...I made some rough putty work to see if the plan is still working: Lowering the roof line will be up next...
  5. Looks great so far! I‘ll keep watching!
  6. Very nice and clean work,John
  7. Now that‘s a mean looking Nova! Great work!
  8. Very nice looking builds, Joe! I really like the ‘46 Ford!
  9. Interesting! I will keep an eye on that!
  10. Now that I took off some material from behind the rear pillar... ...I still think it is not short enough, yet. I engraved new, curved door lines and again I marked the area where I want remove material from between the doors and the rear wheel wells and to shorten the trunk a little bit:
  11. Excellent truck! The Gulf livery suits it well and the stance is just right! Why did you do to get the rims of the GTX wheels chromed the Nice?
  12. I decided to stick to my original plan and to shorten the body first before I chop the top. I cut the body in half and removed the section between the rear door lines and the rear roof pillar... ...and glued it together again: Next step will be to shorten the rear window and to move the rear wheel wells forward, so more cuts will happen here:
  13. Cool!
  14. That‘s just beautiful! ?
  15. Great build and a nice tribute! Well done!
  16. Great build! A jewel in every movie car gallery!
  17. Actually, it‘s a Proxxon motor tool but it‘ basically the same as a Dremel. When cutting, I use this little circular saw at speed stage 2 or 3. Sorry, I don‘t have clue what rpm that is but it cuts through styrene like a hot knife through butter...
  18. And I thought I had a plan... ? I will have to think it over this night... Either way, the roof will have to be cut in half. Aaaah, decisions, decisions...
  19. Couldn‘t find any mistakes either! Looks pretty cool!
  20. Built examples of these kits are a rare sight, especially when done that nice! Love the paint scheme!
  21. Welcome back, Paul! Nice rod!
  22. Thanks for all that premature praise, I hope I can do it justice! No optional chopped top in this version of this kit but that‘s OK for me. I always like the fun of performing a chop myself... Not much happened so far but the first thing I realised was that I have to modify the inner front fenders to get the body low enough. So I cut them away to make room for the Pegasus wheels: I may want to scratch build some custom wheel arcs but for now it works to get a feel for the estimated stance: Looks cool already but of course it is still waaaay too long so I marked the area where I want to make the first cuts: Let‘s get out the Dremel. Thanks for watching!
  23. Very nice two toned Edsel! Great foil work!
