Forgot to say the roof looks ace!

Taking shape nicely! Engine is a gem Interior is spot on. Funnily enough, I was only just considering those bucket seats for my current build. Didn't come from the AMT 32 phaeton? Or were they from their 57 Chevy kit. I can't remember. Very cool though, in metal flake ?

I've been thinking about this for a while, so yesterday I bought a razor saw. %5BURL=http://s173.photobucket.com/user/geetee66/media/795F0EA4-3A13-43B9-A422-1DE7D3F6186B_zpspt6cpq30.jpg.html] I found some headlights in my parts box which I can shape to look a bit more like the original car: %5BURL=http://s173.photobucket.com/user/geetee66/media/06BA8DA5-7491-428C-8268-5DABFDB82F5B_zpsepdyx90w.jpg.html] Starting with a Revell London Taxi kit, I planned my cuts before I started: %5BURL=http://s173.photobucket.com/user/geetee66/media/96690F99-A7E0-43FE-90C4-14105C999D29_zps1zfhszdf.jpg.html] First, I cut away the centre section. As this part has 4 pillars, I'll use it as my reference point for lining up the front and rear sections. %5BURL=http://s173.photobucket.com/user/geetee66/media/572DFB2C-1FC8-4E32-A3A5-90E8B2821C18_zpsvkvujemf.jpg.html] Then epoxy some brass rod onto it as support, strength and to help alignment. The styrene rods are there to help gauge the inside height of the front and rear sections and to rest give support while gluing: %5BURL=http://s173.photobucket.com/user/geetee66/media/815810D3-89DC-4CC3-9882-8C8666486D4F_zpsleg3wapx.jpg.html] I won't remove the front or rear sections until the centre section pillars are glued. That way, I can use the adjacent edges as a guide for horizontal alignment ? I hope more pics soon thanks for looking comments/ advice appreciated

I agree. Excellent decal work and some fine details. please say you're going to do something, to those tyres! (Excuse me if it's WIP)

You're definitely improving! well done ?

Super clean build nice finish on the paint, too. I might have to get one of these. They look like good kits

Crikey, Tom! How many? All of them A+, as well! great photos. They look very realistic

Totally nuts! You made a silk purse outa this one, for sure nice work

Terrific output for one year! All top-notch builds. nice woody ?

That's cool! I like the white stripes. Definitely looks faster with them!

Bags of swagger! I love it!

Very sleek in that deep gloss black. the Matt hood hints at menace, too! Super-clean work. Very nice

Another beautiful job! The lighting and background make your clean builds look even more convincing. I love it

Very classy colour choice super build!

LOL! That's what usually happens when I spend time on details. They're often hidden in the final results, but in case you're wondering, I used nail art decals on the seats: Thanks for the comments everyone. I really appreciate it

Nice Makes a change from seeing those ice-blue ones

I wish I could build as many as that in a year! A wide selection of styles. Yes. Make the stars and finish off the Club De Mer

Yeah, that's a nice touch, using the garage exterior mixed with the interior diorama shots. It gives it more realism, by far. I wouldn't worry about the paint. It's hardly noticeable. Often, cameras show up things, that the naked eye can't see. I sometimes gasp when I see a macro-photo of my work, but everyone else says it looks fine to the eye.

Top marks for digging out a rarely seen kit. You did it proper justice. The wheels look fab and the finish is superb.

Oh yeah! This is very nice. I love 442's

I agree All three are spot-on, but that Mopar is killer!

Wow, that's a million times cooler than anything my old boy used to drive! That green is dead classy on these old Mustangs, isn't it?

Nice one Terry Good idea swapping out the vent window glass for acetate. Nice paint finish, too. Especially as it looks jolly fresh, where you are! Brrr!

Surely this is the box art or something!!?? Amazing quality. Like others have said, Mikhail, there's no way anyone would know you haven't built anything for two decades. Looks 1:1 Can't praise any higher than that.

My 1st woody! Revell did a good job on this kit. It's really nice to build. Lowered and riding on Pegasus chrome reverse wheels. The nose decal doesn't fit the raised letters, as it's too short. So I cut up the decal and applied the letters one at a time: I put an Aloha garland in there,,, nearly forgot the chassis: I hope you like it Comments appreciated + or -
