  1. For John: Thank. I went down the path of least resistance for white decals production, and instead of a transparent sheet for print, I bought a whole white sheet for making my own decals. And I called all the descriptions in the program "white" transparent, and the rest of the whole ark black. A little bit of a mark to make the difference in black colors over airbrush not great. I'm doing it differently at the moment. I found this entrepreneur who prints me my designed decals in any color on a transparent sheet and they cover. I've already built one fictional NASCAR, but it's expensive, so I'm exploring other options. Like printing only in white and if you want a colour other than white, then another same copy in other colours and decals stick to the model on top of each other. For Scott: Thanks a lot, man. : -)
  2. Thank you very much to all the guys for the nice sentences. For Pierre: The taillights and blinkers were only pressed in body plastic, so I plastered them with aluminum foil and painted them transparent red and orange. Thank. :-)
  3. Thank you all guys for making nice comments. For Russell: If you mean the side rearview mirror holder and the varnish underneath, you're right, I agree, that's where it would want to make rust. Thank. :-)
  4. Splendour. Perfectly clean.
  5. Beautiful details. I like the wheels a lot. It has the right attitude. It's done so well.
  6. Gorgeous. And also, wheel drives are cool. Perfect job.
  7. Thank you guys pretty much. :-) P.S. I would like to ask here whether I have inserted the finished model here correctly or is this section intended only for built-in structures? Do I have another ready-made Gasser, and now a non-one, whether to put it here in Drag Racing Models or the Under Glass upstairs? Thank you for the advice.
  8. Larry and Bob, thank you guys pretty much. :-)
  9. Rough ! Brutally complicated inner cage. Very challenging and very beautiful. I love it.
  10. I'm sorry, I was so taken with your construction that I forgot to write it in English. : -): -) Incredible and monumental project. amazing
  11. Neuvěřitelný a monumentální projekt. Úžasný.
  12. Sorry Lee Rilea, I forgot to answer you about the engine. Bel Air's hood is glued, and I didn't model the engine in any way. Nor, so far, has any other American car kit. I've done a total of four engines on cars in the past. (Until now, though, I've only got two of them left at home.) But even when I'm looking at them and taking them in my hand, I've never looked in the engine. And since one never knows how long one will have for this hobby of leisure, I don't waste time with the engines. But in the future, I'm not ruling out building a commuter engine. Moebius kit, for example, has engines beautifully executed.
  13. Beautiful shapes.
  14. Thank you very much to everyone for the very nice and encouraging comments. I realize that the chrome arc behind the front wheel is nonsense, well a year ago I jumped in headfirst. : -) For Lee Rile: That it's easy to wipe the chromium off the paint here is probably just my fault, I probably didn't grease the body off the polishing paste, and then Alclad didn't hold. Admittedly, since then I have always preferred to coat Chrom Alclad II with varnish, but after that it has lost its shine. So the next models I put in the next few days won't have chromes that bright anymore. But lately, I've come to realize that when I wrap up Alclad II with a two-part 2K ZERO varnish, it hardly loses its shine. Thank you for your support and your tip for the new chrome. : -)
  15. Thank you very much everyone for your kind comments and welcome. I didn't expect such good responses. For Lee Rile: Really? And does your son build plastic car models, too? I'm from Prague 10, a flash of the Garden City. For David Espenshade: Thank you, you're right, the kit is old and of poor quality. The hood was twisted and the front bumpers were very hard to stick. I just have to write to avoid mystifying on my part that 51 'Bel Air was one of my first American cars, but otherwise I've been building for a long time, not only F1 and GT, but also several ships and planes and tanks. It's just that I messed up a great many other kit before this model. : -): -) Thank you all again.
  16. Good story. I've given a lot of thought to buying this model. Well, I don't have it yet. But it's good to know that the model is building well. Very beautiful work.
  17. I like these bodywork. And I've already built a similar Dodge 330. I'll put him in here as soon as possible. Beautiful clean work.

    Wonderful work. Great attitude.
  19. Thank you very much.
  20. Thank you very much David for welcoming me and for liking the model.
  21. Hello, everyone. I modified the 55 'Bel Air streetburner kit a little bit on Gasser. I finished the suction on the hood, covered the headlights with a tin and gave different tailbacks. Later, I swapped the rear wheels for the narrower ones so they wouldn't stand out so much from the fenders. I printed the Decals myself.
  22. Hello, everyone. I built this model when I was excited about these racing cars, (I don't know much about it until now) but I didn't know a thing about them, so please excuse the possible senselessness of the result. Thank you very much.
  23. Hello, everyone. Older very simple kit. The body is a little deformed from the production. I refilled the rearview mirrors. Inside from the beer tin and side from the junkyard. The decals on the hood are from another Chevelle plastic kit.
