Looks promising. Especially the handling abuse you described.

I have built the Lindberg 72. I thought it was petty decent. I sanded off the incorrect side (strakes?). I converted the wonky hood scoop to a day two 440 6-Pak scoop. I did add some BMF to the grille opening to simulate the two trim lines.

I use Future floor polish in a paper Dixie cup and some blue food coloring. Be advised it has to be pretty dark in the cup to show actual tint on the windows. If you screw up, It comes right off with household ammonia. No harm, no foul, no crazing.

Born in 1961. Started modeling in the late '60's through the mid 70's. Only built cars and they were pretty easy to put together. As a teen, they were getting too easy until Movin' On TV show switched me to building semi's. Henceforth, my favorites are/were AMT and MPC due to subject matter. I really like the subjects Johan put out but the only one I ever built was the twin engine Haulin' Hearse.

Thank you for the reply.

Errors? I don't see any errors. (...and, I am NOT asking you to show them either.)

Very nice scratch building. I like what you have done. Would you happen to have ANY pieces left over from the 69 Grand Prix?

That is awesome! I purchased a 3D 1969 Grand Prix. My skillset (and patience) is not good enough to tackle the bodywork needed to smooth it out.

Hmmm... more cases. Unfortunately my wife has capped my indoor real estate. I have just one case for my builts.

The pizza boxes in the trash is a nice touch. You do seem to have a pretty high female count for an auto shop. Great detail throughout.

I second that. I used them on my Big Girls Project.

Nice variety. Thank you for sharing.

Today's cell phones take great pictures for the resolution needed to view them on a PC. I use a couple of clamp on halo lights to enhance the front lighting. They can be had from Amazon for less than $10. Great for modelers that need more light or directed light too.

When I "kind of" had money I bought all the ebay kits I "kind of" could afford. Now that I have "more" money I buy the subjects I really want. Then again, I am at around 250 kits and have yet to retire. I shall look forward to the time I can get started on them.

Beautiful model. I have a suggestion regarding your photography. You seem to have all the light sourced from above. You may wish to move it down and face it the same direction the camera faces. The side views are not well lit.
