Very well done! Makes me think about sending you my container kit to work your magic on it.

I like it! paint weathering looks very realistic.

Just found this build. Very well done.

I use a tooth pick for a lot of details. Shake the bottle of paint and dip the toothpick into the paint on the LID (not the jar). You can really control how much is applied and where. The top row is Tamiya panel line accent in the recesses and MM Black Chrome trim enamel applied with a toothpick on the ridges (not the spokes). The middle row is 67 Shelby rims with multiple applications of panel line accent. The bottom row is painstakingly applied MM Black Chrome only with 5 tooth pick droplets for EACH recess. The spokes and lug nuts are still chrome. I am still have not decided which to use on my 69 Boss 429.

So If I wanted to do some kit bashing and make a "Day Two" sedan AND a hardtop. The best Sedan is the Revell? The best proportioned hardtop is a Revell snap kit? I am ok with doors that do not open. Has anyone done a front clip swap between AMT and Revell kits?

I am a big fan too.

Enjoy the build. Following.

After a lot of trimming and thinning, the 67 engine bay is installed.

I have the 1985 and 1998 versions Revell 57. The HOT ROD three Chevy Classics and the one with the pale pink 1:1 box art. Every time I open the box and see all those opening doors, it scares me and the lid goes back on.

Way cool! I love what you have done.

I used the ACME site and printed them on decal paper. I then applied them to real aluminum. Just like the real thing but not embossed.

That is absolutely GORGEOUS!. I would be proud to put it in my display case

I have two 4 post lifts that were 3D printed in a medium blue material. If I leave them in the up position, I start to get some sag and splaying of the legs. Left down, they do ok. I think is basically the rigidness of the base material. I have painted them but I do not think it changes anything. For the price I paid, I am still happy for what they are.

Well done details. Following.

Very nice Buick. The rallys work well with it. I ran with some rally wheels with my 1st Grand Prix for awhile.

Made some progress the last few days. Created and printed some custom decals for the race car's name. I also mixed in some old contingency decals I found in my decal box. My "427 Cammer" decals got messed up so I will have to print them and try again.

I have one of these kits. Following

Very nice result!

I built and finished a diorama for the express purpose of photographing models. It works great outdoors. In my display case it needs better lighting.

Not to be contrary for the sake of being contrary, I foil THEN clear coat. My goal is to have the foil STAY down and not come loose when handling the model. I have not noticed any loss of shine.

Gee, I am 85% the way through my Boss 429 build and NOW I find this thread.

Evergreen part number 101. (.010" x .030")

Very nice build.

The Ford race car set definitely. The Plated tanker if I did not already have one. If I collected Die-cast then the Mustang and Charger for sure.

I like American iron '53 to '78. Primarily Muscle cars with contrasting graphics. I like Big Rigs that can carry cars too.
