Great start. Following

.oo00OO00oo. Very pretty.

Awesome job sir!

Well done all around.

If you have the inclination and the time. Go ahead. Do it for yourself if you enjoy that level of detail.

I agree. Very nice detail work.

Very realistic. Well done!

Very nice indeed.

That is a beautiful color and has excellent gloss. Well done example of one of my favorite cars.

I agree with the others. Your attention to detail and more importantly, your execution, deserves recognition by your peers.

Thank you for the suggestion. This build has had enough of a challenge already that I'll just run with the kit tail panel.

Thank you Dan and Gareth.

After managing to add BMF, panel line detail and some miraculous Molotow application, the paint is hanging in there with minimal touch ups. After rechecking my reference photos, I noticed the kit has no rocker trim that the 1:1 has. I had to figure out a way to add it without screwing up the paint on the rockers. Most all adhesives have some sort of solvent which was way too risky to use to put on a very thin strip of evergreen. Testors window maker could work but mine is old and not very thin any more. Since the whole body is soon to get painted with Future, I figured I would use it as an adhesive for such a light piece. It worked fantastic with no boo boos on the paint. After a day to cure I applied BMF to simulate the trim. It turned out reasonably decent.

Crown Jewel hmmm, I have a couple of older builds that are special but my skillset then is not what it is now. I am still nowhere near some of you master builders but my results have improved. So, I submit my first diorama, my latest big rig and my best (to date) paint job.

I just read through his whole website. Interesting read from a car enthusiast.

Do you need white letters on clear paper or another color on white paper?

The engine swap looks great. Were the front bumper and tail panel actually from the F&F kit?

One of my favorite builds. Yours looks good in dark blue. I did mine in copper with custom rims before 3D printers.

I have done the foil under the paint then sanding method. I have not tried the foil then thinner method. Sounds risky. I have done some with the 1mm Molotow pen and a VERY VERY light touch/drag.

Well done and unique. I would be proud to have it in my fleet.

I have a rebuilder 352 from Sam in the stash. I picked up a minty fresh cab body from ebay awhile back. I will be following your build.

Very nicely done Cougar. I have done the same technique on occasion. Here is one.

I'll be following too.

I know Vedero Green. A good friend in HS had a similar color on his 67 Firebird 400. Bronze? I could see that. Enjoy.

High quality details. Well done.
