That ridge really adds a nice touch. -
1957 Ford Del Rio "Shooting Brake" Ranch Wagon
Bills72sj replied to LennyB's topic in WIP: Model Cars
It is your project bu,t I think it would be more aesthetically pleasing if the "V" in the trim was centered in the space between the relocated door jam and the front edge of the rear wheel opening. ie rearward about 5/16" to 3/8". (my guess is not to scale) -

1967 Drag On Lady Coronet Decals
Bills72sj replied to jjsipes's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
If it were me, I would high-res scan them in my PC, clean up the edges and print out new ones. -

The B pillar, the wheel opening and the door lengthening will get you the best bang for your buck. Maybe shave the gas door. Chop the top a bit if you are into that. -
Cool build and uniquely yours.

I feel for you. Hopefully a new, friendly kitty will be coming home with you soon. -
Here is a link to a lengthy demo of the Duplicolor primers.

If I had a Real Pete

You Pete turned out great! You have done a superb job. Building these really stretch one's skillset once you become motivated. -
AMT 70 1/2 Camaro headlight bezel repair?
Bills72sj replied to atomicholiday's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I built the Motion Baldwin version molded in grey. I do not remember fiddling with the headlights too much except for maybe making the lenses for better. I used BMF judiciously trimmed. -
Ford car hauler
Bills72sj replied to Bronzekeg's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Pretty cool. I flattened the rear deck on my build too. -
Nice build. I see that you (and I) installed the rear spoiler "backwards" I think it looks better that way.
-
Well done! I like kit bashing too. It lets one build them as we see fit.

Pontiac GTO 1967 (MPC 1/25 scale)… a NIGHTMARE build…
Bills72sj replied to Tommy124's topic in Model Cars
I had heard these wee a pain to build. Thank you your perseverance. At least now I know it CAN be done. -
Beautiful. Love them Chargers.
-
way cool build. Whenever I get to my 67, it will be a cop car.
-
Well done on opening the doors. I am not brave enough to attempt that feat.
-
Very nice Judge. I agree, Triple Black Pontiacs are awesome. I currently own one. (1972 Grand Prix, my 3rd).
-
Very impressive. Love the LEDs. Great job on the front bumper refinish.

Bills72sj replied to Dragonhawk1066's topic in Model Cars
Very nice build. I think your Accel Supercoil is feeling sad... -
SCCA Camaro Trans Am Set
Bills72sj replied to Scale-Master's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
I give you props for dealing with all the decal issues. If I suspect a decal sheet is going to be troublesome, I put a hi-res scan of it in my PC. If the original sheet fails, I have a .bmp file to manipulate into a water slide decal. (Though I am running low on my Testors decal clear coat). The pic is of some decals I made from scratch to make a 1/25 Hotwheel for a contest years ago. -
Cool car. If I could get one in 1/25, I would add it to the stash.
