  1. Ok, Tim. how did you sneak this one past me? Guess it got shoved down before I spotted it. Another awesome build from your bench.
  2. Looking good, Jason. Looking forward to seeing this baby finished.
  3. Looking good. Do you have any ref pictures to share to show us where your going?
  4. most kit decals are not very opaque and a white or any light color decal over a dark surface will allow the surface color to bleed through. If you can purchase decals its always a good idea to buy two sheets and double up on the decals
  5. I hear that nascar is going to require that every team uses this paint scheme. Also they can only use block letters and numbers in black only. You know, to cut costs and make things more equal. They say that the fans will love it.
  6. So clean, so beautiful. Awesome job.
  7. I hope they just call them chevys, fords, and toyotas. No way they should call that brick a camaro, mustang, or heaven forbid a supra. You could fit two supras in that thing.
  8. Looks great, Nice paint and decal work.
  9. So , John. I take it these are white decal paper decals. These are the same I have to make for myself when I have anything but a white car. It would probably work better if you cut the decals out exactly on the edge of the numbers and the letters. in other words remove all the blue back ground material. I know it sounds like a lot of work but that's what I have to do with the decals I make for my builds that are made on white decal paper. The best way to accomplish this and it may sound crazy but install the decal with some blue background material and then after it has set for an hour or so trace around the decal on the model with a #11 exacto knife and remove the excess decal material with a tweezers. It works.

    I agree. For that kind of money that baby should fit together like a revell kit. I've always had issues with amt kits. for some reason it takes a court order to get the frame to fit to the body on the fiftys and sixtys cars. I had to use screws once to get them to stay together on one build.

    Looks beautiful, Bruce. One of the best of these I have seen done. Really like the stance.
  12. One of the best COTS I have seen done. Excellent work .
  13. Another Awesome one. Paint is superb.
  14. Double WOW , Dustin. You've really out done yourself this time. That finish is off the charts. Excellent build.
  15. Another nice clean build.
  16. Another great one, Thomas.
  17. Stunning build. Really like the metal flake looking paint.
  18. Never knew Dick drove that one. Another great build.
  19. Another clean machine.
  20. Looks Awesome, Thomas. I don't know how I missed this one.
  21. When it comes to damage that one would be hard to beat.
  22. Thats an Awesome Havoline 28 car. You should be proud.
  23. You might want to try a higher f stop so the car stays mostly in focus on the slanted side shots. And make sure you have plenty of light . Also a light gray back ground helps give you truer color register. And it looks like you are already doing that.
  24. So many kits, so little time.
  25. Excellent job, Jake. Very clean build.
