Thank you all for the replies and compliments. Yep, I just had to do the red-lines. Oh, and I forgot to mention, the foiling went reasonably well except for around the "greenhouse" which was a .....well you know? It's a new sheet of BMF Matte. It rubs out nicely with anything soft...looks like the chrome. It does seem a bit thin but boy didnit stick.

Good work on the oldie Vette. I enjoyed doing that one, mine in black.

Well Jung-min, that is a great looking 959 and welcome to the forum. Clearly you are no newbie to model car building even tho this is your first post. Just wondering if you had the issue with getting the body over the engine as has been discussed here.

I finished this a few days ago...it's the old AMT Pontiac Polyglass Gasser II kit. No clue why it's called a "Gasser" as there is nothing about this kit that qualifies it as such. As a Pontiac fan I always liked the big cars so just had to have one...in model form at least. She's painted in DecoArt Extreme Sheen Deep Sapphire metallic craft paint over Createx Autoborne silver sealer. Clear is the Rustoleum Crystal Clear Acrylic Lacquer. Interior is all hand brush painted with craft paints. The 3 tone color seats were a chore but I persisted and got it pretty good. The extensive detail on the real car dash was a chore for me to replicate and really did not come out very well. In looking at a lot of reference pictures of these cars the stances varied but I always liked the slightly raised front look. The 8-lug wheels are not in this kit and for any "authorities" out there I know red lines were not available yet in 1962 but I just like how they look with the darker blue. Anyway with all that being said, here are some pictures: He it is in the silver Autoborne sealer. This stuff really goes on nice. Well Folks, that's it and thanks for looking. Mike?

Well Luke, you sure nailed the BMF. And yes, The masking tape guide method is sometimes a lifesaver. Great looking '62 and I'm so envious of that black paint job. Being a huge '57 Chevy fan I will sure be looking in on that build. Pretty color. The snapper I did in a slightly darker blue.

Very nice work Marc. The exterior paint is a darn good likeness of an original paint job. ☝️ -
Thanks for repying Jim. Such nice paint jobs and with no clear is so interesting. I never used a clear until I started using craft paint and Createx. That burgandy on the 5-window coupe is sure pretty.
