I have the sub-assemblies completed. Trim foiling and decals then put her together. At first was gonna do aftermarket wheels but went ahead and decided use the as delivered ones. Only deviation from stock is the paint is Anita's Black Metallic craft paint over Krylon primer (the gold flakes are gold and very subtle). Cleared with Rustoleum Acrylic Laquer.

That's really cool Tommy?

Annnnnd another '63 Nova Wagon?. Looks good in red, nice job Rick.

Awesome Rusty, looks great!!?

Great job on that little guy Lee. One of my waaaaay too many cars 1:1 I owned was a standard 914 1.8. What a fun car to drive!!

Looks really nice Rusty, which Nomad kit is that?

Looking good TJ, one day I'll start minebut not until I see the in progress posts of the build.

Keep up the good work Craig, looking great. You mentioned "love hate relationship" with the Stynylrez primer. I just got some at the recommendation of DaveG and hopefully using his thinning method I will get good results (if the cold wet weather ever decides to depart). Up to now I have used rattlecan Krylon as a primer but with my new airbrush I decided to to the airbrushing the primer route.

Looking great Luke, thoI'm not a low-rider fan, your build quality is excellent. Really like the engine!?

Wow Steve, thats a lot of stripes on those seats. After reading this, I guess it's time to get the Tamiya.

As far as I know, Sterling (who lives near me) will be driving at the Nashville short track as he has for years. He was my Daughters favorite driver and we met him and talked to him many times. He also got my Daughter, Wife and myself pit access to a Talladega race. Just a super nice person.

Well Robert, you certainly got a good start on it for just 4 days work. Keep up the good work!!

Very nice Mr. Beamerman. Looks great?

The roof on that Monogram 55 looks like its chopped.

Great build of my favorite Chevelle (I guess it shoud be, it was my first new car). I hate the bumper guards also and on my future replica build will have to remove them too. Just don't know how to refinish them after stripping the chrome. I have yet to see a painted chrome that looks realistic enough to me.

Wow, nice stuff there. That "previous build" looks great. Looking forward to the new completed one.

Very very nice Andy, but of course it IS a Corvette. Well done?

Great build Ken, cute car?

Thanks Scott, I have never done anything larger than 1/24. Just my opinion of course, to me the bigger kits require a higher skill level of detailing when it comes to accurate finishes. As for my "works" I'm no where near a lot of folks on here. I always say, I'm still a WIP?

Yep, probably the pictures, and yeah the Nomad would be cool too. Without looking, I think the Nomad is a '55.

Very nice build Scott. Maybe its me or the pictures, but the body looks shorter than the real car.

Tried a few combinations distilled water, washer fluid and laquer thinner but not alchohol. To be brief best result I had was windshield washer fluid.

Shoot , no motor pictures

Cool story about that '61, would be nice to see some additional detail pics of that car.

Hobby Lobby sells Deco Art, Folk Art, Anita's craft paints. I wonder really what the difference is. Is one better the other?? I guess the best test would be to try all three if one was so inclined. And after trying different thinner concoctions I wonder if the KISS method is best. Heck, plain water, maybe distilled would work. Seems like the washer fluid is used a lot, maybe most. I don't know how if lacquer thinner reacts. I guess break out the spoons and mix and shoot away!!
