Very nice work.

That's going to look great! I like the cab.

Very nice scratch building!

That's the one. Man, I love that movie!

Looks really good, I'm still kind of new to BMF myself. I've done a few kits now but I still mess it up sometimes. I always have a Molotow pen on stand-by!

I'd like to see more British classics produced, Mk3 Cortina, Vauxhall VX4/90, Hillman Avenger, Hillman Imp, Rover P6.. the list go's on!

ah well, it had an engine replacement after a diesel runaway incident!?

It looks amazing. I enjoyed following the build on this seeing the conversion, turned out looking really good. Very nice build.

Does it have to be painted? haha. Good luck, man, I could never do a 24hr build! Some nice choices there though.

This thing is a work of art! Amazing looking build, and that engine! ..ooph! Very nice!

ooh, great looking engine! Nice clean work, can't wait to see more.

Paint time! This is just the first coat, it'll take a few passes to make sure all the hard to get areas are well covered. I haven't decided yet if the tanks will be blue like the frame, or chrome using silver tape. I'm leaning toward blue with chrome straps but I'll have to fill the seam lines before I put paint to them.

Thanks, Jeff. Thanks, Stephen. Yeah, any bit of info is a great help. Thanks, Lee.

Well done, it's the one I voted for. It was very difficult to pick which to vote for though as they're all amazing looking builds. The colours and especially details like the soot stains on the trailer is what did it for me, such a nice touch.

Looks amazing. With the car placed there it looks real. Very nicely done.

Very nice build, those decals look really good.

That's nice and clean looking. I haven't seen many of these been built, it looks great

Looks great, I've always liked the Gulf sponsor colours.

burning question answered

Yeah, it's a convertible tub too. When I was researching trim colours I found better results when searching for the '65 and Riviera.

Frame is ready for paint. I glued pretty much everything to it as it'll all be one colour, I can detail things like the shocks and air bags by hand. So far, everything has fitted nicely. The frame rails had some warp to them being in the box for so long, but some careful massaging sorted them out and after the cross beams were fitted it sits nice and level. Pretty darn good kit so far, really enjoying it.

Thanks, Ken. ah, ok. I'll put a dab of red on the front hubs then. Thanks, mate.

Yes, they seem to be steel coloured, and the hubs are usually the same colour as the frame. Thanks, Stephen. A lot of the pictures I seen had what look like baby moons on the hubs, very nice, but the kit doesn't have any:(
