  1. Very nice. I like seeing other scales. Yours looks great.
  2. Very minimum, I'll put clear drying glue over the top of them. If I'm in the mood to be more detailed, drill them out or at least deeper, then if no aftermarket lenses are available I make my own out of clear plastic. I am lucky enough to have some hand tools for setting domed rivets in leather. I use that to dome out the plastic and there was a thread on here somehwere about how to add the texture or lines to make them look more realistic. Only ever done this on round headlights.
  3. Looking over the list again. This is going to be an awesome year. Lots of variety and some really cool builds going on. I love seeing all the different takes people have on their builds.
  4. There aren't a lot of HD kits out there. The ones that are tend to be pretty spendy (at least to me). There is a facebook group dedicated to scale motorcycle modeling that I follow that is pretty good. I haven't jumped into the motorcycle building myself yet but have thought about it a lot. Tryin to find something that isn't a race bike, trike or chopper has been a challenge.
  5. I think you are going to need more tires.....?
  6. Tried to add detail to the underside of the trunk lid, and add trunk hinges. Turned into a mess so I undid it all. Tried to drill out the gauge faces on the dash. Was off on one so one is lower than the rest. Luckily had another dash that will work. Overall it was a 1 step forward 4 step back couple of days.
  7. Don't you dare repaint that engine unless you use the same color scheme. It's classic.
  8. Great job. Have this one sitting in my pending builds. Yours looks awesome.
  9. The green brake disks are my favorite!
  10. Looking awesome!!
  11. Doing the same. Are you going to hinge it the standard way (with the bent wire)? I have been trying to come up with a plan for hinges.
  12. Hooray. Rear suspension is now a thing. Dropped and broken into pieces twice but it's pretty much done now. Now on to the front.
  13. Looks Awesome!! one note - That reflective material in your photo setup casts a weird reflection on your model. But the model itself is great.
  14. It's trunk lid underside detail day. Also made progress with scratch building some rear suspension. Modeling it on the Shelby GT 350R suspension so it's age and make correct for the 66 hardtop. Kind looks like something from star wars.
  15. Up here I'm the Memphis area we are supposed to get down to less than zero with the wind chill.
  16. Thought about putting a vinyl top on the mustang but the last time I did one it turned out like doo doo. Now at least I will get to see how it should be done.
  17. The pains I go through just to make something accurately stock. The problem being: the 66 chassis is all pre molded lumps. The 67 chassis has the interior floor as the top of the undercarriage. The solution: cut up the 66 interior and fit it to the 66 interior to the 67 chassis.
  18. See these guys pretty regularly
  19. one of these: https://www.jensentools.com/product/620PO201-201
  20. Might be pushing the restomod parameters though.
  21. What do ya think....cute and fuzzy bunny hood ornament??? I really gotta stop building late at night ?
  22. Convinced this 67 to give up it's chassis and engine compartment.
  23. Looks awesome!! I am dreading doing door panels but know they need to be done.
  24. Very nice work on the door panels!! Oh and if you plan on opening the trunk on this one, those alignment posts are a pain.
