Really nice clean build. Great attention to detail. A very convincing model.

Some great and inspirational work in this thread.......now I should go and build something!

Looking good! I really like the engine detail work.

You certainly caught the spirit of IMSA road racing. Nicely done!

A mind boggling cool build. Well done.

OOB can be beautiful too, you just proved it. Very nicely done and best wishes recovering from the cataract surgery.

Sharp looking machine; great craftsmanship.

Always a treat to see projects from your bench and imagination.

A very impressive build; made so by your superb painting skills. Can you provide any insight as to how you thin and what pressure you shoot the Createx paints at? I like the Createx paints but I struggle with getting them to atomize nicely and lay down smoothly. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I have used Mr. Surfacer 1000 and 1500 as a primer under Tamiya lacquers and acrylics with no compatibility issues. In fact I find the 1500 applied with an air brush lays down beautifully smooth. Perhaps it's the pigment size or a different chemistry in the Mr. Surfacer 500? I think the lower number Mr. Surfacer, such as 400 and 500 are intended as "fillers" for seams and surface imperfections and then need an additional coat of a finer grade primer before the color coat.

What is your source for the belly tank? I've been entertaining the idea of attempting something like what you've got going.

If your issue is with the solvent in lacquer based paints just be aware that some "acrylic" paints are solvent based; Tamiya for instance. I state this because I've seen plenty of instances on the internet where people think that acrylic defines a paint as being water based which is not the case.

Thanks to all for their comments. A few folks have commented on the stance and the wheels. The wheels are what came with the kit and I thought they really are a nice touch. The stance is stock and really looks the part to my eye. For a nice curbside '57 this one really fits the bill. Again thanks for all the comments and all the great advice and ideas I get from this website.

How can you not love a 911? Yours is most excellent!

That charcoal paint looks great! Well done!
