One mean green machine! I like it.

Black paint is such a challenge and you've nailed it on this one. It never occurred to me to paint the tires with rubber black, it's quite effective. When I was a kid I was a Mazmanian fan and my best friend was an S,W,&C fan; always made for some fun rivalry. Gassers forever!

What a nicely done model! The chrome trim with the white paint is exceptionally nice.

1962 Corvette street/strip build (replica)
Andrew McD replied to keviiin86's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
I've long loved the appearance of the '62. Very cool that you're replicating a car with so much family history. I'll be following along. -
I get nervous just scribing body panels and here you are chopping and sectioning a body into pieces and reassembling them. This is quite the education!

Extraordinary!

Wishing you a quick recovery and looking forward to see what magic you work with this one. -

What an imaginative cool project. It may have fought you but in the end you clearly won. -

Really nice looking build and it's out of the ordinary which I really like. -
Lindberg Super Modified
Andrew McD replied to TonyK's topic in Other Racing: Road Racing, Salt Flat Racers
......and isn't that the whole point; having fun building regardless of the kit complexity. Nicely done. -
Thanks Alan. I was kind of going for an early 60's don't have a lot of money but better than a rat rod look.

The wheels and tires were inspired by a hot rod I saw rumbling down the street in North Platte, Nebraska as wife and I were traveling across the country a couple years ago. Thanks for looking and commenting.
-
Thanks Ken! I've got some more builds on the bench and a few on the shelf that need photographing.
-
I found the fit and finish of the kit to be a "challenge"🤪 but ultimately I got to a point where I could call it done. Thanks for looking and commenting.

Wow, what a ride this little gem would provide! You definitely accomplished the mission of combining brawn and beauty.
-
I can hear this one rumbling down the boulevard on a Friday night! That stance is all business and ready to rock'n'roll. Love it.
-
The details in this model really set it apart. Visually this is one of my all time favorite Ferrari and you've done a great job representing it.

The well known amt 1925 Ford Model T Chopped T. This one has been in and out of the box multiple times but finally a few months ago I brought it to a conclusion. For awhile the body was seeing service as a paint mule when I was kind of frustrated with the fit and finish of the original kit. Ultimately, if memory serves, the paint on it now is Testors enamel thinned with cheap lacquer thinner. I stripped chrome off the suspension components which made the parts a bit easier to assemble without the heavy handed rough chrome plating that was on them. The seats are out of the old parts box and at the moment I can't recall where I sourced the flathead. Not the cleanest build but I'm reasonably satisfied with the results considering the challenges this kit provides. I've been mostly lurking here for the past few years enjoying great information and builds posted on this site. Today I dug out the photography equipment with the idea of posting images of some of my builds and making more of a contribution to this site. More to come in the not too distant future.

Beautifully crafted and the engine compartment is a marvel!

Really cool build, looks gorgeous! I had no idea Revell produced a McLaren 570.....might have to have a go at this one....eventually.

MR. COLOR LEVELING THIINER
Andrew McD replied to Andrew McD's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Yep, also haven't been able to find the Mr. Surfacer Black 1500........I think they are both excellent products and apparently so do many others if it sells out so quickly. Thanks for your insights.
