  1. Thanks Keith, I think the '66 Wildcat is a truly beautiful automobile. Thank you David, I have a preference for white interiors since they seem to provide a nice contrast. I have a couple more of these kits to build and definitely looking forward to building them. Thanks Dave. Thanks Alex, i think it's one of Tamiya's best colors. Thanks David and I've experienced a similar situation with Tamiya clears at times. They do however seem to hold up better to wet sanding and polishing than Testors clears. Thanks Monty, it is foil and my work in that respect is getting better with room to improve. No engine shots simply because it's just a basic build in that respect. I'm looking to head in the direction of engine compartment detailing with future builds. Particularly with these older promo style kits. Thank you Gerald.

    Revell 67 GTX

    Exceptionally clean build right down to the "Plymouth" block lettering on the hood. Looks great from every angle.
  3. 2006 reissue of the 1/25 scale 1966 Buick Wildcat painted in Tamiya TS-39 Mica Red and cleared in Testors Wet Look Clear. Used embossing powder for the carpets and brushed Pledge Revive It on the seats. There was a good deal of orange peel in the clear which required over two hours of wet sanding. I managed to remove the majority of it with just a slight burn through on the top of front fender that's only noticeable from a certain angle. A simple kit with a not so simple finishing process....lol.
  4. Very impressive work merging the two kits. Your build is extremely clean.
  5. Very nice build and looks very good in a not often seen color for a '70 Chevelle. Just beginning the build process of one these kits myself.
  6. Nicely detailed build. I also like the tan interior.
  7. Thanks David, I have some other kits I where this color would work well.
  8. That turned out extremely nice. I don't normally build '50's cars either but I also have a '57 Chevy kit (an old Monogram release) which I'll build as my foiling skills improve since it will require patience.
  9. This is a beautifully detailed model inside and out. That 1:1 is also sharp looking.
  10. Thank you Carl.
  11. You have a great eye for placing decals. And I'm with you on the Testors tube glue. It works just fine.

    64 GTO Hardtop

    That's an excellent build from the paint, foil and engine compartment detail. Redlines are a nice touch.
  13. Excellent build of a subject I greatly admire. I have one of these kits myself and just need to decide on a color combination.
  14. Thanks Gene. Overall I'm satisfied with the build yet there is always room for improvement.
  15. Thanks Dennis. These Mustangs are nice kit to build. Thanks Beamerman. This is one of many great colors from Tamiya. Thanks Keith. I like the Tamiya Orange you used on your most recent build. It suits these Mustangs quite well.
  16. Thanks Chris. Thanks Bob, and that seems to be the general consensus on the spoiler.
  17. That is one spectacularly built and detailed Nova. The factory literature on the front seat is pretty cool.
  18. Turned out great. And the dog dish wheel covers are always a good choice on a Nova.
  19. Thanks Anders.

    1971 GTX

    Outstanding work and meticulously detailed. Paint appears to be a bronzish gold which I like.
  21. Thanks Jeremy. Yeah, oven cleaner or Super Clean usually does the trick. I've been there plenty of times myself.
  22. Thanks Trevor. The Tamiya base coats definitely lay down well but it's the clear coats that can be difficult at times. Thanks Ricky. I intend to leave off the trunk spoiler but for me I think rear window louvers sort of complete the look.
  23. Great looking build. I have a 1979 release of this kit called the "Snakebite" Also nice job detailing the chrome tail lights.
  24. Sharp looking Eldo. Your trim and pinstriping work is perfect.
  25. Thanks Gareth, I've built a few of these with four more still unbuilt. Definitely on of my favorites. Thank you Cliff. I wondered afterwards how this color might have looked with a red interior.
