Thanks Michelle Thanks Snake. Thank you Lee. Thanks Rusty. I agree not every color works on every car. I always liked the light blue metallic paints on late '60's and '70's era GM cars. Thanks Ray.

Mid 90's release of the 1/25 scale Buick Riviera painted in Tamiya TS-58 Light Pearl Blue and top coated with Testors Glosscote. The drivers side mirror is from an old Monogram GTO kit since this kit only contained mirrors for the custom build.
-
You produced a spectacular shine with this build and the blackwash detail on the grill is spot on. Nothing wrong with a more basic kit. I enjoy them myself and they can be a nice change of pace.
-
Great looking paint work and color.
-
That's good information. I didn't realize Rustoleum 2X primer would be safe under Duplicolor Perfect Match lacquers.
-
Great looking build and that color is awesome. It's a shame Testors discontinued that turquoise.

Most Involved Part of Building?
AMT68 replied to JollySipper's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I agree it is a very rewarding procedure in the build process. I can't say I find it relaxing though....lol. Maybe with more practice I'll think differently. But for me there are other aspects of model building that are very relaxing. -
Turned out great and the paint has a real nice shine.
-
Very neatly built and the under hood detailing adds greatly to the engine compartment.
-
Spectacular work as always. Wet sanding between coats of clear as you have done to produce this mirror like finish is something I need to attempt. I'm always concerned about burning through the color coat at that stage though.
-
Turned out great Nigel as all of your exterior foiling and detail work is very cleanly done. I especially like the detailing of the interior components.
-
I'm not sure if that's a factory color but that green '56 Chevy is a beauty and that silver '57 Biarritz is an absolute stunner. The bright yellow and white '70 or '71 Cutlass parked next to the '59 Impala is also very impressive.

I've yet to see supplies (paints, glues, styrene strips etc) discounted since the 40% off coupon was discontinued. Those are items I need more than model kits (which I understand are occasionally discounted) currently.
-
Looks excellent and I like your panel washing around the door and trunk openings.
-
That's a beauty. The floor mats add a nice finishing touch to the interior.
-
Always enjoy seeing your masterful builds. I like cleanness of the 1.2 mm rivets for the door and trunk locks. Just wish I could find those or something comparable.
-
Great build and excellent work creating the grill.
-
Great build and being a fan of green cars I think this is a beautiful shade.
-
I've had some issues with the first 1/4" or so around the edges of the sheet not having any adhesive properties. I've also received a sheet that was cracked in multiple places making those areas unusable. Overall I do like the product however.
-
I've always liked the "Countdown Series" kits as they were some of the first models I ever attempted when they were new. I've never seen the "69 Cougar built as a custom version especially since the more recent release doesn't include those parts.
-
Okay, good information should I run into a similar circumstance.
-
How do you go about repairing the C-pillar on the Buick. And a '65? That's a pretty rare model I would think.
-
That's just perfection. I like this era of the Nova with a vinyl top.
-
Great job as always. I've only seen a couple of these in person all the years I've attended car shows.
-
Great save Jason and I like the color and application of the blue.
