Looks more like a Ventura! Certainly those taillamps are "not right".

I remember Captain Pike when he was in his little driver cart thingie. When he decided to go back to the land when he could be a "normal" person again, I think it was a mirage or something. Those aliens with the weird heads and walk, lol. Nice job Michelle, good to see you create this.

LOL, not everyone is on Facebook! This modeling site is much better organized and useful than the banter over there, so I hear.

I am going to follow this build! Especially because it is my favorite car of ALL TIME. Now I want to build one of those replicars in my garage....wonder how much that would cost me.

Maybe I missed it. What tires and rims, which look different, are on the left?

Ah, sorry mate, John Buffum is known as "JB" here in the states. You have the kit! He drove in the RAC a few times in the BFG road car shod Quattro....

@nacho z, I have found with Tamiya spray paints, and their clear, even after waiting a few days or weeks, when I tape the body for masking, the paint has the imprint of the tape on it. More like IN the clear. You had no problems with the TS-13 clear. Was that from a rattle can? Did you do anything special?

Looks great! That is a tough one to build!

Cool, I have started building JB's car as well, and will be watching your progress!

Jason, love your model! Great to show your skills and what this kit can produce! Not many Torino models that look the part, this is inspiring as well as I have the PL kit and an AMT on the top shelf ready to combine for a build.

Do the parts come out of Europe or from the Livonia, MI facility in the US?

Love the light dusting and weathering. Good dry Acropolis replica! I love Group A. I have three real cars that are homologation specials. Good work.

Thanks a lot guys. I am heading down to the bench to finish er up with a bit more grime, and pack it up to take to the DAAM show tomorrow!

Will be there....Bringing one model.

Not quite done, still needs a little more weathering around the stack, the intake pipe and firewall, some more mud or dust, and added a Michigan plate to the rear...that needs some real dirt and muck. I am going to fine detail it tonight and after that, will put it in the completed bucket....

Well, that was a long vacation. Last year wife had an idea to take the RV to Florida for the winter. This year the same. Since I generally model in the winter season, guess what.... Got back early this year and about to finish this dirt bag up. Here may be a few new photos....gotta finish it for the model show on Sunday at Macomb Community College....

I built that kit a few years ago. It was a bit misaligned for sure. I am sure you will do a great job at this, and am watching the build. I think I will take a look at my model and see how bad it really is

Nice, I am building this model, but not to your level of detail. Keep showing your work, I enjoy it! Also, I have used that yellow Tamiya tape. It leaves a residue on painted surfaces and distorts the clear or paint. Do you have the same problem?

You could rebuild this quite nicely. I believe newish unbuilt kits are available, still wrapped from Tamiya, and aftermarket decals are available to resurrect this one. I rebuilt the Ferrari 312B that was in worse shape than this, and it turned out very nice. Go for it!

thanks for the photos.

Im a gonn a watch this one!

I just ordered one each Chevy and Honda. Gonna support what my passion is.

Awesome!!!!

I can hear it! ?

Nice model of a fun subject! And thanks for the WB information that I never realized. Tell me, why the resin model body over one of the AMT or other injection molded kit bodies? I don't like the wheel openings of some of the injection molded Chevelles, but thought it fixable.... Very nice thanks for sharing!
