  1. That interior is coming along really nice! What material are you using for the black seat padding?
  2. Congrats Wayne, Your build is simply outstanding. The level of detailing and upgrades is through the roof. The motor compartment looks so real and the paint & decals are exquisite. Simply amazing!!!
  3. What a neat way to do a roll cage. What sizes of evergreen tube and type/size of wire do you use. Such a great idea! Thanks for sharing sir.
  4. Is this a scam? Pictures of the real car? Seriously this model is amazing. Simply amazing!
  5. Hey Mark, I am totally amazed by all the fab work you do on your models. It inspires me to try to stretch myself a bit. I purchased Tamiya white today, yeah! Not ready to get into decal making though, I would not know where to start. Your fabulous work inspires me my friend!
  6. Mark, I love the paint job!!! Did you have to polish the MM Acryl before the Future layer?
  7. The hood looks good, so after polishing it should be superb. Following this one with great interest!
  8. Congrats on that first brush painted project. Isn't fun to have the flexibility of mixing our own colors? I will follow your next steps with great interest. Particularly as it comes to your polishing and clear coating decisions.
  9. Courage my friend. It took me a while. From my experience if you see a brush stroke when applying, the paint is still too viscous. Stop ans wash the body immediately. Dilute the pain more and apply a thinner coat...if that makes sense.
  10. Most impressive my friend. I have always been afraid to try extensive body mods like you do but you inspire me to give it a try. Would you mind sharing what putty materials you use? fantastic work!
  11. Mark, thank you for doing this research. I definitely will try this when I start building again next winter. I was looking for an alternative to brush painting trim with my hands being less stable as time passes... I look forward to future progress on this fascinating build of your's.
  12. Congrats sir! A perfect rendition of a beautiful race car. What are the engines like on this kit relative to the generic stuff they have on their 70's GM offerings?
  13. Unbelievable, amazing achievement. The challenge of transforming a stock Corvette into this iconic Grand sport racer is one I would not be capable to meet, but you definitively have. You deserve a nice OOB build to recuperate from this one. I salute you sir!
  14. Looks like this one has been quite the challenge. I look forward to seeing the final result of such an iconic car.
  15. Beautiful build. I am still amazed on how you managed such huge decals.
  16. Beautiful work turning this super basic AMT one piece interior into this beautiful race cockpit. Lots of great detailing.
  17. One word: PERFECT ?
  18. I like the color Mark. I look forward to see what you do with the body. Personally I have not been successful with more silver than blue in the mix. I have done more like 3 blue 1 silver mixes. Suggest you test on a scrap body first. I started testing with the metal medium which shows potential. I look forward to see your work on finishing the body of the car.
  19. Thank you for showing this car. Not a paint theme I would dare try at my skill level but it encourages me to buy future releases with liveries I can manage. I have built 2 MCs from Salvinos and was not impressed. I have one Olds still in the box with little interest to build. This one Iooks like a big step up from previous offerings.
  20. Thanks for showing your safety belt components. This is like a tutorial on how to make them with styrene. very cool. Did you paint the interior with Vallejos?
  21. Coming along beautifully my friend. Love the engine. Love what you are doing with the interior considering the extreme simplicity of the kit parts to start with. You inspire me to buy one of these kits but I would not dare trying such an elaborate conversion. Maybe a Zo6 racer...
  22. What a wonderful inspiring build. I have tried weathering a race car before but your's really sets the bar for future efforts. Thank you for sharing.
  23. Congratulations for another perfect build. Do you polish your paint? The finish is remarquable!
