My modest contribution...just to keep this thread moving. 1971 winner, OOB Fujimi kit.

Yeah JC...we need our fix!

The interior looks super nice. What did you use for the cage padding?

Awesome build. This is like attending advanced scale modeling school!

Thank you Rich. I have another GS kit in my stash and want to acquire a roadster resin transit for it so I'll definitely follow your lead on that one.

Chassis is done and painted. Only have to loop oil lines to filter and cooler after chassis & body marriage. Only recent mod was the side pipes to reflect the configuration of the specific car I am modeling and making the exhaust outlet look more "muscular" Final adjustments body to chassis with 0.5 mm shim at the front.

Pretty amazing stuff Bill. Lots of work ahead but you'll create your own scale models. Super cool. Can a 3D printer handle a complete body or will you break it down to body panels?

Working on a similar one myself. Your's will be a tough act to follow. Congratulations Jung-min, this is a superb build!

She's taking shape. Beautiful!

I just did it with a dullcote followed with Tamiya weathering master rust color and finally a sand colored pigment to fill the threads. Done 3 years ago and still looks good.

Wow Dave, this is just wonderful. Us mere mortals will assemble existing kits and make some improvements along the way, but you sir are a true creator of scale models.

Now that's unique. Don't forget to add the propeller!

Simply gorgeous detailing!

Jim, your work on this kit is exquisite. True that the large scale allows for more detailing but I would rather say it demands it and you nailed it. Your weathering techniques add a lot of realism too. Bravo!

I thought the first picture was a 1/1 reference! Through the roof authentic, all of it! Inspirational

Love the 60's Cadillacs. Your work on this oldie is mighty impressive. Thanks for sharing.

Looks like you are working through a lot of the Wood Brothers decal sheet! I like the W nose Cyclone the best and your interpretation of it is superb.

That color is totally awesome. Great demonstration of creativity.

Congrats Dan. Very very nice!

I love the MCM forums. It is a place for scale modelers to support and help each other. The highly skilled builders show their work product and methods and always provide information and advice to their peers. The "less than expert" builders expose their work knowing they will be helped, not judged. This is the way it works out 99% of the time, but on occasion there is that MMQ waiting on the sideline for the right moment for a dressing down of a peer's efforts. This fellow will claim he's there to help but really only wants to tell he knows it all. The funny thing is that fellow never puts himself at risk by displaying his work product. Yes Joe Zrodlowski, I'm talking about you! I still plan to remain active on this forum because I love supporting the efforts of fellow modelers. I will complete building my GS and eventually display it but will pause on sharing updates of my build process. Perhaps Joe might want to take over this GS w.i.p. thread? Put yourself out there Joe, show your work product!

Thank you all. This was a very interesting project considering it started out with a very basic street car kit.

From here I can see the finish line. Almost there Mark.

Randy, just saw this for the first time and went back through the whole 10 pages...covering 6 years worth of unbelievable artistry. I am floored by the skill, creativity and dedication. My little battles with styrene seem so silly now. I salute you!

Thank you Ray for sharing your work. I've never done a Cobra but it is on my wish list. That Revell kit looks really good.

And the final parts as they will be integrated after engine is secured to the chassis.
