70 Sting

Like Spike said above! ? Wish those kits weren't so expensive.

Holy jumpin'... very realistic! ?

Absolutely gorgeous. ?

Perhaps the nicest sample of this kit I've ever seen. ?

That’s too bad about the drawing. However, it looks like you’re gonna be building a C3 kit :^) Here’s where I got the P.E. for my C3: https://offthesprue.com/product/1968-72-chevrolet-corvette-detail-set/ Good luck!

You are correct sir. :^) It is also my favourite generation of Corvettes and all-time body designs. I’ve loved them ever since I was a little kid. Cool story regarding your high school. Did you ever get the drawing back and do you still have it?

Excellent craftsmanship. Looks 100% like it just rolled off the assembly line.

You did an awesome job on a beautiful car. ?

2 x ?

? everything Zippi said plus nice chrome work too.

About the best C3 I’ve ever seen. ?

Well that’s pretty much perfect! ???

Body, engine bay and interior… has it all. ? Engine hood is the common issue that has kept me away.

It’s all been said above! ?? Did you use Bare Metal Foil on some of the trim?

Excellent work. Beautiful paint job! ?

Colour looks great. Nice job on the engine as well. ?

Awesome build and photography…as usual. ?

Thank you kindly Trevor and Dann. It was a fun little build (minus body - chassis fitting).

What a great build. Awesome interior with the wood grain steering well. Nice engine too.

Thanks for sharing your process Rich. I’m going to give it a try on my next build. ? Yes, Mr. Color GX100 is very good - quite thick though.

That’s a couple hundred bucks worth of paint… any chance he’s looking for a new friend? ;^) I’ve been using MCLT as well. Have you tried Tamiya’s thinner with retarder? I’m not sure if there’s a difference between the two. They must call MCLT ‘Unicornn Tears’ for a reason.If I read you correctly, you’re adding more thinner to subsequent coats of LP Clear? How many coats do you typically apply and how does the ratio vary? I have tried TS-29 as well… also very good and more economical. That Testors paint will probably last forever. I recall seeing or reading about a modeller who opened an unused square bottle of Testors enamel that sat for over 20 years… still applied perfectly.

Thank you sir. And thanks for shedding some light on the wheel issue. I did a little looking around and found gaps to varying degrees on other builds as well. Still, doesn’t detract too much from a pretty cool kit. ?

A car that should be in everyone’s collection. Nicely done sir.

Incredible work. The trim, paint and finish, wheels… wow!

Thanks bud. I enjoyed working on this one. It certainly is a unique vehicle… like a spaceship on wheels. :^)
