70 Sting

Beautiful build. ?

Great looking build with a very nice colour scheme.

I picked one up at a model car show/flea market in Toronto earlier this year. Even the guy I bought it from said “These are getting hard to find.” Good luck with your search.

Looks nice Grumpy. Makes me want to start that kit next. ?

Beautifully built. Great colour and photography. ? I built one in white a number of months back. Was my first Tamiya kit… practically builds itself.

That looks fantastic. Great weathering, love the license plates inside.

Skills are diminishing, eh? Can only imagine how nice your older builds look.

Great looking Vette. The extra care and detail paid off.

Saw your post on Instagram and it looks even better here. Don’t think the kit can be built any better than this. ?

Super clean, show quality build. ?

Great looking car and the colour suits it very well.

Good call… totally works on that car. ?

So smoove. ?

That’s pretty sweet. Did you lower the stance? Might have to get me one of these.

I could take a bite out of that candy apple.?

You get what you pay for with Alpha Models and you’ve done the kit justice with your clean build and beautiful paint. ?

Real nice, great engine!

I often wonder how others build. I know some are easily distracted (squirrel) with many started and unfinished kits while others have a ‘shelf of doom.’ 99% of the time I start one kit and stay with it until completion. Your method appears to maximize bench time. Your last two sentences really resonated with me… hoping you are not alone under unfortunate circumstances. Covid and it’s affect on work/life balance has been an eye-opener that has made me… well, you said best above. ?

I like police cars… as long as they’re not in my rear view mirror. Another nice build Grumpy. Would you say you complete one model per month?

Those aren't my prints, those are from the designer here are my prints. Your parts look good to my untrained eye. Along with the tips from Spike, I’m looking forward to working with them.

Hi Charles, I suppose I wasn’t very clear, I was referring to the photos here - in particular the rear right photo in grey primer. Spike has done a fabulous job with your parts. In fact, I placed my order earlier this afternoon. :^)

Thanks for the detailed reply Spike. Looks like it was worth blending the fenders to the body as it eliminated the bolt-on look which I find kind of weird on some kits.

My first ‘32 built in October of this year - painted Mr. Color Mr. Metal Violet Metallic GX207 over Tamiya LP-1 Gloss Black and clear coated with Mr. Color GX100. Had a few fitment issues, however I’d build another one. :^)

Good lookin' Vette, nice finish.

Haven’t seen one built like this before… looks great - body and engine!
