happy grumpy

Great looking 32. I like the satin black treatment and the matching valve covers.

This one is on my soon to get list and seeing how a nice job you did on yours, I might get it sooner. Beautiful color and finish BTW ?

One of my favorite Mustang alongside the 67 and 69. Great job on this one Eric.

Beautiful save. That's a cool looking vette.

super cool chevelle. Beautifully detailed and great job on the livery.

This a really nice build . You did a really good job on this. A little late but warm welcome from a fellow citizen from up north.

Beautiful restauration. It looks just right. great job on an iconic car.

Thanks everyone for the kind words. The background ( or the garage as I call it ) sits right under my TV and is used as, either a background when I take pictures or as a display case . Covered with a removable plexiglass cover when I need the set up. It is made of foam board , corrugated cardboard found in craft stores and clear dvd covers cut to size for the doors. Behind the doors are photographs place at 4 inches from the door to create depth. Next summer I will take outside shots, it is still my favorite background. here is a low quality wider angle shot taken with my old phone. As for paints, If you haven't already give Tamiya spray lacquer a try, they are very forgiving and give really good results. Au revoir et merci pour les bons mots ?

I don't know if the kit is accurate but it builds quite well. Stock from the box. This my second model using the ALCLAD system. Silver base coat, ruby red transparent paint and cleared with aqua gloss clear. Not as easy as Tamiya TS spray cans but I like how it turned out. The only thing is that it attracts dust like no other paint I've ever used before. As soon as I took the photos, it's back in the sealed cabinet.

Welcome Ray, from a fellow canadian.

Welcome aboard Jeff. You'll find a lot of good stuff here.

A lot of work for sure, the reward is a beautiful, unique piece. I like everything about it. Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done T Bird.

Thanks Ray,

This a repaint , it was originally dark blue but the paint turned out really bad so I stripped it and re painted with Tamiya acrylic metallic blue mixed with titanium silver and cleared with TS13. I always liked that boby style, it still looks good IMO. A basic kit but for the shelve it is quite good enough. Windows were tinted with Tamiya smoke. In hindsight, I should have toned down the chrome wheels to make them more Aluminum. regards,

That turned out pretty good. Silver paint will cover everything. I use it whenever I want to paint over colored plastic especially red plastic. Great job.

Beautiful build. the wheels really stand out and the dark color is great. Looks like Tamiya's gun metal.

A really nice kit to build, no issue at all, pictured in a distress but salvageable state, I used different techniques to rust it up and depict a prolonged stay outside in the open. The wiper was intentionally place to depict a broken linkage. Dirt and leaves in the engine bay and a hole in the muffler was added. As always , thanks for looking. regards,

Nice little thing. Great color choice. It reminds me of the ford Bronco. Nice and clean build.?

Simple but effective. It looks really nice.

Great replica. It has a sleeper look. Nice color too.

Great looking duo, we don't see these often.

Great save. Another model saved from the junkyard. Love the color combo

Nice , clean and black. What's not to love. Great job

You may be new here but you're definitely not new in modeling. Really well built and painted model. Thanks for sharing
