happy grumpy

Really nice ride. nice custom treatment. I like what you did on the chassis and inner fenders.

thank you all for the kind words, Steve, The tarp is just facial tissue, the thicker the better, slowly saturated with diluted acrylic paint and mod podge with an eye dropper. As it gets wet you can damage it as you like. When dry I apply washes and dry brushing as needed. Lee, I bought it like 8 years ago it was on sale at UDISCO in Montreal. They have close shop since then. Here in Montreal a typical Italeri 1/24 kit sells for 40 CAD. I haven't seen it in a while though.

My kind of build. Really good weathering. Little details that tell a story. Perfect The beauty of decay.

Now that's the kind of build that inspire me. Everything is right. This is a really beautiful model Steve. Keep them coming.

Every time I see a yellow taxi I automatically think of New-York. I am building right now a yellow cab taxi out of the supernatural kit. Waiting for the wheels from Fireball modelworks. I like the simple set up with minimal details but enough to get the story. Great work Tony. That's a nice looking ford in that yellow livery.

I have a soft spot for rusting vehicles, you did a nice diorama with it, great work and idea.

Nice and clean. I like the monochrome look and color. Perfect color for that era. Great build

My favorite type of car, the unsung heroes, daily driver workhorse, plain jane. There is a lot of work in this labor of love. Great details and color choice. i really like the way you depicted it, nicely maintained with an accurately depicted weathered chassis. Well done.

Beautiful GTX. The white interior contrasts well with the blue. The engine bay looks so real. I like the engine wiring, the cables are scaled correctly. Great work on the details.

My first resin conversion, lil' red wagon as a donor and the body from Jimmy Flintstone. This van reminds me of the villain's vehicle in Batman in the 60's. I always liked that weird look . aside for taking extra steps for painting, it builds up quite nicely. The color is TS 41 coral blue. Thanks for looking

A beautiful kit from Revell. I wish they would offer a sedan version but hey one can hope. the paint is Ts 48 gunship gray which is between matt and semi gloss but the grain is really fine so a little wet sanding and polish and clear coat does the trick. Nothing special, no issues at all. A really fun build. Got a first prize in stock at a local show a few years ago. Hope you enjoy.

Thank you all for the comments. Steve, It was some time ago but I think I used Tamiya TS 35 park green coated with TS 13 clear.

Looks like what modern mad max would drive. Flawless on every count. The wheels and tires really stand out.

A really good kit very well put together. Good choice of color.

Awesome job. everything about it looks just right. The photography is top notch. Museum quality.

Great job on the mustang, nice color and clean build. Eleanor looks good too.

Just as the re appearing hub caps, here is the magic beetle that seemed to follow the charger and the mustang in the streets of San Francisco. Movie editing aside, here is a rendition of the green bug as it appeared in the movie. The plate would not be correct as I could not make the number but a california plate will do. The color is a little lighter than the movie car but , hey ,close enough. thanks for looking,

Let's just say that this kit is not AMT's finest hour. I wish they would have left the original alone I d the 72 front end better. But that's just me. You did a far better job that I did. I built it and put it right back in the box where it will stay. The colors fit it so perfectly. In a nutshell, a beautiful ugly car.?

Welcome to the forum DW

Welcome Jesse, and I join the chorus on foiling. But no pain, no gain.?

Welcome Vern, you'll fit right in. I also like to build box stock and like Zippi, I love fat fenders.

That wet look paint is awesome. Simply beautiful. I have seen several of your cobras and now I want to build one.

Nicely done, I do like the underside subtle weathering. Great job. Nicely detailed . I like it .

The way you photographed it makes it really stand out. Sometimes , showing less is more. Cars can be objects of art. This the case here. Great build and photography.

It looks exactly as it would after a race. I can almost smell the oil and gasoline. This is artistic mastery. You are certainly a master of you art.
