Beautiful! I'm getting ready to try my hand at the Foose Impostor, and would love it if it came out half this good!

Just beautiful! One of these days I'm going to figure out how you pro builders get the sheen so perfect on the various parts. I love the gloss on the fenders, then the semi-gloss on the interior, and the matte finish on the fabric top.

Fantastic job!

Just incredible! I love the paint, the customization, and the stance.

What a little beastie. I love it!

Super cool. I saw the one used in the movie at the Petersen Automotive museum some years ago, and it had to be two blocks long! Nice build.

Sweet ride, and perfect slightly nose-up stance this era Mustang is known for.

No wonder Francis' work is so equisitely intricate. A little investigation has revealed he is in fact a bit under three inches tall and has been working at 1:1 scale this whole time! Wonderful job nevertheless Sir. ?

Low and mean, I like it! I almost enjoy throwing leftover parts together from different kits more than stock builds - - - it's so liberating to let your imagination loose!

I had a chance to drive one of these a few times when I was working at Speed Vegas, and it compared excellently to the Huracan, 488, GT3, etc. and didn't cost nearly as much. The electric motors to the front wheels gave it a very neutral balance which was a joy in the corners. Your model is an excellent rendition of this great car.

The whole car is awesome, but the gauges are a highlight for me. How did you get that level of detail? Was it decals, detailing kit, or just hours with a tiny brush?

Rich, I just got a part from them in Germany, and it took three weeks - so there is hope

Awesome stance and color choices. I would totally drive that car!

Phenomenal job!

Man oh man, this project is off-the-scale cool!

Awesome job. I'm getting ready to do one as well (as a matter of fact, I may do two - considering there are just about enough extra parts in this kit to accomplish it). It's interesting that you didn't wire the engine - I personally think that's the right decision for this particular build. I find that too many details actually look cluttered or out of place on some models.

Throw some cherry bombs on the exhaust, and I'm right back to the 70's. Fantastic work!

Perfect patina. The paintjob probably took longer than the assembly

Yup

Felicitazioni Giovanni! I love everything about your model; the detail, choice of materials and textures, and its history. Well deserved award!

Stingaree is way cool too! I'm new to this forum, so I had not seen it when you first posted it. Thank you.

Okay, now I need to know more about that awesome green car in the photo

Thanks much for the tips Charlie. The brush on ones are run-of-the-mill Testors paints - some old and others brand new. The spray paints are Rust-o-leum and Tamiya. Tomorrow I'm going to buy a dehydrator for painted parts and see if that helps. I'll also get another humidity gauge to double-check the house. I'm also going to try your suggestion and add a little lacquer thinner on the next batch of painting.

Apparently there is a real version of the car I built for sale. I'm including the photo in case it inspires anyone here.
