Looks damn fine!! Love it..

Nice work from the province that gave Canada two of it's finest icons : Gilles Villeneuve and Guy LaFleur!!!

Thanks for sharing, love these old AMCs....

Love these vintage Grand Prix racers. Excellent work on this model.

This is gonna be the thread to watch. Lot's of part available for the Deuce and other hot rods. PS: Did you ever finish the 1/8 build?

Looking sharp!!!

Thanks kindly, I will eagerly await your experience with the 3D scannner.

Love the Ed Roth/Rat Fink style...

This is going to be an awesome build. When your finished you should post some images to Jalopy Journal's HAMB forum weekly Friday art show. I participate in the weekly art show perhaps 15 to 20 times an year so I'll be watching for it.

Cool ride...

Tore the shrink wrap off and opened the kit. The decal sheet is tiny, only 1.5 inches x 3 inches. Never saw a decal sheet so small. I did scan and it's ready for you. Send me your e-mail add via this site's messaging.

I will open the box and scan in the decals for you. Should I post them here in this forum, in this thread? And to clarify, you are building the convertible but want the decals for the Victoria, correct?

I painted the body with Krylon Short Cuts "Forever Blue" which I believe is enamel.

Explain's why I have not seen an issue at Chapters or other newstands in over an year in Halifax. Collectible Automobile (bi-monthly) and Rodder's journal are the two car magazines I still purchase. I would like to see Rodder's Journal as a bi-monthly instead of quarterly.

That's a lot of work which you pulled off like a pro. Did you ever finish the car?

Beautiful looking C1 Vette...

Anyone else scanning models either via 3D scanners or photogrammetry?

I have the Lindberg 1953 convertible and sedan versions of this model. They are still shrink wrapped and unopened but I will gladly open the box and scan the decals if you wish. Are these two kits ithe exact same kit but issued separately by AMT and Lindberg? I purchased these about 20 years ago at Mardens in Bangor, Maine. At the time I also purchased the Lindberg 1935 Auburn, The Hawk 1/8 scale Hemi engine, two Testor's 1/18th scale metal kits - Packard Towncar and Lincoln Zephyr. Hope to tackle these someday.

I did my first paint on a scale model car in 25 to 30 years. About 25+ years ago i started to assemble the MPC 1960 Flipnose Corvette but got side tracked by life. And at the time I needed to do some upgrades on my real life 1960 Corvette. A few weeks ago I decided to give my attempts at 3D modeling cars a bit of a rest and started to work on my MPC Flipnose. All the parts were present but a tire got welded to the hard top roof resting in the box over time. Did not know this could happen. I now place my parts in zip lock like bags. I primed the body with Rustoleum grey which seemed to take close to 2 weeks to dry. It was very humid in August. Last week I put a few coats of Krylon Short Cuts "Forever Blue" on the car and did some light sanding to remove some orange peel. Testors spay paints and bottle paints are in very short supply at the 3 local Michaels stores. A sales clerk about Tamiya paints believes Michaels never carried this line. We do have three other local model stores, but they are downtown, where a lot of the street parking meters were removed to give way to bike lanes. So parking in downtown Halifax is very limited. I believe the Krylon is enamel. Michaels sells Krylon arcylic clear. I can also purchase Rustoleum clear from Canadian Tire. Reading a few threads here by Dragownhwak1066 got me interested in acrylic craft paint as I do own a compressor and a few air brushes. So I purchased several bottles of acrylic paint from Michaels, Dollarama and Wallmart. So I picked up a 2 oz bottke of Decoart's DuraClean Gloss varnish. Of my options Decoart, Krlon or Rusloleum, Pledge floor polish which clear would you recommend? And if none, could some recommend a good clear coat? Is it wise to use acrylic clear over enamel if the intent is to protect the paint from chipping or scratching? Thanks kindly and many cheers from Nova Scotia....

Nice build for sure...

Fantastic project....

What primer did you use? Loving your thread...

Superb work....
