Looks great, Tony. And good luck with the e-test on the Ranger!

Looks good...just needs a phone booth by the 2CV!!

Cool! Very nicely done!

Love it, G!! Great build!!

Good point...I started doing the same (stirring instead of shaking) a while back along with wiping the top of the jar before putting the lid back on.

I've used the pliers and adjustable wrench on the Testor's square jars. Never had one break, luckily. I have broken the plastic lid from a Tamiya jar. Just an annoyance since it won't seal afterwards! Ziplock bag helped to slow the inevitable drying-up of the paint. A good idea is to wipe the top of the jar of wet paint before putting the lid back on. I believe it is usually dried paint that causes the issue of a stuck lid.

One thing that very few scale models have ever accurately represented...weight. I'd be very surprised if any modeller of any subject would want accurate weight in a kit!! This has been an interesting thread to read through. Thank you all for contributing.

Excellent question indeed...I don't have an answer for you!! Personally, it has to look right overall to my eye. Sometimes "close enough" is good enough for me if it is for my enjoyment. An example would be a particular kit that I built as a kid and wanted to build again. I don't care if it's right...it's nostalgia. Whole different ballgame if I'm building a replica of a specific 1:1 and want it to be right. I don't build many of those!

Coming along great, Ira! Can't wait to see this one get your full attention!!

Clean up the seam, Clay...Otherwise you'll know it's there!

Wow, great job on that one!! Will have to keep an eye out for one!

Outrageous!! Love it!!

Great soldering video, Bill...thank you for that! Looking forward to seeing how the hinges go together.

I have the glass you need as I used the body for a race car. PM me your address and I'll mail the glass to you.

AGREED!! LOL!!!

Came out great, Doc!! Nice and subtle!

Gotta get me a trailer like that one day!! Looks like a nice straight front bumper on that!! You got your work cut out for you on that one, Nick!!

Pretty cool that the same guy did your decals! Awesome!!

Looking good, Ira!!

Nice!! Well done!

Great looking build, Doc!

Check out Factory Five Racing...they sell 1:1 kits (Cobra, 65 Coupe, 33 Ford, etc)...the bodies are plastic, they come in a big box and you have to assemble it yourself or have someone assemble it for you, too!!

Nice! When growing up, my parents had a 67 Falcon 2 door for a while...also with the 6! (It was originally white with blue interior and was painted T-Bird blue at some point for some reason!)

Looks good!

Very nice!
