Neat and tidy build. Verdoro green with white interior trim is a sweet combo. Lots to like with this one. ๐๐ป
-
Sweet looking GTX. Late 60โs was a great era for muscle cars.

Hi Michelle. These are cool cars, these old Falcons. Yours is a great build. The Victorian plates are a nice touch. Nice work. ๐๐ป
-
Thereโs nowhere to hide if your black paint is flawed. This is like glass. Awesome looking Skyline. Iโm painting a 62 Impala in TS- 14 and if it turns out half as good as your Skyline, Iโll be happy. Top notch. ๐๐ป

Nice Olds Michelle. You say it was a rebuild. You certainly gave it a new lease on life, looks great. ๐๐ป

These look great in the high impact colours and yours is certainly no exception. Limelight with white interior looks great. Also, nice to know that this is a well regarded kit as I got this one for Christmas. Top job. ๐๐ป

REVELL 1969 DODGE DAYTONA (yeah, another Charger)
STU111 replied to happy grumpy's topic in Model Cars
Awesome paint, trim colour combination. I always like these with the dog dish style caps and steelies. Sweet looking Daytona. Lots to like here. ๐๐ป -
Thanks for that Steve! Thatโs an excellent tip. Looks great on your Chev in the picture. I didnโt know that tape even existed. Iโm going to have to get a roll of it. Thanks again. ๐๐ป

Ford Falcon XW ute
STU111 replied to Cool Hand's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
My XY Falcon ute kit arrived today. Iโm pretty happy with what l found in the box. Body shape is pretty accurate to my eyes. -
My old HQ Holden was fitted with this strip along the length of the body. A common feature on Aussie cars back in the 70โs, usually dealer fitted, it was put on to ward off car park dents. So, in the interest of building my old HQ as close as possible in scale model form, Iโm going to have to replicate the bump strip.Evergreen styrene strip to the rescue. The original strip as seen in the first picture is chrome with a black centre . Not sure how to go about replicating that, but Iโm sure Iโll come up with something. Next job is cleaning up the body and getting some primer on. Cheers, Stu. ๐๐ป

Gโday Michelle. Thatโs one tuff looking Chevelle. Wheels really suit it. ๐๐ป
-
Thatโs a sweet looking 56! Nice rebuild. ๐๐ป
-
Beautifully built Cougar. Love the period deep offset wheels. Top stuff. ๐๐ป
-
Iโm lead to believe this kit is an older tooling and not great, however, you have turned out a beautifully built model. The modern wheels compliment it perfectly. Well done ๐๐ป

Ford Falcon XW ute
STU111 replied to Cool Hand's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
That first mock up shows the body to be quite nicely proportioned, still waiting for mine to arrive. I like what youโre doing with yours, Iโll be following your progress. ๐๐ป -
Iโll be keen to see what you do with the XW Ute Luke. Iโve ordered the XY Ute. Not sure what Iโm going to do with it yet, nice custom or old bush basher.

This is an excellent build, itโs the clean and simple appearance that makes this l feel. And that paint has a beautiful glow to it. ๐๐ป

Beautiful Shelby Mustang. The modern wheels compliment it nicely. Top stuff.
-
Beautiful work Donald, that colour really suits. That surgical tape you used on the convertible top does give it a nice fabric texture. Top stuff. ๐๐ป
-
Gโday Michael, regarding the window fitting, yeah, Iโm currently building this one and I had to shave a mm off the sides to get the rear screen to sit in the recess in the body. Cheers, Stuart.๐๐ป
-
Iโve got one of these in the stash. Keen to see how yours turns out and to pick up some build tips for when l do mine.๐๐ป
-
Got the interior together, Iโm not too sure about the decal seatbelts, theyโll look ok when itโs all finished and inside the body, but they wouldnโt look any good if it was a convertible. Iโm pretty happy with how it all looks though. Cheers, Stuart.๐๐ป

Medium brown metallic? I know what youโre thinking, did he shoot 6 coats, or only 5? Sorry, Iโll stop now. Seriously though, I am an Eastwood fan and I love a TV/ movie inspired build, so Iโm following this one. ๐๐ป
