Cunningham Corvette from Historic Racing Miniatures! Neat resin trans kit, needs the Monogram 1958 Corvette doner. Looks really good, will be on the bench soon.

Lots of good advice here. Other than a smooth finish, one technique that makes the job easier is as Steven said, do it in sections!

All I can add to this is to be sure the area you are foiling is as smooth as you can get it. Any roughness in the surface will show up and ruin the chrome effect. 2-3000 grit and even polish the area. Just as you would the paint job. good luck

Peter, are you the one that built this model, I have always admired it.

I’m sorry to about your bad news Dave. I admire your perseverance and wish you the best in the future.

Well done! That had to be a heck of a ride!

Looks really good.

Great job. It is really impressive seeing all the scratch work you’ve done. The bonus is all the techniques you’ve shown. Thanks!

Sorry to hear this. I really enjoyed your input on my builds. Keep in touch as you said, best wishes and prayers.

Looks really good Gary, good move on the body sills. Gives it a much better appearance.

I have (like everyone else) 1000 kits. Planes and cars. Because over the years, I just had to have that “one more kit”. I got old and wanted to sell most of them off. The “I buy collections” people al offer me a flat $10.00 a kit. Heck, I’d rather donate them. I see the prices everyone quotes, but I just can’t get int ebay.

Absolutely beautiful design and execution! The crispness and accuracy are astounding.

I followed this entire build Daniel. Everything about it most impressive! Following your progress was vert enjoyable and I picked up a few pointers along the way. Fine job!

Glad you’re back! Stay healthy and send the pictures!

Yes, I now document in a notebook as I progress along the build. I started this because when I needed to duplicate a color, say like on a carburetor or chassis/suspension parts, the old memory just wasn’t good enough.
