1965 Ford GT40 Roadster
Mark W replied to Gramps46's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
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!

Do you make notes/memory aids as you build?
Mark W replied to Mattblack's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
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. -
Early Corvette Grant Sport

Good to see this moving along. Those Halibrands look like they were designed for this car. -
It’s looking very good. Your scratchbuilding skill is top notch. I too would like to attempt this build………someday. All I have now is a body.

Looks good so far Gary, especially the Halibrand wheels and skinny tires! Nice to have found the substitute parts, missing special items can kill a build. -
AMT '53 Corvette Snapper--A Delay In The Proceedings--07/06/2022
Mark W replied to Straightliner59's topic in WIP: Model Cars
What you did with this kit is fantastic. The interior and exterior colors are a perfect choice and the wheels complement them. The many details you’ve done, bumpers, bezels etc look great. Nice job! -
Welcome Michel

I use a curved Xacto blade and rock it back and forth. The you can clean up any nubs with a one edged razor blade on a piece of glass. Works better than slicing.

You’re right, the lead foil looks the best! Is that what you used to connect the intake manifolds on the hemi?

Early Corvette Grant Sport

It will be interesting to see your solution on the roll bar. Information I will need on mine. Didn’t think of the scale, my body is 1/24. -
Early Corvette Grant Sport
Mark W replied to Gramps46's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
An excellent subject. I too have the makings of this early Grand Sport. As a note, this car used the tube chassis as in the Accurate Miniatures kit. The engine you have is correct, along with the aluminum transmission and bell housing. I believe the exhaust manifolds were aluminum also. Your mockup looks pretty cool so far. Cant’t wait to see it with the decals. -
I like the idea of these leather punches. Didn’t know they existed.
-
God start! Really like the doors.

B-61 Mack Dump Done
Mark W replied to Scott Eriksen's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Incredible build! Attention to detail is impressive! -
Nice display, nice cars! What body is that on the dragster?
-
You’re too hard on yourself Yves. It turned out great! I see many details you spent a lot of time on. The stance is good and the hood closes on the engine, a major feat on this kit. I’m working on my third AM kit, familiarity helps.

Great looking Cadillac, would be nice to see it finished.
-
That’s nice! Good colors, good wheels and a good clean build.

1967 Freight Shaker
Mark W replied to J.B. Customs's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
You did great! The best models are the ones with a back story. -
I have never used the spray can. Mainly I airbrush on my model planes, there is a better Vallejo out now called “polyurethane”. It is a great barrier for weathering. I know I didn’t answer your question, but it’s a great product through the airbrush. Pierre hand brushes Vallejo with !excellent! results, I hope he sees this post.
