It's coming along nicely. Love the colour. I built one of these back in the day and it was one of my favourite models on the shelf at the time. I had forgotten how short that chassis is. I have one in my stash now, and been thinking of putting an AMX body on it.

It looks like the standard Testors product and labelling that I've known for at least ten years or so. The page says Testors. Worst product labelling ever, though. Even with reading glasses and good light I find the label nearly impossible to read. Without glasses, it's impossible. Why do you think it is not Testors?

I find the 1 mm and 2 mm both useful, though like Les, I usually apply it with a brush. I mostly use the refill bottle instead of the pens, but it is quite expensive.

Very nice Valiant. That has to be about the nicest build of this kit I’ve seen. I have a clean, unpainted built-up of this kit, and I wasn’t sure a stocker as good looking as yours could be built from it. Very well done.

Cool project, Bill. I have an upcoming project using the same kit. I’m interested in watching yours come together.

Beautiful custom, and I love that paint. Nice smooth style and really digging the front end. Lovely model.

Very nice! Beautiful, clean work and cool subject. I like!

Looking good. That mock up is killer. I always had a soft spot for the old Revell Chevys.

That’s looking real good, Steve. Digging the colour combo.

Great story, and incredible reconstruction. Your recovery of the body seems impeccable. Lovely Olds, and a very rarely seen kit at that. Beautiful work, thanks for posting.

Nice kitbash. The big block Chevy looks right at home. A good looking build, despite the issues. Well done.

Cool Cunningham! I never knew this kit existed. Nice, clean work. Well done.

Good looking Buick. It's nice to see these alternative body styles. The gold & white work well with this body. Nicely done. On another note, I have now discovered the reason for the world Avanti shortage.

Very promising result, Greg. I think this is a great idea and it seems to work very well. Like the others, my 'go to' method for scripts is foil under paint. However, I think this is a viable option, and there are lots of other applications for this method. Just a couple nights ago I was trying to expose the very fine chrome script from a chrome cam cover painted black. I damaged the chrome plating on three of the very small letters, and had to try to dry brush silver paint to restore them, with lack-lustre results. Your method would have worked much better. Thanks for the tip.

I wondered if anyone else used cat wickers in building. I haven't used them for antennas, but I have found other uses. I use the very end as speedometer and tach needles.

Agreed. Very nice looking springs. The taper looks 'right'.

Very cool! The wood looks great.

Digging it! That’s coming along great.

Looking good, Joe. You laid the clear down beautifully.

That red looks good. I like the sheen on the seats, too.

Nice Merc. Great colour, and nice, smooth paint. Such a classy ride.

Pascal, that was simply outstanding. Your Lotus 43 is beautiful, and I enjoyed the build photos very much. The collection together is stunning. A collection to be proud of. Thanks for posting.

Yes, agreed! Looks fantastic.

Cool Vette, Dave. It has stood well to the test of time.

Nice looking Goat, John. I like the black paint, and the Hurst wheels go perfectly with it. Well done.
