  1. Thanks for posting. Such an icon. Been wanting to build a model of this since I was a kid.
  2. It's not a great kit, but I have a feeling your build will be one of the nicest done from it.
  3. I use a pipette with a small tip to apply kicker. Helps to put the stuff where you need it, and provides some degree of control over where it goes.
  4. Three beautiful Jags. What a gorgeous collection of sporting machinery. Love the colour choices on all three, and all are cleanly built. Very nice, thanks for posting. I have the XK120 on the bench as a stalled project that I really need to get back to. I see the bonnet on yours fits as well as mine. Nothing I did made it fit satisfactorily, so I glued it shut. Otherwise a surprisingly good kit. I’ll mount that nicely done Jag six on a stand. The XKEs are at the top of my ‘want’ list.
  5. Very nice!
  6. That’s some good looking weathering.
  7. I love the long, lean look of these Pontiacs. I really like the paint. A very interesting colour. Cool build. Nicely done.
  8. That is coming along beautifully. The engine is gorgeous. Nice weathering. Everything is looking great.
  9. It's coming along nicely. That engine/trans assembly is looking good.
  10. Wow, very cool! I always thought the Corvair Monza showcar was particularly interesting. Nice clean work on this one. I don't recall ever seeing one of these built before. Is this a plastic kit?
  11. If the glue doesn't go right to the window edge, you may be able to save the glass by carefully grinding away at the heavily glued portion with a dremel to free the unglued bit. Between grinding and using a hobby knife, you may be able to save enough of the glass to re-use. Of course, if the glue is heavy enough to have spilled out into the window opening, this won't work.
  12. You know, somewhere there must be a Back To The Future Doc Brown figure that could be converted into a Jim Ignatowski.
  13. Don't know how I missed this one. Beautiful Aston Martin. I really dig the DB4. I really need to build one of these. I love the colour, and the bumperless look. Your trials have paid off handsomely. I have a file of about 1500 car photos from the net that runs on slideshow on my model bench as project inspiration, and among them is a black DB4 without bumpers. It looks so cool, much like yours, and every time the photo pops up, I think I need to build one.
  14. Great save. Fine looking GTO. It must have been a bear getting the roof pillars sorted.
  15. My '74 and '78 Pinto has it as well.
  16. Oh yeah, that's cool. Nice job adding life to a simple kit. Lovely replica of a very cool and historic MG. I love it!
  17. That's really neat. What a great looking taxi, and cool setting, too. Nicely done.
  18. Sharp looking Merc. I quite like that colour. It works well with those sleek lines. I really should pick up one of these kits.
  19. A very handsome Model A.
  20. Luke, Curt, You are quite welcome. Thanks for the kudos. Much appreciated. Charles The fire truck panel looks terrific. Very nicely done. I find many uses for the thin aluminum rings, though like you, lately I've been using them less for gauge bezels if there is enough room in the dash for fitting gauges made from aluminum tube. I'm getting good results with the larger gauges, but still struggling with decent results on the small gauges. The photo below is the un-pretty side of the Europa dash shown at the end of the main post.
  21. Nice looking Pontiac. I really love that shade of gold. Cool stuff.
  22. That's one mean looking Chevelle. Nicely done.
