Very cool!

Lovely dragsters. Love the simple, aggressive look of an unblown, injected Hemi with short stacks. Very cool. Nice detailing around the front axel and steering. Excellent.

A number of things, I guess; - You need a part that doesn’t otherwise exist. (Where do you get a stock steering wheel for a 72 Pantera? You make it) - Superior quality and authenticity over existing after market or kit based alternatives. (Pre-wired distributors... nuff said) - The pride and satisfaction of doing it yourself. (Opening the hood to display all that cool PE, resin, and 3D print is really a show of how well you fitted someone else’s work) - Biggest reason; it’s fun! Those are my personal reasons for scratch building. Not knocking anyone else’s methods. There are much faster and easier ways sometimes, but in this way I can take full pride in the work I create.

Very impressive. Great use of textures and washes. This is going to look awesome.

Very nice! You’ve done a great job on this one. One of the more interesting cars and drivers of the era. I have one of these kits in the stash, along with a couple other Protars, but haven’t built one yet. I am glad to see it builds up nicely, though from what I hear of Protar, there must have been a lot of work to get one looking as good as yours.

Looking good, Dan. Question: did you catch the upside down nose badge before the first clear coat, or after? ?

Well, you sure came out swinging. Beautiful work. Excellently clean detailing. Outstanding!

That’s a sad commentary on the human condition.

Nice Bentley. The blue looks good. Well done. I really need to pick up one of these.

Cool Dart. You captured the look well. Nice detailing.

The Fujimi 15” Borani wheel/tire set is pretty nice.

Beautiful Duesey! Very elegant.

Wow! That’s looking great. Nice save.

Very useful link. Thanks for posting.

Excellent weathering. Very realistic. Coolest build I’ve seen of this kit.

If you have issues with decals laying down, you may be in need of decal solvent rather than setting solution. In MicrcScale terms, that would be MicroSol instead of MicroSet.

BIN, as a buyer. No time for auctions. If I want it, I buy it. If it’s an auction, I pass.

That thing is wicked cool. Very nice build.

Very nice work. It’s going to be cool.

Tamiya has some nice washes called Panel Line Accent. They are available in black, grey, and brown. They are enamel, so not recommended to use over other enamels. I frequently make a wash by mixing acrylic black with alcohol, about 10:1 alcohol to paint. You cane make it more thin or less thin to suit your purpose. Gloss black makes a smoother flowing wash , but flat black often makes for a better appearance when dry, depending on application.

Very cool! Great weathering. The cab may seem overly rusty, but it this neck of the woods it’s well within reason. I like it, great work.

Cool Charger!

What a gorgeous pair of old Fords. I love the style on both of them, and nice colours too. Very cool!

Great work! Interesting process. Very creative.

Good looking Mustang. Nice paint work, and love the colour.
