Your Porsche is gorgeous. You did a great job, and the colour choices are spot on. The effort to get it together really paid off. Nice work!

Looking great so far. I have been wanting to do a '64 Lightweight for some time now. I'll be watching this one.

Beautiful Ferrari! I love the 250 LM, and you have done a fantastic job building this one. Nice detailing. This kit builds up better than I thought it would. Well done.

That is a gorgeous Lotus. Your hard work in taming the stance paid off well, as you have captured the essence of the Lotus nicely. Nice work on the details. Simply beautiful.

Cheers Paul. The car ID is the one bit I know.

How do we play?

Very cool! I'm digging the period vibe and this is one of the best applications of white wall slicks I've seen yet. Love it!

That thing is freaking cool! Nicely done.

Very nice! Both have that great 70s vibe. Love the colour on the Dart.

Oops! Yup, me too.

Very cool indeed. This is the baddest looking Mopar I've seen in quite awhile. I love it.

The 390 in the AMT 67 Comet (and presumably the 66 Fairlane) has valve covers with the Power By FORD script. The Valve covers are way wrong for a Windsor, but with a little surgery a piece of the 390 valve cover with the script could be grafted into a nice Windsor valve cover.

It's a bit of a chicken and egg scenario, though. The desired improvements cost money. As far as incentive goes, this is a hobby not an essential service. We are all here for the pure enjoyment of it. The fact is if we wish to continue this enjoyment, some revenue must be generated. Therein lies the incentive.

Coolest looking 57 I've seen in a long time.

Yeah, but the shipping is free.

Yes, yet another legend gone. We are losing them at a rapid pace lately. Sad. Thanks John, and rest in peace.

Thanks for the review. I recently bought some of this stuff but haven't tried it yet. I needed a black wash with a finer pigment than the thinned flat black or semi-gloss black I have been using. This looks like it might do the trick.

I'm interested in seeing what it is like airbrushing this stuff. I wonder if it will be like a more user friendly Alclad II. I'm going to keep an eye out for an affordable source of a bottle of the replacement ink so I can give this a try.

Fantastic. A great looking build and very convincing weathering. That thing is flat out cool.

Very nice build. It has a very authentic look, the body looks like sheet metal. Cool.

This guy needs to work on cleaning up the mold lines

Been doing that for about the last 35 years, since I was about 10 years old. I do it to every model I build since. Although buying and selling built kits is something that never occurred to me then, I knew I wouldn't live forever and thought it would be cool if my name lived on in the models that I built. Kind of a legacy thing I guess. With the advent of the internet and online model communities, its an even better idea because it's quite likely that someone who knows of you will someday end up with some of your builts, so now when I build a kit my screen name goes on there too.

If chrome parts are going to be handled a lot during a build, I paint them with a coat of Micro Scale liquid mask. Especially useful when modifying chrome wheels or using a dremel to open up a chrome grill. When the part is ready to install, I just peel off the mask and the chrome underneath is as good as new. This would probably work on some painted finishes as well.

Great video. I'm in love! My ex would have shoved that camera... well, it wouldn't have been comfortable.

That's an awesome collection of vintage drag kits there Shane. I never even knew Revell made a Maverick Funny. Cool stuff.
