Just catching up on this build. The build is looking seriously good, Bob. Everything looks spot on, Very nice detailing.

Very interesting kit. The Chrysler chassis and engine is perfect for this vintage car. Nice work going on here, looking forward to seeing what comes of it.

That is looking fantastic. Nice work.

Welcome to the forum, Dustin.

Lovely Bentley, Mario. Your efforts have been rewarded with a fine replica. Such cool cars, and your build certainly does them justice. Very well done. I have been wanting to get one of these kits for years. I would love to attempt to tackle one.

That's one sharp looking Buick. Nicely done.

Francois, that is some mighty fine model work. This is going to be a fantastic build.

But, how will the forum generate operating revenue?

I just noticed that 'member's location' has been removed from below the name on their posts, and wondered why? I often check to see where a member is from, as it provides context to their comments, and valuable context to the build itself. Also, the hobby, and therefore the forum being global, it is interesting to see where people are from, to see where model car building is being done. The 'location' feature often provides an element of interest to many posts. Is there a reason for the location being removed? And, will it return? - Curious in Nova Scotia

I, too, would like to say that I appreciate just how well this site looks and works. It's always a pleasure to do my daily tour of the site. The staff and maintainers are to be commended for a job very well done. Thanks all.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! This is a super cool build, Fabrizio. I have thought about building this same racing set-up of Pete Lovely's VW & Lotus, but suspect it is one I will never get too (there are many of those). I'm glad to see someone create this combo in scale, and especially having done as nice a job of it as you have. Very nice work all around. The tie-downs look great, and you nailed the Lotus' graphics. I love it! Thanks for posting.

Good looking Woodie, Chuck. Nice & tidy. Well done.

Thanks for posting this, Terry. I remember this model well from the old SAE magazine, and the graphics have always left an impression on me. I found it to be simply stunning. Some random things just get stuck in the brain over the years, and this build is one. I thought it was one of the coolest model paint jobs I had ever seen. Curiously, I was thinking of it just the other day when looking at some nail art decal floral designs, and thinking they would make for neat low-rider graphics, which got me thinking about your very cool paint work once again. It is very interesting to see it now, in colour, after all these years. The detailed photos allow me to see just how lovely this paint work really is. The pink is much darker then I imagined. To this day, it remains one of the my favourite model car paint jobs ever. Thanks again for posting this. I am very glad to see it.

Welcome to our little sandbox, Jay. Cheers.

Welcome to the forum, Francois. Looking forward to seeing your Bentley project when you get around to it.

Sweet collection of Lambos. Really digging the LP400. Nice clean work and great paint on all. Very nicely done.

Extremely well sold. Timing is everything. In twenty years that car will struggle to hammer for a quarter of that price.

Hello Francois. Sounds like you have lots of varied experience. Your Bently project sounds cool, looking forward to seeing it. You could post your Bently build in the 'WIP: Model Cars' section, or if it is specifically a race car, you could post it in the 'WIP: Other Racing' section. I am unsure about adding links to the photo gallery, someone else will have to field that question. Looking forward to seeing your projects. Cheers.

Welcome, Nebraska Bill. You have found a great forum to indulge your modeling jones. Enjoy.

Welcome to the forum, Jeff. It's a great place to get back into your model groove.

Welcome, Ryan.

Don't know how I missed this one earlier. Nice clean build of one of my favourite cars. The Tamiya paint looks a very close match for the factory paint. I have a couple of these in the stash, and I think it's about time I dug one out. I was keen to own a 1:1, but the prices have risen out of personal range. Very nice work on your build.

Love it! Great colour, lovely patina. Very cool.

Looking good David. Even better that it's not a Hemi. Will be great in orange.
