Thanks, Corey, and Luke. Yes, INSPIRATION IS A TWO WAY STREET. LOL! My templates arrived today, so I am good to go in terms of starting the painting process.

Glenn, I saw it for the first time the other day. Great song and great video and certainly a great ride. To get a finish like that I would work with fine silver metallic and then use a darker shade to fog in some panels, give it a little variety of color around the edges. Then you can be subtle with the weathering. Good luck.

Thanks for sharing, Corey.

LOL, it's done, my friend, and you can see pictures of it over in UNDER GLASS (Pick up section).

Very true, Andrew. I will have visuals veery shortly. Yes indeed.

The first disposable car. A car designed to finally change cars every six months.

Love the pattern of the interior. The whole build is well unified and executed.

Bart, I have too, but the time has come to do something with it, and I hope it ends up being something interesting. You should get yours cranking too.

I see, I see, interesting. This meant something else at Mardis Gras time. :lol:

YOU ARE ON A ROLL, Luke. Great models in your collection and this one is no exception.

It's Nikola Tesla Monday here in the Lab-RAT-ory. We have started a new build, and a new project that's inspired by two people from history: Nikola Tesla and Leo Theremin--yes, they both played quite a bit the role of the mad scientist in their laboratories (wow, I've gotten so used to spelling that word my way, the norm looks weird to me. LOL!) Tesla is fueling quite a few paint and graphic ideas for this build, and THEREMIN is playing in the background to help with the images of electricity, etc . . . Anyway, the build is just in its very early stages. I smoothed the body, cleaned the parts. Got everything so far ready for primer and paint, which should start sometime tomorrow. I have fallen in love once again with a new kit, this time the 68 Charger (Special Edition) by Revell. I got two, but think I will need a few more. This build was also inspired by COOL HAND's (Luke's) 69 Charger which he posted recently. That model is still worming its way into my imagination. I hope you will all feel free to post some of your own versions of this kit on this thread as a way to share your inspiration with me, in particular those of you who have built smooth, sleek, and modern custom renditions of this kit. I am look forward to a great deal of fun, so let's all share the eye candy. More progress soon.

Oh man, that's a beautiful model. Great job and thanks for taking pictures of it outdoors so we can enjoy it's true color. What kit did those wheels come from? Love it.

Definitely my kind of build. I love it. Great progress. Looking forward to more eye candy.

Wonderful build, I like the color.

Outstanding job. Love the paint. It's a fine fine model.

Cute as a button. Nice job. Different subject matter.

Nice build going, Drew. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Welcome to the forum, and beautiful work in progress. I am using those same wheels on the VW bus. Do you know where they are from?

Yes, it is.

Very nice, Rob. Great to see you are settling in. Very nice.

Thanks, Tom.

Wow, that doesn't sound good. Looking forward to the pictures.

Very nice effect.

Yes, eye candy, please.

Nice.
