Just a thought: I once used a piece of day curtain material, finely sprayed black, as mesh. I'm wondering if it could be sprayed with Spaz Stix?

Excellent! Perfect used car look, just the right amount of grime and patina.

Really nice work so far!

This is all looking fantastic.

Janis had more hair - and arms. Just kidding Brizio, I'm sure you'll make it work.

Carl, if you're thinking of getting the Chrysler, the black ones have much nicer paint than the green ones. Here's an Edsel from the series which I did a couple of years ago:

One of a bunch of kits I sold a while back - what was I thinking?

Thanks guys. Rob L, thanks for mentioning the issues you had, good to know at this stage. Tommy, I haven't got to the bumpers and windows yet but I'll keep your comments in mind. This sort of input is very helpful. It does seem to be a very nice kit otherwise.

Wow, simply stunning - and what a cool subject!

It always baffles me how you can turn out such a great looking model in that time. I'd need at least a week just for for the paint!

For various reasons I'm doing a series of cars that don't require me to use my airbrush. Here I'm using the body from AMT's pre-painted kit (which I've polished out and foiled) but nearly everything else is from the normal kit and will be either brush painted or done with a spray can. Unfortunately there's little I can do about the mold lines under the black paint but I've decided not to let that spoil my fun. The tyres are from AMT's recent parts pack. Here's where I'm at with the interior, foil and other details yet to be added. For comparison I've shown the pre-painted kit's interior wall, whose colour is too dark. I sprayed the top of the dash and the package shelf with Tamiya semi-gloss black and the beige is brushed on using a mix of Humbrol colours. You have to thin these paints carefully for them to flow well. More detail to come here too. The engine is basically finished, apart from more plumbing etc. The silver and gold are from Tamiya cans, the rest from Humbrol. More soon.

If you can't wait (or just don't like building models), this 1.24th diecast isn't bad.

Looks great, first class detailing.

A not-so-ratty rat-rod, very cool!

Nice work - I specially like the way you've done the dash and the tail lights.

Wow, I LOVE that colour!

Very nice, pure nostalgia.

Very nice, great paint!

I'm also a Johan fan and I REALLY love what you did with this one.

Beautifully done, love both of them! Did you polish the clear?

Ah yes, a stock '55! Very nice paint and the engine bay looks great too.

Clifford, absolutely gorgeous, like all your work!

Wow, great looking combo!

Looks great, very clean and precise work!

Not the sort of car I'm normally into but no denying the quality of your work, specially the interior - outstanding!
