    Looks like this is a 2 jar paint job. I can usually get away with one jar of thinned Testors enamel for an entire car. If it's opaque paint I have a 100% success rate. But candies and metallics like a few more passes. Off to the local Michaels. They have a nice Testors rack and few kits. They are allegedly ramping up the models section. Or so the manager keeps telling me.

    I loved those bands in the day and now also. I love all of it I guess.. When you get down to it, anything driven by a rowdy guitar is enough to get my blood pumping.

    Sage advice brother. The one thing we seem to have ample surplus of in the summer in New England is Sunshine. I'll put it out this AM and leave it there for a couple of hours. Brilliant idea!

    Buncha Metalheads round here.

    That Ozzy lived to 76 is the miracle. Saw Van Halen open for the original Sabbath in 78. Never Say Die tour and Ozzie's last hurrah before being fired. Saw Ozzman so many times. I probably paid for something in his house. Think of how lucky you are. The earth is Billions of years old and you lived in the time of Sabbath, Van Halen and Led Zeppelin. Count yourself fortunate.

    A simple yet attractive kit when a little care is added. Watching 🍿

    I think the Bid King is closer. Even considering what I have to scratch build.

    Beautiful blue hues....

    Inspirational words from Mr Boyd himself. And in the spirit of his words BOTH shall get finished and I'll leave the Bernstein as is. Perhaps a bit of polishing for both, but these are the next two on the block! Thanks TB for the kind and inspiring words. I just got your drag racing models book and have gotten a boost from it. It is comprehensive as well as exhaustively researched. Nitro racing has always been my first love, either in person or in scale. Look for WIP's for both of these cars in the near future.

    Messing around with rust and pigments.

    I'm gonna compound and buff the yellowed area and see if it brightens first. I hope so, as Id rather buff it then strip and start from scratch.

    I made a sort of pact with myself. Every time I crack the cellophane on a new kit, the next one must be an abandoned project from the past. So as I go through boxes I find things that were once front and center, now relegated to also ran. Which do I pick? Both are well on the way. The Bud King clear coat has yellowed. It's no doubt enamel. I have another set of decals, so that makes extra work if I have to strip it. The Jegs car just needs fuel, ignition and assembly What would you do if these were your only options?

    Man that is beautiful. Well played Sir!

    How beautiful is that? Very nice work on a great car.

    Following. I always loved this car.

    Forgot the wheels. Stripped the chrome and went with AK Extreme Metal polished aluminum. Good stuff. Ready to spray, no thinning needed.

    Regular ole flocking. It's on the floor in the interior as well.

    Some progress.

    What a gorgeous build. 3D printing is making possible things we only dreamed of, and this project is proof. I have seen many 3D projects over the last few years, and as I get better with my printer there will come a day when buying files will replace kits. In fact, it's already here.

    Savage combo's brother. Nice clean building style.

    Wish I had at least one pic of my Meme's 69 Javelin. Dark green, wooden steering wheel. Went to see Jaws in the theater in it.
  24. Dragline
    Yeah, common as frogs right.... If it all matches, it was ordered to race no doubt.

    They sometimes do. And when they do, you go with it.
