You are getting the overall vibe correct . you could get all crazy and all that but I suspect when it is done it will be a dead ringer.

How nice is that? Great color choices.

Also a fan of VGG and this is spot on. Like someone else said. It's all the little things.

Now THAT is an absolute beauty! Wowzers....

These modern FE cars have all the bells and whistles their older siblings didn't have so they are a detailers dream. Add to that your skill set and we get this killer digger. End result is gonna be off da hook.

Thanks guys, this kit was far better in overall quality than I expected. This is one that eluded me back in the day and the reish is a welcome addition to my digger and Garlits collection.

Maybe a light on? Cool build...

Stunning!

My all time fave year Caddy. A real stunner of a kit I did not know existed.

Beautiful build..

It's got the tude. Well done.

Your mods are excellent. One of the best I have seen as far as accuracy. You are nailing the vibe.

Looking totally killer...

All of Tim Boyd's postulating about FE diggers got me amped up so I dropped my current project of some Warhammer 40K figures to throw down on this kit. It is largely done but why not share what has been accomplished up to this point. Scratched up a better mag as well as a K valve and hat distribution. Threw on some ignition and it's a party. The decals are super nice and thin and relatively tough enough for my rather clubby mitts. I would say I am at the 90% mark. This as far as this wip session goes but thanks Tim for inspiring me to rip into this kit. One more digger on the shelf is always a good thing as my Garlits collection continues to grow.

I did not know that. Thanks for dropping that knowledge. I am gonna check that boxing out.

Is no one going to remark on Evil Iron being reissued? I believe that was a one and done from back in the day. Those big trike kits were always something I drooled over but never got until one Cristmas saw my aunt Claire give me a Dragon Fire. I for one hope they dig em all out.

Harry would have been over the moon. He loved him some brass era cars. Nice collection, and yes some close ups would be nice.

Looks like The Rattler molds have been found. It will take some work but the bones are here. Who knows what else Atlantis has. They are going to announce 15 new kits next week. Yes, 15!

Gorgeous...

Exhaust are getting gloss black for some Alclad chrome. But I was so stoked that the finish line was in sight. Various Vallejo and Citadel acrylics used. The little fly got put on some thin wire and he floats there. I realize he is tough to see. No airbrush on this one. 100% brush on paint.

Seriously nice decal work. This and the CLK are in my stash but I keep avoiding them.

Stunning at every angle.

Well played. By the looks of it the competition was heavy duty.

I' m Chevy guy with a weakness for 67/68 sports roof Mustangs. But this is one I would not hesitate to drive anywhere. Stunning build.

Outstanding Cruzer! Great color choice and execution.
