Dragline

That's what I'm talking about about! This is a finish anyone can be proud of. Well done my Brudda...

The girl has a heart of a Champion. 343 is unreal.

Never knew it existed. We'll done.

Killer. Ace hardware has one. On their website. Really excellent kit. You crushed this.

Lots of oddness here. In a good way. Well done.

Stunning car brother. A little known yet gorgeous car. Your work is impeccable

Big thanks...

Those AMT 67 Chevelle headers are the best. Copies need to be made so I can put em on everything I build. BTW, your project ROCKS!

Just a couple more with the roof on.

They are. And you cannot go over them to look authentic.

My latest...

Ah Hah! You went with the billboard. I was certain about 75% that is what you would do. But you never know. It looks great brother!

This is what is left of 2 bottle of Testors enamel. Thinned with leveling thinner 2:1 When it comes to metallics, it takes two and I knew better. Good thing that the sealer is ultra thin. It's as though it went right over bare plastic it's so thin. I cannot recommend Duplicolor DAP1699 higher.

Yes, I changed the color. I couldn't find another bottle of stoplight red locally. I want this finished sooner than later because I want to start working on my Bud King funny car and that is Uber detailed and needs total concentration. So I had a bottle of the blue and Michaels had another. So I threw them both in a bottle and added lacquer thinner. I had shot the sealer yesterday so it was ready. I think it compliments the interior and I'm happy with it.

Wowsers does that look sweet! You nailed it! Looks totally legit, and where did you get a figure in scale? Boss is a favorite of mine on the show...

The finishes and colors look legit. You are on your way...

Cooler than the other side of the pillow.

I learned to drive in one of these. 4spd manual in the Dartmouth Mall parking lot 1979. My Uncle Steve always favored and indulged me. It was silver with a stripe. I forget the color.

Looking forward to it...

Looking great. Any plans for the sides? A stripe or billboard?

Gorgeous in every possible sense.

I went and looked at the prices of this kit. If you can find one, they are upwards of 150.00 US. You are doing a splendid job.

That's very kind of you brother. Thanks.

A major one. Whoever wrote it knew what they were doing.

Those are great! I wouldn't be surprised if many here are closet mini painters. I know that there is a lot military in the "Other Models" section, with talented builders always showing superb builds. Like your beasties here, they open up different skills and are painted quite differently from any car or truck. The only spraying to be done is primer usually. The airbrush plays a part, but I tend to stick with the brush in the more traditional manner. Are those Ral Partha or D&D creatures? The amount available is truly staggering. And eBay is another source of near limitless 3D and cast resin figures for painting. The world of figures is so huge, it dwarfs (no pun) automotive modeling.
