Walked over to my neighbors shop today to check out his 69 Camaro SS he's had since he was 18. I'm guessing he's 60+ now. He said, " I have something for you.", and handed me this along with a Testors paint pack and some glue. Later-

"Trailer Park Limo-inspired" Lincoln Continental "Ranchero"
Modlbldr replied to JTalmage's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Jesse, That is looking cool! I think Oldcarfan's comments hit the nail on the head as to the flow of the lines. You need to get back on this! It will be a great complement to your 60 Continental. Later- -
That looks nice! It has some good lines. Great color too. Later-

Tamiya Nismo R34 Gt-R Z-Tune (first car build)
Modlbldr replied to super_average_gunpla's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Your work is looking excellent! Nicely detailed. This is a great kit to build. I did one about 4 yrs ago. Sprayed it with some dark purple nail polish. Loved it! Later- -
Please do! And if your friend wants to trade it off, please let me know. The 53 is one of my favorites and you were headed in the right direction. I'm serious. If he wants to trade it, I'm in! Later-

Very nice details on Rusty and Rolly. Great backstories too. A theme always helps make the build. Great work! Later-

Well, I have been working on this one again over the last couple of days. I really want to get this thing done! It's been far too many years in the box. I dug it out on Friday and wet sanded the minimal bit of orange peel it had and threw a fi al coat on it. Waiting for it to dry really good and I'll wet sand and BMF it.before hitting it with clear. I did a detail of black on the gauge panel. I finally found a crab style distributor for the engine so tonight I began the plug wires. That's about all for now. Later-

I may go with the original color I picked. Just not sure yet. The.floor will not be too visible but the rear window is pretty good sized. Besides, I've wanted to try this for a while and I don't have any pickups in the queue to do it on. You know i love that color, but I've got that Firebird to do the Fathom Green on. Thank you all for the input. I appreciate it. Later-

I'm having second thoughts about the paint color this morning. However, I'm not sure what to go with. Any suggestions or photo examples welcomed. Thinking about a dark maroon with decals similar to this. Later-

Did a bit more on this last night. Fixed the driver's side drip rail by adding a strip of styrene a d sanding it to shape. Sorted out some tires and wheels for it and I think I've settled on a color. It is Testors Sunrise Red Pearl over Bright Platinum to darken it just a touch. Also started making a wood bed for it. Although, as I'm thinking about it this morning, a wood bed doesn't make much sense. But it's a custom, right? The wood will get stained and the brass rails will get chromed. I still need to do some clean up on the body and scribe some lines for a rear lift gate. Later-

I picked up these Square Bodies and a couple Broncos with the kits I got last Saturday at the model show I went to. I've taken an interest in the Square Body style lately. Lots of potential and work here. Later-

You got a nice one there. Nice clean up too. Mine is molded as your other one is. Later-

Thanks guys for your interest. I'm making slow progress on this. Trying to get ready for a visit from family. I have managed to get the gaps closed up on the hood and trunk. Hopefully they won't be too tight now. Later-

David, It looks very nice and you've accomplished quite a bit in 7 days. It looks like only another couple of stints at the bench and this one will be complete. Great job! Later-
-
This is turning out quite nice. I like the weathering you've done and I agree that the decals definitely add to the interior. Great idea of doing the 7 day challenge. I think all of us get bogged down in a build and they stall out, never to be finished. Many just a couple short bench sessions from completion. I did a 24 hr build challenge last year and built the GTO drag car in 17 1/2 hours. It turned out better than many of my builds that I spent months on! So, in short, "Good on ya!" Later-

Here is the one I have. Had to take a screen shot from some site since mine is still packed away. This was the first one I got years ago. Later-

Which version do you have? I have this stock one and a racing version. Later-
