  1. Not something we see every day. I like it, and your build is very well done.

    Looks great, the red color and interior detailing are really nice.
  3. Very nice, looks really good in yellow.
  4. Very well done convertible. Nice save, beautiful paint, interior and stance.
  5. Excellent build, nicely done.
  6. Looks darned good to me. Shortcomings? None that I can see. Well done.
  7. Outstanding 4-4-2. I always liked these cars. Your refresh came out excellent. Very nice color, your work on the finish is really well done. I commend you for disassembling the build and moving forward with a refresh.
  8. That is so cool, and so period perfect. Your underside detailing is superb, love those cherry bomb glasspak mufflers. But that engine and engine compartment are beautiful. Outstanding mods all around.
  9. I've heard good things about Createx products, both paint and clear coat. Odorless thinner I've never used. I'm not familiar with those chemicals in it but I'm sure someone with greater knowledge will hopefully chime in. If you can't locate a catalyst/hardener locally, you should be able to order it online at any number of vendors. It's great stuff if you like to use enamels.
  10. Very nice build. I really like the color and your detailing is excellent. Great use of disparate parts too. Well done engine compartment.
  11. Stunning color, very well done. With a little work, most snap kits can make great looking models just like you've done.
  12. Gorgeous.
  13. Very nice build David. I like the plain Jane look and the six banger looks great. Well done.
  14. I used to use lacquer thinner when I paint with enamels. Mainly, I use Testors enamels. Lacquer thinner works well, but I discovered Enamel Reducer works a heck of a lot better, along with Enamel Catalyst/Hardener. I thin my enamels with the Reducer just like I would with any other thinner. To the consistency of milk. I leave a little room though, in the airbrush bottle and add an eyedropper full of the Catalyst/Hardener. Instead of a month wait for the enamel to gas out and harden, it's ready to go in 7 days or less. The Catalyst/Hardener increases gloss, increases hardness and considerably reduces dry time. I find that I have less need for a clear coat using this process. I clean the airbrush using cheap lacquer thinner. The products mentioned are Tractor Supply house brand called "Majic". I also use lacquer paints and my thinner of choice is Dupont #3602S. I've never used acrylics to paint a body so I can't offer anything for that medium.
  15. I just looked up and viewed their music video. I have to admit, although they aren't my type of music, that video and song was VERY cool. I like that Charger and especially liked the big 'Ol Lincoln the dude was driving. So thanks for that. ZZ Top (more my era, lol) used to use their custom 32 Ford Coupe in some of their music videos.
  16. Very well done Galaxie. I love that color.
  17. Great work, very nice in that color.
  18. Great work, very well done, nice, clean build.
  19. I really like your Shelby. Your color choice is is not what one would expect on this car but it's top notch and the way it looks in slightly different lighting really makes this build shine. Excellent idea to show different lighting conditions. It looks smashing in direct sunlight. Two thumbs up Steve. ??
  20. Outstanding build. Beautiful color with a white interior. Excellent details all around.
  21. Beautiful build of a very classic auto. Excellent color choices for the exterior and interior. Definitely worth the effort.
  22. Excellent color, I like the white stripes, good choice of music too. Way to go Michelle.
  23. First one of these Jo-Han's I've ever seen built. Beautiful car, very nice build.
  24. Great looking Marauder. The color looks very early 60's, and the interior is a very nice match. Well done. One of my favorite AMT kits.
  25. Not much more I can add except to say your Mustang is beautiful in this color with the white stripes.
