  1. Very nice build. I think that's the first one I've seen built stock. I really like the green with black fenders. Well done.
  2. That's a beautiful build. Very clean, well designed, excellent craftsmanship. Very vibrant yellow glossy finish.
  3. Jeremy, Curtis, Garry, Steve, Doyle, Bill, Mathias, and David, thank you all for the very kind words.
  4. Thanks Tom. House of Kolor has beautiful and very vibrant golds and silvers in their paint line. They're great as base coats for their Kandy Kolors, or stand alone Kolors by themselves.
  5. This is a pretty easy kit to build. I actually built this about 10 years ago but only recently finished final details. Pros: Easy assembly, nice rendition of the Camaro, it looks like a Z/28 when complete. Once the body is prepped, it's ready for primer and paint. That simple. Pretty decent interior, T-tops which some like, some don't. I don't care for them in a kit but that's a personal preference. Chassis and engine detail is fairly simple but with a little work and detailing they look pretty good. Nice decals in different colors. Cons: As stated, a simple kit without a lot of detail, however, it's still worth building. Front fascia doesn't fit very well, and I decided to mold it in which gives it a more finished look. Engine compartment lacks detail, with no separate parts (brake reservoir, battery, etc.) and because of that, I just added wires and hoses and called it finished. What is there isn't accurate. I couldn't resist painting the engine Chevrolet Engine Orange, although I think by this point in the car's life they were painted Corporate Blue. Details: I airbrushed the build in House of Kolor Solar Gold over light grey primer, with House of Kolor Klear, then polished. Interior was painted Testors enamel flat beige. I think it was Radome Tan with a little white added from their former military range. Wheels and tires are Fujimi items I'd had in the stash for some time. Not my most detailed build but it was easy and fun to work on and makes a nice shelf model.
  6. Very nice build. Black is difficult to get right but yours looks great, well done.
  7. Beautiful yellow, nice and bright, excellent build.
  8. Very well done conversion and the car looks beautiful in that color. Nice and low and looks fast sitting there.
  9. Outstanding Michelle. Very cool build. And that Nano skin? I want it, lol. I like the figure too. All around excellent stuff.
  10. I really like this build. A friend had one of these for a while, real fun car. Your replica is excellent. And your photography and background are superb.
  11. Excellent dune buggy. These things were so popular back in the day. Yours is very well done, excellent color and detailing all over.
  12. Very nicely done. Excellent rendition of a base model Chevelle. Well done weathering of the engine too.
  13. Well done build. I remember when these tuner kits first came out. I agree, they go together nicely. Yours looks great in white and the wheels really add a lot, good choice.
  14. Very well done, black with red interior is a winner every time.
  15. Nailed it. Gorgeous Rolls, superbly done.
  16. Outstanding. Simply a beautiful replica. Big Daddy would have approved. I agree with Bill, best build of this kit I've seen.
  17. Very well done, it looks good in white.
  18. Outstanding build. Looks beautiful in red, and excellent detailing.
  19. That gold color really makes it pop, well done.
  20. Looks great in gold. Nice vehicle.
  21. Very nice and the color looks good with the black interior.
  22. Looks pretty darn good to me. Testors enamels are easy to airbrush but not so easy out of the rattle can. I really like this build and I agree with the others. Don't strip it, leave it as. Very well done.
  23. I like all three. Very well done.
  24. Excellent Ferrari, very nicely detailed. The engine is beautiful.
