I go through the same thing. These days, I've pretty much adopted the attitude to just go with it, enjoy the hobby, try to shrug my shoulders at the mistakes.

Nice, very nice build.

Great looking Chevelle.

What a great looking 300SL. We're our own worst critics, I think it looks fabulous, very nice in silver with red interior.

Very nice Pontiac.

Thank you Jim.

Now that's cool. I like the black finish, nicely done.

Nice build, very smooth paint, and I like the extra slat in the rear wing.

Awesome build. Really like the color and that big beautiful Boss engine.

Very well done T-bolt. I really like the steelies which kind of give it a sleeper look. Very nice paint and overall details.

I like it, very nice.

Thank you Tom.

Nice looking ride, very cool engine.

Awesome looking ride Michelle. Looks like it's ready to take off. Very nice.

Excellent work, beautiful interior, great finish.

I like it, very nice looking build.

Oh yeah, I'm diggin' that Buick, well done, great color.

Very nice build. Great color and the Pegasus wheels and tires look great.

Greg, Gene, Larry, and David thanks so much.

Thanks Mathias and Michelle.

The tried and true AMT Roadrunner. A very nice kit, goes together very well with no issues. I’ve built several over the years. I did an engine swap and used the Viper style engine from the AMT 1971 Duster “Custom” issue of that kit. It was practically a drop in fit. I also used the wheels, tires and disc brakes from the Duster. As I do with so many kits, I painted this kit and all the parts some time ago, then put it back in it’s box until I came across it late last year while searching for something else. I’d been curious about Krylon Fusion paint, so I picked up a can of Krylon Fusion Gloss Sunbeam, a very bright yellow, decanted it, thinned it a little with cheap lacquer thinner and airbrushed it. Through the airbrush, it sprayed very nicely, dried fast, and looks glossy. I did clear coat it with Testors Boyd’s enamel clear. That particular clear, when thinned down, has a slight amber tint which adds a little more depth to the yellow. Too bad it’s no longer available, I’ve used it as a kind of toner on a lot of builds.
