Very clean and classy build!

I'm definitely liking it! ?

Beautifully done!

Hi John, The wheels are Pegasus 19" & 23" Hellas. They are mounted to the '39 Wagon Rod chassis that I am using for this build ? Cheers

Hi John, Thank you! ? Sometimes the conditions for spraying a paint job like this are perfect, this one was such instance ? Yes, the decals came with a black background. See the link below: https://www.indycals.net/decals/f1/78lotus79.html Michael at IndyCals is makes a great product, and has great customer service! Cheers

Thanks Mike! I tend to use Tamiya TS-13 gloss clear right out of the can, or Testors Extreme Laquer clear. Then wet sanding/polishing to a certain extent depending on how the color/clear coats go on. The black cars are all Tamiya TS-14. All of these cars were sprayed with rattle cans, except for the belt lines on the Nova (can't remember if it was Tamiya clear orange, or Testors Colors by Boyd Orange Pearl...), and the Vantastic, they were airbrushed. Cheers

Thanks, Carl! ?

Hi Tony, Thanks! The two tone gray is actually from the Aztek decals that I purchased separately. Very labor intensive, but worth it in the end. I forget the exact base color I used, Tamiya Silver Leaf (?), over a black base. Cheers

Hi Bart, Yes, it is the 1/1000 scale version, I should have mentioned that in my post ? The lighting was extremely easy to do. Cheers

Built this a couple of years ago. A genuinely great kit and easy build. I think the Aztec decals required more work than the plug-and-play lighting kit ? Cheers

Jürgen, your builds always amaze me! Ausgezeichnet ?

Very well done!

Nicely done Gary!

Beautifully done!

Me too! Perhaps with a Tesla motor? ?

Those are really cool! I wish it would be possible to obtain a modern Holden Ute here. Although they are GM products, the design is very unique.

A few of mine... ? Cheers

Nicely done David! Back in the 70's those custom vans were all the rage here in California. Cheers

Duh! Helps to re-read my own post... Tom the wheels are Aoshima "aftermarket" 20" BBS, link below: https://www.amazon.com/Aoshima-Tuned-No-25-Plastic-Model/dp/B01MZYHXQX/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1KSPAYCN10JDV&keywords=aoshima+wheels&qid=1663281812&sprefix=aoshima%2Caps%2C157&sr=8-2 Cheers

Thanks Tom! IIRC, they are Fujimi "aftermarket" wheels, 18" BBS-style. They are nicely done with separate centers, sleeves, and multiple colors of decals to accent them with. I just checked on Amazon where I got them originally and this style is no longer listed... Cheers

Too cool! ?

Thanks! ?

Thanks everyone! Might get this one finished by the end of the year. Couple of other things on the bench currently ? Cheers, Mathias

Thanks! IIRC it was Tamiya XF28 (Dark Copper). Cheers

This is the Pegasus Hobbies vinyl Spinosaurus kit I completed last year. Added some additional foliage, rocks, water effect, etc. to the base. Used a combination of brush painting, airbrush, oil washes. The drool is monofilament coated with Micro Krystal Klear. Fun build. Cheers
