  1. Way to go Roger! Always enjoy watching your builds. Cheers
  2. Hi Charles, no not yet. Suffered a "minor" set-back during one of my final test fitting phases... I managed to crack one of the rear over fenders. Had to do body work (as I had blended the fenders in), then while I was at it I did a complete repaint. Everything else is coming together, maybe by the end of the month it will be ready. Cheers
  3. Your work is inspiring Roger. Cheers
  4. Thanks Kim! IIRC it was Testors Colors by Boyd Orange Pearl. ?
  5. Hallo Wallid, das geht ja gut voran. Hast du schon mal überlegt, es mit Molotow-Chromstiften für die Bettschienen zu versuchen? Das erfordert zwar immer noch etwas Abkleben, ist aber vielleicht nicht so schwierig. Hier ist ein Bild von einem, an dem ich das ausprobiert habe. Am besten,
  6. Just know that you are not alone... ?
  7. Nicely done Eric! That color works well on it.
  8. 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
  9. 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
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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
  14. Beautifully done!
  15. Me too! Perhaps with a Tesla motor? ?
  16. 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.
