i had a 240 hatchback painted with that blue. i love that color. how are you going to work that spoon into the build though

congratulations on finishing one. i got three done recently. well two are 99.8 and the other is 99.9. if i can just finish more your build looks great. cant wait to see more

thanks. im glad u did this build. im about to start my 599 build. u gave me some ideas as to what im getting into and how to fix it. they both look sweet

nice car. it would be cool to have one of these on the streest of the USA. u would be one of a kind. i like the build.

i get trapped in only looking in one or two sections. i will dig into the drag and nascar. i never venture deep in those areas

i use the revell 1/72 snap kit. slight mods to make the wings fit. i cut the missles off of the launch pods and i a gonna put some 1/43 ordanance on them.

wow. you must have pushed out a lot of model expecting the world to end or something. they are all nice. you should be proud of your self

awesome shine

dude i have spent over 150 bucks on different weathering kits. spent hours on youtube and waisted many HO train cars and i have yet to make them look like they do in the videos. so i cant help on that your build looks good. this is a cool kit and i may have to pic one up

way to go. your builds are awesome. i cant wait to see more.

the ones on the body shell were a cake walk. they did need some trimming in some areas. now. the carbon on the bottom was not fun at all. that was 2 days work. i may go all out on the carbon details on my next gto build thanks every body for your kind words.

only complaint is you need more pics. this build has mega deets.

Man that title was a mouth full. this build took forever because i goofed up on a part and it hit the back burner. i made myself finish before i started my 599 gto no tail lights because i misplaced them. Errrrrrgh.

after 37 hints, i did not get this for christmas. so i got it to celabrate my tigers beating the other tigers in their bowl game. just got it off goodbay. so excited i could not wait 10-16 buisness days to post it on my table

if you are like me, a carefully taken photo can hide a million errors. everybody will like your builds anyway.

i signed up for the magazine a few days before this post. i cant wait to get my first issue. i got SAE a few months ago and i got my first one four days later. i check the mail 6 times a day.

get'em and build them

welcome. now rust in peace. see that was a joke on how real your rust looks. keep them comming and share that knowledge

well my freddy flame out needed a adversary. so i am making him one here's freddy i got the body from the weird-ohs Digger kit note the monster looking hands. they needed to be changed to a more human look. so i cut the hands off a flame out kit and kit bashed them onto the diggers arms. i used parts off a revell A10 thinderbolt to change up the plane. he will be dressed out in German WWII style uniform and cammo on the plane. he even has that weird salute the German's gave that monster leader of the time.

sweet ride. looks good as always. great job mike

what searh words did you use to find this

i bought a $8 flex-a-file CA glue appicator. it worked ok for like 15 seconds. i broke it trying to clean it. there was just something about the shape of it that kept bugging me. i kept trying to figure out how to fix it. and blamo!!!!!!! that shape was a sewing needle with the tip of the eye cut off. i will just attach it to my pin vise or not now. if i can just find the one that i already cut. it is going to be a pain lf i dont find it soon.

is this just for rat rods or could i use it for old trucks? just kidding. way to think out of the box

i always base coat with the paint. remove any trash in the finish up to 12000 and then polish with a buffing compound. i then apply the decals using micro sol. i put down a light clear coat a few times. when the 3rd light coat is dry i lay down a wet coat. i then sand with 4000 on up to 12000 then buff and wax. if you go to hard on the polishing u may cut into the decals. so go light. i always clear my deals to protect them on a project like this. i wont clear if the decals are small or they would look dumb with clear on them

hey ira. you are over the top. keep it up. u should be working in Hollywood
