Romell......looking good!!!!!!.......I know what you mean about detail being covered up...... it seems like I am always doing extra work.........that no one will ever see........looking really good Rom.

A few more progress photo`s.......thank`s

Hello......I got some mock-up done.......I am using Firestone white line tires........I noticed on the 1:1 car the rear tires are a bit larger so I ground down some tires and glued them together for a larger set of rear tires........I modified the body by opening up the doors and adding an antena........I used some aluminum rod for a rear window support which will be molded into the body.......thank`s for looking.

Ben......the header wrap is medical bandage wrap again......but,it has a different texture on the bandage......then I airbrushed Tamiya "Titanium" over the wrap then a wash with "Folk Art' black acrylic water based paint......thanks Mike......yes,Alclad airbrushed over the clear coat......thank`s.

Hello.......I bought this resin kit from Mr. "Arotarot" who is with my good friends the "Moonlight Modelers" from Phonix Arizona........this is a very well done casting of this classic kit. from Mr. "Arotarot".....I will try to attempt a nice version of this 1:1 car ......thank`s for looking.

Jeff.......alot of nice detail going on......

Derrik......I used medical bandage wrap........i cut a piece...... folded it in 1/2 to the size i needed.......then painted one side with "Folk Art" black acrylic water based paint......then on other side.......I painted light grey "FolkArt" ............. from Michaels crafts store......cost around 89 cents a bottle...... then on the grey side I drew with a fine black ink pen lines that would appear to be groves in the belt.......I kinda messed that up though .......i drew the lines on it after I had .glued it to the pulleys ......i should have drawn the lines on it before I glued it down......they would have looked straighter.......I could fix it but......when the shield cover is on you can`t see the crooked lines......thank

Harry.....the base is "Osh" brand black enamel spray paint......with RM 3 part clear coat........then the Alclad......thank`s

Harry........just a "made up" bike from a couple dozen pictures off the web.......my idea for the paint.......thank`s.
