Excellent, I have the Pearl Ex pigments too, got them from Michael's, just have to put them to use one of these days. Again, cool build Peter, pretty unique and one you won't see around the contest tables!!!!

I decided to start on this '68 Charger after much thinking instead of the Nova, I think I want to see a couple of the Novas put together, it will give me more ideas later to see what I want to do with mine but in the meantime, I think I am going with this.... First thing I did was remove the awful mold lines just above the back wheel humps right next to the windows, it will be the first thing you notice when you buy the kit. It is good to have a variety of sanding sticks, from the round to the flat ones to get into the little crevices around the areas without compromising details while sanding them. I also went ahead and as usual scribed all the panel lines and darkened them even before priming, I will do this again after priming... I am thinking of painting the Charger with Tamiya's Light Gunmetal and I am also thinking of implementing a black vinyl top which means I will have to get some plastic stock to achieve this. I am also thinking of a darkish red/burgundish interior to go with the exterior color. I am also adding these simple dog dished wheels w/ redlines, I want that sleeper look because I am still adding the beautiful headers that come in the kit probably onto the stock engine, I can still see me changing my mind on this. Those tires came from the Lindberg '66 Chevelle kit and make the perfect redlines, all I did was add flat red Testors enamel paint into the lines already etched in the tires and just remove the excess paint w/ mineral spirits just before the paint dried.

I love what you did with this one Andy, one of my favorite kits!!!

Somehow, I don't think that's gonna happen John, just make sure to bring your big scale stuff together with your regular builds, I am sure you will going to wow a lot of us up here!!!! We have our annual picnic next month, if you are interested in coming just PM me the week before the meeting, the guys would love to meet you, and yes, we display our models on the tables just like in our regular meetings!!!

Cool build man!!!

Sweet Billy, the color is awesome on that!!!!!

Looks good man, your'e almost there, keep us posted! Love the decal color choice on this man!!!

Thanks Bill, I will hit you w/ a few more questions the next time we get together!!!

I am already liking this, keep us posted!!!

Well, I for one can attest to the professional workmanship being employed in this build, can't wait to see it finished Bill, thanks for sharing. By the way, I know that you have talked to me about that paintscratch paint, can you elaborate more on this, how much do you buy when deciding on the model you are building? Do you thin it down and with what? How much time you wait between coats when doing your painting sessions? Do you decant it or do you buy the bottles? How much do you pay? Sorry for acting as a teacher and giving you some homework!!! Thanks in advance.....

I know Dan pretty much covered it but it was such a great turnout that we have to post more!! Bill Geary's baby coming along!! Lyle's beauty of a Deuce!!! Chris Coller swept all the awards, this kid is good and quickly becoming one of my idols!!!! Norm Veber brought this Danbury Mint creation, it was awesome!!! http://s99.photobucket.com/albums/l284/mmm...CPMCC%207-5-08/ And here is the link to the rest of the meeting pictures from my album. Enjoy!!!!!

Nice work guys, just remember that this is Model "Cars" Magazine, this belongs somewhere else .

I remember seeing you posting some pictures of this car at an early stage, really came out as cool as your other stuff, very nice man!!!! The look of the fenders really set if off. Thanks for sharing!!!

Welcome to the board, looks like you have been sniffing the same glue everyone in here sniffs!!! You will see a lot of talented builders here not to mention some pretty good folks too!!

Can't wait to get mine, so many possibilities for this model!!!!! I want to do a variation of several different themes also...

This is one of the cars that in real life they are kinda ugly but looks good as a kit, I like where your'e going w/ this!!!

Hey, now you can team up with the guy that bought the 54 Oldsmobile concept car from the Barret Jackson auction and pay millions of dollars for another car between the two!!! Just don't forget to bring the cap!!!

I am awaiting the Nova, definetly my next project!!!!

Very cool, wish you took pictures in a better light but it's definetly a cool build!!!

Very cool, wish you took pictures in a better light but it's definetly a cool build!!!

Hey Steve, stop taking pictures of real cars man!!! We are talking models here!!!

Tough question man but I think I would go w/ my 61 Impala, something about the lines of that car is somewhat erotic!!!

Love that thing Bob, color and stance is terrific, nice build!!!!

Now, that's a thing of beauty!!!!

Thanks, this is the Fujimi kit!!!
