2 more pictures of this clean build!!!

I wonder how!

Very nice Dale, I can vouch for you here in the forum for I had the pleasure of seing it over the weekend. Are you going to post the Mercedes? Tell me because if you are not I will do it for you upon your permission, you know, to show that nice photo-etch grill you put in the front!!!

Hey mi pana, how are you man?? Are you going to Wayne next week?? Hope to see you there man, I have to see how much you have progressed on your building!!!

Just a quick reply, as far as teachers Steve, I think I had two of the best, the Cruz and Geary team! I'll have to show it to them first, and I thought I had enough clear coats (4) to be OK, but maybe add a few more. Kurt, I just put down a heavy coat of Elmer's white glue, poured on the powder (unsifted), let it dry, and that's it. I even managed to screw it up on one side a little, by poking it before it dried. All I did was smooth it slightly, let it dry completely, put down another coat of glue and powder, and it looked like it never was touched. I struggled with flocking, and this is so much easier! Hey Bob, that's a pretty cool feature the 'other magazine' did on you! Just got it yesterday, and NOW I see all about priming AFTER I did the Lambo

Nice job on this man, colors are cool too!!!

I use embossing powders instead of flocking for my interiors. One of the forum members posted this idea several months ago and I decided to try it. I like it because it is more to scale and can be painted any color you desire, in this case this is one of the shades that are available when you buy them. I believe there are about another 5 or 6 shades or so!

Perfect eras look, very cool job man!!!

I just got mine in the mailbox yesterday, that centerfold is beaut.... Oh sorry, wrong mag.!!! Pretty interesting issue Gregg, thanks!!!!

I got the interior finished last night and fitted the chassis to the body as a mockup to see how well everything fits, I will have to do some corrections but ultimately it will be minor tweaking here and there to complete it, next is the paint!!!

Very cool Evil!!!!!

I am a big Nova lover myself, can't wait for Revell to bring their's out. Looks pretty cool to me man, try to get it done!!!

STRIKE TWO!!!!!

Hope you can see it now!! Acryl makes a satin type clear for the level of gloss you prefer!!!

Awesome job on that man!!!!

Hey Lyle, who are you going with over to the show? Are several of you crazies getting together??? Tell me what's up so that I can save some money in gas and make you pay for it!!!

I decided to use a shading method I saw in a "magazine" recently about using pastels for the interior and toning stuff up a little for a more realistic look, I think I like it!!! You can already see the difference on these shots!!! Everything with the pastels has to be in moderation. I will be adding a satin clear with the Acryl paints for a slightly shinier and leatherly look!!!

Brother, you have got to finish this thing man, it is awesome, those colors really go nice together!!!

I will be taking a little break between the regular ongoing projects I usually do to do something quick and fun! It is a curbside and has very few parts, just warming up before the next big project and the NNL. I will be posting some stuff soon!!!

Thanks Jay, those rims are a resin copy of originals sent to me by a dear friend in Puerto Rico, I am saving the originals for a future special project. The rims are Alcladed with Aluminum on a glossy basecoat of Model Master gloss black enamel paint.

No comment!!!

Hope you can completed before the NNL, we are almost there!!
