Very cool Antonio, excellent color and cleanliness!!!!!

Just awesome Andy, I have always loved this Buick, the color is fantastic. Hope to see it at the next meeting!!!!!

The Carbs are a complete kit including the PE, nylon fuel lines and the resin Carbs. I painted them with Testors Metalizer Stainless Steel paint first. After this, I drybrushed them with this little paste-like product I found at Michael's Craft store named Rub 'n buf wax metallic finish. It comes in varrious metallic shades. I used the Antique Gold very lightly and drybrushed it over the carbs being careful not didn't overdo it!!! You can do it with your fingers or in my case, since the Carbs were so small, with a small brush......

Thanks Dan, just in case you need reference photos of the build, they are right here in the forum under the "on the workbench" section!!!

Personally, when I come from my club meetings or from model shows and events, that's when it hits me, I just get inspired to the point where I just want to do something special. I see it like a good boxer, I will get the knock out when the opportunity comes. I don't concentrate on winning contests or anything like that but I have had some luck just adding my little details here and there and having a fair chance at winning a trophy at the tables. To me, cleanliness and good painting is the key to winning. Other times, I just put a curbside together just so that I don't get burned out when attacking my next big project!!!

Guys, remember, WOMEN ARE NEVER SATISFIED!!!! No matter what, they will always complain about something This hobby is what keeps me sane and the day I stop doing it, believe you me, she will beg me to start doing it again, there is a lot of expensive things I like to do if I were not into model building!!!!

Too much detail in this forum, I am joining another one with lower stress levels!!!

Very cool, is it a pure white? I can see a slight difference when comparing it with the whitewall tires..... Either way, it certainly looks nice, great job!!!!

Very cool. Love the color!!!

Gorgeuos builds my friend!!!!

I 3rd the notion, more pics!!!!! Very cool!!!!

As always, SWEEEEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!

Well my friend, let me be the first to tell you that you made a mistake by leaving the hobby, looks like you are a talented builder by the photos you posted. Welcome back and I hope you get that collection back up quickly, lots of good kits coming out lately!!!! Welcome back

Okay Harry, I will do you a favor, take this one, a handsome guy for your Avatar. The best thing about it is that they won't even bother stealing it from you!!!!

Bienvenido amigo, te va a gustar mucho este foro (you will like this forum a lot)

Too cool for words!!!!

Definetly the airbrush for me. Couldn't build without my reading glasses either

Too cool!!!!!

I am not a big football fan but I am a yankee fan and anything that comes from Boston or MA I don't like! Congratulations go to the Giants and New York fans on this big win, great game too!!!!!

Don't believe this guy, he took pictures of the real thing and is trying to take the credit for building it!!!!!!!

Outstanding build, love the paint!!!!

I own a Crescendo for 18 years now, it has been so good to me I went out and bought another one, just in case they stop manufacturing it

I think is one of the reasons I admire guys like Bill Geary, Norman Veber and the late Augie Hiscano among others, they never went overboard on the details at the same time maintaining everything down to scale. There are a lot of things on a model that are just impossible to maintain to scale. One reason I don't like to take pictures under the sun when using metallic colors on my models is exactly that, no matter what paint you use, the metallics will never be to scale on these models.

Ariel is my mangina!!!
