Great detail work on that magneto man, looking good overall......

Hey, I was just looking at that! I will definetly keep that in mind, thanks!!!!

Very cool looking!!!!!!

This is a little bit more work I was able to put into my Merc on the weekend!!!! I will be using Norms interior parts to complete the interior of this model, I will have to make some mounting holes on the door panels and also Alclad some of these parts to do my final touch ups!!!!

Hey Raul, you do really good work on your models man, this one is outstanding!!!

There are so many ways of building this model, you did a very nice job on yours, I like those graphics!!!!

Very cool and clean!!!!

Love it!!!!

Don't give up now, you are almost there man!!!!

Very cool!!!!

You are right Lyle, that is more of the color I am going for, is that one of Dave Lindsay's photos or was it a show you attended???

How' were you able to read my mind????

Too cool and it's not even finished yet!!!!!

I built one of these and I can say it is a beautiful kit, very nice job on yours man, color is terrific!!!!

Hey, I don't know you but what took you so long to join??? You have skills my friend, welcome to the club!!!!!

This is more or less what I am looking for, nothing like a picture of a 1/1 for inspiration. Hopefully I don't get in trouble with Dave Lindsay about using his picture on the forum Sorry Dave!!

I am liking this a lot, keep us posted please!!!

I will have to wait for a nice and sunny day, it is awful out there today!!!!

Nice!!!!

Very cool!!!!!

As promised, these are the photos taken after the polishing of the paint, lots of curves on this car so I had to be careful not to rub through some of them but all in all it was very therapeudic Next is the BMF and on to the interior!!!

Too cool!!!!!

Thanks for the replies fellas. Sorry about answering the questions so late, had to do a few chores last night and could not get back to my computer until this morning. The paint is Lime Time from the HOK 3 step sytem that Wal-Mart use to carry. The clear is Odds and Ends. Painted the basecoat white before adding the color. It looks good on the pictures but believe you me, it needs a lot of attention in the polishing department. I had a bottle of Rainbow Colors lacquer paint laying around for years and decided to use it on the engine, they are not in business anymore I believe the battery is from a Detail Master kit I also had around my parts bin for several years and decided to use it. Last night I started rubbing out the body and it's really coming along nicely, I will have pictures very soon for you guys to check out. Randy, I will try to go to the MAMA meeting this Saturday but can't promise you certainty!! Is that a word?? Again, thanks for the replies my friends, glad to know you like it!!!!

I hate bill geary

I decided to build a 49 Merc like the rest of the country so forgive me Just painted the body sunday night and it's almost time for some polishing and waxing I used Model Car Garages' Stromberg carburetor detail set and even though it was kind of tedious I think they will ultimately look good on top of the engine, later I will connect some fuel lines onto the firewall. Also decided to go with an Ultima battery. I am painting the interior the same color as the engine which is Verdoro Green for contrast with the body color. Hope to have this done in another 3 weeks or so, hopefully
