Here's one that I'm working on. I'm hoping to have it done soon. David G.

Hello Everybody! Due to the age of the molds, this kit is in rough shape. It's not the worst I've worked with but it does require some extra effort to make it presentable. The radiator, a prominent visual aspect of the model, was a hot mess as far as fit and alignment goes. The seam where the front and rear halves come together needed to be built up and filed smooth multiple times using CA. It's just one of the things that needs to be dealt with when building kits with old molds. So here's the end result. I have to say that I'm quite pleased with the way the gold paint turned out. I was truly surprised by the Rustoleum gold paint. I've had bad experiences with this brand in the past but I'm very satisfied with the results this time around. Maybe I've just gotten better at working with it. Of, course I had to reward myself with a mockup. The fender-puppies (sphinxes) are glued on but the rest is loose. The next step is getting the cobras sorted and finished. Closer and closer! As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to share your thoughts. David G.

Great idea using the magnets for the hood and hinges. The body prep looks good too. David G.

Everything looks tight and clean so far. David G.

A beautiful build! Excellent detail and decal work. David G.

Good looking Torino, nice under-hood and chassis detail. David G.

Hello Everybody! The test fit in the previous photo spread served its purpose and revealed a fit problem. It would seem that the driveshaft falls short of meeting up with the transmission. The source of this shortcoming is a misalignment of the rear spring. The slot it fits into is a bit misshapen, probably due to worn molds. I filed out the slot to allow the spring to line up better and once I had it where I wanted it, I I held it in place with a styrene shim. Just to be sure it all stayed together and aligned while the glue dried, I drilled and pinned it. That's all for this round, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

Thank you Chaz! Thanks Carl, I thought about lighting the inside with a red LED but I probably won't. Thanks Joe, I appreciate your kind comment. David G.

It looks great on the carrier. Great carrier too! David G.

Nice paint finish, good details, it looks great! David G.

That dragster came our great Scott! Well worth the effort. David G.

That's a great looking Buick! David G.

Thank you Ken! Thanks Rusty! Soon, soon, soon, I'm editing some of those photos today so I should have something to post in the next couple of days. David G.

You got a lucky break having such simple door panels to replicate. It should be easy to make them look great. David G.

I really like the subtle blue tint on the headlights. David G.

Excellent progress on the hood hinges! David G.

Knights of the Old Republic, is a Star Wars game released in 2003. It is considered a high water mark as Star Wars games go. David G.

Michael, your precision, skill and prolificacy of building continue to amaze me. The subtlety of detail you're putting into this model is truly astounding. David G.
