Great work on the hinges! David G.

An absolute mind-blower! Beautiful paint and decal work, you've really captured the feel of the era, I love the nitromethane formula on the front! The running gear detail is top of the line too with all the delightful details you've added. Outstanding work! David G.

What a happy looking yellow! Nicely Done! David G.

Nice work on the paint! David G.

What a great idea for a promotional show car! Excellent work so far! David G.

Hello Everybody! Here's a little more progress on the Mummy Machine. The mummy head is the most visually prominent part of the model and how it looks really sets the tone and establishes the general character of the rest of the model. I wanted to go with something a bit more on the realistic side to balance some of the over-the-top opulence of the rest of the car. Although the bandages look white I actually used Tamiya XF-12 J.N. Grey over the base TS-46 Light Sand. The skin is a mixture of Tamiya XF 68 Nato Brown, XF-52 Flat Earth, XF 15 Flat Flesh and XF-2 White. I just thought of the skin as leather then mixed and painted accordingly. The teeth are a mix of Tamiya XF-2 White and XF-15 Flat Flesh. All of this was followed up with various washes and dry brush applications. The directions call for assembling the mummy head on the car, placing and gluing the rear section to the floor, followed by the tongue seat and then the front half. I chose not to do it that way for obvious reasons. I'll just have to work out the final assembly details when the time comes. With all this work accomplished I thought it was time to reward myself with a test-fit mockup. The body tub is currently in black primer but it will soon be painted in a beautiful gold. Once again, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to post a comment if one feels the urge to do so. David G.

Thanks Ken, I appreciate your kind comment. David G.

I'm flattered, consider it yours! David G.

With all that race equipment there's really no room for bags in the boot, is there? ? Excellent work on this! The more you do the more 1:1 it looks. David G.

That's a great looking base facility. It reminds me of some of the space docks in KOTR. David G.

Nicely Done! My Dad had a '63 sedan in silver like this one.

A most interesting subject! I can't wait to see what you do with this one. David G.

I remember following the WIP on this one, it was fun watching it all come together. The end result is stunning to say the least. The first word that comes to my mind when I see this car is "Voodoo". David G.

Nice detail work on the grille and engine bay. David G.

Nice looking color and paint finish. I painted my convertible a similar color and did it up as a Cuban Taxi. I noticed that it seems that nobody installs those air ducts under the hood. David G.

Nice replica! You've really captured the look and feel of the original. David G.

Holy Cow, that thing's gorgeous! David G.

After following your WIP on this build, it's nice to see it completed. Paint and detail are fantastic! The wash on the wheels gives them a Steampunk look. David G.

The paint and detailing and engine bay look great! David G.

Thank you Jim! I actually tried using some medical gauze to impress a texture on the putty but it didn't give the look I wanted. Thanks Rusty! Thank you Chaz! I should have more updates soon. David G.

The Ford GT is, in my opinion one of the best looking automotive designs ever. You've certainly done this one justice. David G.

That's a lot of crazy masking work! Been there, done that. The stripes look great, this whole thing is shaping up quite nicely. David G.

What a cool build! I like the work you've done so far, I hope you can get the axle business sorted without too much trouble. David G.

Fabulous work on this one! David G.

I really like how that color looks on the car. Nice interior detail too. David G.
