Cousin Bo's '67 GTO....yes, the much hated MPC kit

Great looking interior and paint, the wheels are well done and really compliment the rest of the car. Excellent work! David G. -
Nice idea for variations on a theme! All of them well executed. David G.

Hello Everybody! The figures are finished. Though now that I see the photos, I notice some things that could do with just a little more attention. But for now, they're done. The Dynamic Duo is ready for a night of crime fighting! Unfortunately, the car is still in the shop. I should have this one done soon. As always, thanks for taking a look and please feel free to post a comment or two. David G.

Thank you for the compliment Rusty. I hadn't thought to paint those pods in the same color as the body, that would have worked too. Then maybe do up the central sections as tail lights, similar to a '59 Cadillac. Though I think the brightness of the pods creates a good visual balance with the large dark fins and steeply sloping trunk lid. Thanks again for your comment, I appreciate your input. David G.

Nice progress. This will be one great looking model when it's done. David G.

Hello Everybody! Not much of an update today but hopefully I'll have more soon. There are two chrome bumper pods that attach to the rear of the car. Unfortunately, the sprue attachment points on the rear bumper pods were on the top and outboard sides leaving noticeable scars in very visible areas so I stripped the chrome and smoothed them down. Why do designers do this? ? A quick shot with some Dupli-Color Chrome paint has them looking like cast aluminium. Good enough for my purposes. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to post a comment. David G.

Nice detail work on the engine bay! Everything else looks great too. David G

Wow, that's a bummer. I don't know the extent of the error but in similar circumstances, I've been able to do a touch up by brush. I'm assuming that you used spray cans. If so, you can decant some paint by spraying a small puddle on a paper plate and use a small brush to apply some paint to cover the bleed. It can take a keen eye and steady hand but it may be better than repainting the whole thing. Best of luck with it. David G.

Nice looking classic fastback! What kit is this BTW? David G.

I remember seeing similar 1:1 kits in the Eighties. They weren't usually finished as well as yours. Excellent work! David G.

Cool idea for the bed. Glad to know that you're on the mend, I hope a total recovery is in your future. David G.
