  1. In spite of all the difficulties this kit gave you, the end results are well worth the effort. Beautifully Done Simon! The matching paint scheme on the base is very complimentary to the car. I'm just curious, do the lamps on the base light up? David G.
  2. Looks good, nice detail painting. David G.
  3. It looks like the body is shaping up nicely. I'm also interested to see how your suspension drop works out. David G.
  4. I followed your WIP on this one and got to see all the custom work you did on it. The finish work with all the details, paint and decals came out great, excellent work! David G.
  5. Looks like you're off to a good start. David G.
  6. Beautiful! David G.
  7. Thank you for that explanation David. It helps to firm up the concept for me. It seems more closely related to the Dots Per Inch that a printer head produces than display resolution but there are similarities to both. Again, fascinating stuff. David G.
  8. Congratulations! Awesome looking truck! It must feel great to be recognized for that. David G.
  9. It's quite a fascinating process. The main factor in the appearance of the printed product appears to be a matter of "resolution" rather like computer graphics- 1920x1080 is better than 1024x768 and both are lightyears ahead of 640x480. Is that accurate? I find your thread on this subject very informative and enlightening. Thank you for taking the time to share it. David G.
  10. Thank you Declan. Thanks Gareth. Thinking back on the cars of that era that I remember seeing, it seems to me that many of them had quite a bit of space between the fender and the wheel. The more I look at it setting on my build shelf, the less odd it looks to me. Especially next to the 59 Caddy I'm working on. Thank you Chris. During my research I did see a few built-up models in which the builder left the gap unaddressed. I'm glad I decided to "mind the gap" so to speak. Yes, I do see a little bit of a challenge with mating the lead edge of the roof to the windshield header and vents. Adjustments will be necessary, I'm just now working out what and where. Yes I did Carl, thank you. Although a little more of a challenge than it used to be, detail painting is one of my favorite parts of the build process.
  11. That came out really nice. Excellent engine bay and interior detailing, the wheels even work well with it. David G.
  12. Wow Bob, quite a long haul on this one but a very informative and enjoyable WIP. Thanks for taking the time to share it. Now, let's see if I can find it in the Under Glass section before I get distracted by something else. David G.
  13. Absolutely amazing work on this! Museum quality. David G.
  14. Excellent color choice, great interior detailing, a beautiful restoration! David G.
  15. Wicked looking front end. David G.
  16. Wow! Most impressive, excellent color and detail. David G.
  17. I found this thread late in the game and had fun catching up... until the end. What a bummer of a finish. Though maybe... hopefully, not the end. I feel your frustration Bob. David G.
  18. Hello everyone! Not much progress to report on this one. I'm working on the final pre-paint prep for the body and finishing up some of the details on the interior. I did however get the detail painting of the chassis completed. I'm thinking that the track on this one looks a little narrow, especially when it's up on its wheels. I'll have to do a little more image research to check its appearance against 1:1 cars. Thanks for taking the time to look. David G.
  19. I knew it was old just by the kit design but I didn't know the part about it having been a promo- that makes sense though. It is (unlike me) in surprisingly good shape for its age. Thanks for filling in the background for me on this one Tom. Thanks for the tip Steve. I may keep an eye out for that, I think this body style would make a great looking airport limo. David G.
  20. Good call on the dashboard revision. It's a significant improvement. David G.
  21. Looks like a cool project, as I am about all things Batman. How humiliating for Robin though, right? David G.
  22. It's nice to see this one again! Love the record albums and engines, there's just too much amazing work on this one. And the Vette? What a cool concept, I can't wait to see more. David G
  23. Beautiful finish and detail! David G.
  24. Sweet details, especially the cockpit and hood straps. David G.
