Great progress on this! I seem to remember some of the decals on my Charger being out of scale too, namely the badge script decals. They were close enough that I used them anyway. David G.

Beautiful work on this so far! The hood bullets are great, excellent interior detailing and good color selection. David G.

This just keeps getting better! David G.

I can imagine how frustrating this grille situation must be for you. Have you considered building the grille with only the horizontal pieces? I think I remember seeing some of the Camaros from around 1977 or 78 with grilles that had a predominantly horizontal grate. David G.

Interesting project. I'm currently building the Heritage Edition of the Ford GT that you're working with so I feel like I have a connection to this one. David G.

Crisp and clean! Beautiful work. Are those sponsor call-outs in a single sheet or individual decals? David G.

Hello Everyone. I've been busy the last two weeks completing the continuing education units for my professional licensing so my bench time has been severely limited. But that's all done. I was able to get a couple of hours in yesterday and here's what I accomplished. I was able to get the panel lines darkened and cleaned up. They'll need touching up in a couple of spots. I know they look pretty dark and I may still dial them back in a couple of areas but the are rather pronounced on the 1:1. There was another task that I wanted to accomplish and I was waiting for a time when my hands felt a little more stead and my eyes a bit sharper but I went ahead and did it anyway I don't know whether a chrome plated snap-in mirror was intended for the side views or what, but that's one heck of a hole that was cast into them. Even if there was a chrome piece that was meant to be inserted there, it would likely be waaaaay too thick to work with. In either case, these holes need to be addressed. I found some super shiny Mylar which I cut down to put in place there. The back of the Mylar is sort of self-adhesive but I plan to hold it down with a dab of PVA. I think that'll work nicely. Oh, yeah, I added the third brake light too. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

Excellent progress on these Jouko! So tell me, how do you keep all the parts of the individual models from getting intermingled during the painting and building? David G.

You have my attention. David G.

There was a time, maybe around 2015 or 17 that this forum was so awash in General Lee builds that it almost became a running joke. Seriously, you couldn't open a browser on this site without seeing at least a few "Full detail General Lee", "Accurate General Lee build", "General Lee WIP, lotsa pictures!". As I recall, it has been a while since I've seen a DoH General Lee build though. I'm eager to see how yours turns out. David G.

Nicely Done! In detail and finish, both are well ahead of the time in which they were built. David G.

In this case David, I think it may be the balsa wood causing the warpage. I've done a bit of model railroading and balsa is generally not recommended for building model structures because in that hobby it has an affinity for moisture and is rather unstable as a result. For something like your diorama bass wood would be more typically used as it is much more stable than balsa very to work with. Hope that's helpful. It looks like you have some good work going there too. David G.

I'm always impressed by the realism of your dioramas, this one is no exception. The only thing missing is a bit of litter. But maybe you don't have that in Sweden like we do here in The States In any case, beautiful work. David G.

That's beautiful, everything looks spot-on! David G.
