  1. Nice one, like the rake. David G.
  2. Good progress on this. I'm interested in seeing how you work out the conversion. David G.
  3. Beautiful job on the car! Also a wonderful story, they're never too young to bring them into car culture. The world needs more Dads like you! David G.
  4. Spectacular work on this! You have so much good stuff going on that it's though to pick anything to comment on. David G.
  5. Good work so far. Looks like a fun build. David G.
  6. Looks great so far! I'm afraid I have no experience working with resin parts so I'm no help there. David G.
  7. Looks to be an interesting build. David G.
  8. Beautiful work so far! Great job on detail painting, very convincing realism. David G.
  9. Excellent work on this! There's always room for one more classic hotrod. David G.
  10. Good detail work on the engine. It's all coming along nicely. David G.
  11. I haven't built any of those but I've had my eye on the Chevy truck for a while now. If you plan on posting a WIP for the Chevelle, I'll certainly follow along. David G.
  12. Thank you David, glad you like it. David G.
  13. Good looking build, looks like it was worth the hassle. I can't tell you how many times I broke a delicate part while cutting it from the sprue. It's a pain in the neck, that's for certain. I'm not sure what you use to remove parts from the sprue but I imagine you probably use some type of sprue cutter. They're great tools and I have several that I use but for some of the finer parts they're just too big and clunky. A few years ago I discovered a great tool for separating those teeny-tiny parts from the sprue. It's a set of photo etch craft saw blades from Tamiya. They're available through most online hobby retailers These do have to be cut out and folded for use but they're great for cutting those tiny parts loose without damage. If you're not up for cutting and folding then Micro Mark has a version that looks like it can be used "right out of the box" so to speak. Micro Mark Ultra Fine Saw Blade I haven't tried these so I can't speak to their suitability but I'm guessing that they're about the same size as a single edge blade so they should work well. And they're from Micro Mark so they will be useful for something. Best regards, David G.
  14. Great color combination, good solid looking build. I first built mine about forty years ago and did a nostalgia build a couple of years back. Both times it was the full drag Miss Deal kit. Both times I built it stock. David G.
  15. Nice detail work. David G.
  16. Good color choice, the decals really add to the appearance. Nicely done. David G.
  17. Thanks Carl. I bought the decals on line. They're from one of the versions of the MPC Joker Goon Car... This one I think. Thanks again, David G.
  18. I started throwing some decals at the thing. It looks like I'm going to need to do a little clean-up work on them. It's kind of a little cartoony but maybe that's the point. Anyway, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to let me know what you think. David G.
  19. Excellent work on the body mods. Great color choice but I think the white is too stark in comparison. I think I would try a cream or ivory white. David G.
  20. Looks good. David G.
  21. A delightfully unusual subject, nicely done. David G.
  22. Stunning work so far! David G.
  23. Nice work, in spite of the mishaps. David G.
  24. That's a great color for grandma's grocery getter. I'm very interested in seeing how the rest of this one comes together. David G.
  25. Lowering the front suspension is certainly an improvement. I'm interested to see what you do with the rest of it. My first thought was that those front "wishbones" looked like submarine diving planes, more so now that they're midline. That, along with the "rudder" on the rear deck lid, I might have put a bubble on top and tried to make it a mini-sub. David G.
