  1. It's one of those cars that looks like it's going 90 mph when it's sitting still! Excellent work so far. David G.
  2. It'll be interesting to see where this one carries you. I like when the modifications begin to write their own story. David G.
  3. Here is another update. This is what I occupied most my model building time this week. While prepping the wheel covers for their final polish and detail I noticed that the original "chrome" coating on three out of four wheels had lumpy looking drips on them. Here they can be seen on the lower right part of the disc edge near the "spokes". So I guess I'll strip all four of them and refinish them like I did the grille and bumpers. Well here they are. It took me two different strippers, Super Clean for the chrome coating and oven cleaner underlying lacquer base. Luckily, all the flaws seemed to be in the base coat and all the wheels are smooth and pretty. Yes, there were five provided in the kit. There seems to be no good reason for it as there are only four stock tires. Also no provision for a spare, which wouldn't have a wheel cover anyway. Here they are all re-chromed, detail painted and ready to install. I noticed that that strange saw-tooth looking distortion in the spokes is also resolved. I'm glad I took the time to do this. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to post a comment. David G.
  4. Looks fabulous so far! David G.
  5. That's a bummer about the issue with the fit of interior but at least it was a fixable problem. Fixing issues is one of the joys of model building. After all, if they went together too easily, they'd be puzzles. David G.
  6. Excellent progress on this one. I continue to be amazed by the detail you're adding. David G.
  7. Lowering seems to improve the profile. Looks to be an interesting build. David G.

  13. Great color choice! It has a very 70's vibe to it. David G.
  14. I fell in love with the Countache when I first saw one as a car show in 1978 and it's been my favorite exotic ever since. Yours looks great, it'll be nice to see it finished. David G.
  15. Great looking Lambo Dann! Will the doors open on this one? I can't imagine putting all that work into a beautiful interior never to see it again. David G.
  16. This looks to be an interesting build. David G.
