Great start! David G.

Well worth the effort, looks sharp! David G.

Excellent rescue! An effective and creative to deal with adversity, well done. David G.

Nicely Done! David G.

Thanks James2. This will probably be the last "On The Workbench" update for this project before I finish it up and post it in the "Under Glass" section. OK, final colors. Yep, it's direct take from the box art but why not? To finish this up, I need to do paint clean-up and polish, decals then final assembly. Thanks to everybody for the support during this challenging build. Your comments help me to "keep my head in the game" so to speak. David G.

Maybe a decade after the movie in the studio back lot? David G.

Excellent work! David G.

Well done! I can almost smell the dust and dirt, with just a hint of rust. David G.

Excellent work, love all the detail! David G.

Hi Peter, A few years ago on this forum, we had some trouble with members posting unsolicited and sometimes less than polite comments on the build threads of other members. The situation got rather out of hand resulting in a number of people being permanently banned from the forum. As a result of that, on my build threads I post a closing line that gives express permission to post comments: "As always, thank you for taking the time to stop and look and please feel free to comment." David G.

Nicely Done! David G.

Nicely done! David G.

I think that most model builders would like to build something on this scale with this level of detail, but most of us never will. Thank you for taking the time to share yours with us. David G.

Nailed it! Yeah, I was wondering about that too. David G.

Amazing detail work! David G.

Your weathering looks great! You've really nailed the "Thousand and one details". David G.

It's time for another update! OK, the weathering is done. I also added some additional detail items. I made a Plexiglas windscreen and affixed it to the front of the roll cage. I also added some padding to the back of the cage. It seems to me that a car like this should have a debris screen in front of the radiator, so I made one and installed it. With the engine assembled and installed, I noticed that the top of air cleaner was sitting level with the hood when it should be sticking up through the hole in the hood. So I made an extension to lift it to a more appropriate height. Now it's time to sort out the body and get it painted. Thanks, everybody! David G.

Well done. Nice mud effect. David G.

Wow! You're right I have never seen so many fish eyes in one paint job. What a bummer. David G.

Thank you JC! -D- The chassis is mostly finished and the body seems like it will line up well enough. Except that the air cleaner is supposed to stick up through the hole in the hood more than it does. Time for yet another adjustment. With the chassis sitting sitting squarely on all fours, it's time for some weathering... ... and maybe some more added detail. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

It looks like a burning ember! David G.

Wow Jaroslav, It breaks my heart to see this. Some people have such little regard for the work of others. David G.

Thank you Bob, and thanks for sticking around for this one. -D- It may not look like much of an update, but this is actually a couple of hour's worth of work for me. Looks like the drag link is missing from this pile-o-parts. When you can't find the missing link, you make your own. That looks like it should work. Uh, yeah. More modifications, I guess. Luckily, this part will be easy. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

Wow! That is an amazing amount of work. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us. David G.

Unfortunately, just like every other group we do have our share of trolls. There are fewer than most other groups but they are here. I guess that some people just aren't happy unless they're unhappy. David G.
