If it weren't for the figure I'd have thought that it was 1:1. There's nothing wrong with the figure, it's just nigh impossible to make them look like anything other than what they are. Great work. David G.
I tried to build one of these back in '75 or '76. Never did finish it, I think the decals kicked my butt. Yours looks great, thanks for sharing it. David G.
OK a little bit of an update.
The "chrome" on the bumpers as a bit scratched and well, just plain yucky looking so I decided to use Alclad to replace it.
Of course we start with the Alclad gloss black enamel.
And then spray with Alclad.
Thanks again,
David G.
Thank you John, for your kind comments. I have more skill now than when I started this project in 2009. There are things that I've accomplished that I couldn't have done when I started this. Now that I'm in the home stretch with this one, the hearse is next on the list. Thanks again Jesse, I appreciate your input. Thank you for the suggestion Tom. I actually have something that I've knocked together for the rear area. I'm sort of fine tuning it for appearance. Hopefully I'll get some photos of it posted soon. Thank you also for your kind comments. David G.
Thank you Jesse, the Interceptor is one of the ones I'd like to build too, "Gor Mate, is that a vee-eight?" Thanks Dave, I'm glad you like it. "...cherns my noble. " LOL! That's funny, I love it! Thanks Mike. David G.
Thank you John. Seeing your Monaco on The Board is what prompted me to create this topic. I can't tell toy how much I've learned from seeing the work of other builders. David G.
