Most impressive! David G.

There is one thing that I'm glad to see and that the use of the term "manual" transmission instead of "standard". Manual transmissions haven't been standard equipment in most American cars since the 70s. And, yes, I can drive one. David G.

Nicely done! David G.

Excellent work! David G.

Thanks Chris, I'm pretty pleased with the way it came out. Thanks Martin, it's actually a pretty good kit that builds a solid model with some minor fit issues. Thanks Derick. I'm considering that myself- all three versions are available. David G.

I built one a few months ago and it came out almost exactly like that. It seemed that the body was going to sit too high at either the front or back. I made the same choice it seemed to be the better looking option. As far as fixing that issue? My impression was that the interior tub was a little too wide and/or too high so I filed down the pads that surrounded the mounting holes on the bottom of the interior tub. That didn't quite do the trick so I heated the interior tub and squeezed the sides in a little. I got the body to sit a little lower over the interior and chassis but it still wasn't perfect. At that point I decided that I could live with it the was it was. David G.

Nicely done! Great color choice. David G.

That came out nice. Too bad it's difficult to see all the interior work you did on it. David G.

Thank you Hector. Thanks Dave... and a photo quote, wow David G.

Beautifully done! David G.

Looks great, nice paintwork! I just picked up one of these a couple of weeks ago. I'm thinkling about cracking into it. David G.

Top notch work! Love the added detail, everything looks fantastic. David G.

Thank you Yuri Thanks Donald Thanks Carl David G.

12PM is noon, I didn't think Sweden was far enough north for sunlight at midnight, but hey, I've never been there. David G.

I thought it was natural light it just looked a little unusual to me. I guess I'm just not used to midnight sun David G.

Nicely Done! David G.

Good color combination, looks nice. What did you use for lighting your photo? David G.

Excellent work! Not my particular cup of tea, but well done all the same. David G.

Thanks Michael. The exterior finish is actually metal of some sort- electroplated over styrene I presume. I did have some issues with masking the body for detail painting as the tape tended to pull off the dull coat finish on the metal. I cleaned up the damaged finish and re-sprayed it with Testors Dull Coat. Though not perfect, it helped out quite a bit. Thank you Geoff. David G.

Good call, and nicely done. David G.

Thank you Steve Wow I didn't know that there was a glue kit. Is it any more detailed than the snap kit? I also agree about the use of "iconic" but "paradigmatic" seemed a little pretentious and wouldn't have been entirely correct. Besides I don't use it that often. Thanks David, it was a little challenging deciding just how much detail would have been too much. David G.

Thanks Don, that's very kind of you. Thanks Rex, I'll have to check that out. Thank you Eric, I'm glad you like it. David G.

The Back To The Future DeLorean Time Machine. Aside from the Batmobile, one of the most iconic movie vehicles ever! I thought DeLoreans were cool from the moment that I first saw one so you can imagine what effect this movie had on the DeLorean's coolness factor. This is a Snap-Together kit by Polar Lights. It's not extremely detailed but the detail that is present serves to create the illusion of the movie car. I did have to do some shaving and tweaking to get the Quantum Flux Array to fit properly over the back of the car and mate with the rear panel under the back of the car. For the most part, though, pieces fit together as intended and little or no adhesive was required. For those who are interested, I did do a build thread that shows progress and a couple of minor modifications I made. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

I built one of these a few months ago, it's a fun kit. You're adding a bit more detail to yours than I did to mine- looks great so far. David G.

You're off to a good start. David G.
