Amazing work, the lighting and diorama really bring it to life. David G.

Excellent work! Great looking paint and details. David G.

Beautifully done! David G.

Well done! David G.

Well done, I can almost smell the rust and decay. The kitty-cat looks a little out of place though- he's a little too clean David G.

Wow Darren, great progress. Love the color on those wings. David G.

Nicely done! David G.

Looks great! What paints did you use> David G.

Excellent work on both of them, but the color of the convertible is perfect. David G.

Wow! Excellent modifications. David G.

No, don't heat it. I used little bits that I rolled into tiny ropes then coiled around inside the wheel and pressed down to cover the areas to be masked. I checked the fit, then pulled the putty out to add or remove a little bit then tried it again until it was where I wanted it to be. The reason I placed them in the fridge is because the putty will slump within a few minutes at room temperature. I needed to get my airbrush and paint station set up and I didn't want the putty to slump or move in the time it took to do that. Yes, I do reuse the putty. I suppose over time the paint contamination will ruin it, but for now it doesn't seem to do any harm. Here's my putty, you can see the rings I made to mask the wheels. You can get an idea of the "slumping" that I was concerned about. David G.

Nicely done! David G.

Your work is more amazing each time I see it. David G.

Nicely done! David G.

Most Impressive! It could pass for 1:1. David G.

Thank you Chris. It's a good feeling when the things that one spends the most effort on are the things that get noticed. I picked up the Silly Putty tip on this forum and I'm glad to pass it on. David G.

Thank you Bill. After seeing some of the work you've done, I value your comments. David G.

Thank you Matija, I'm glad you like the color. I haven't tried the Alclad clear coat yet- I've heard that it can dull the brightness somewhat. I'm interested in trying Spaz Styx chrome paint, I've heard good things about it. I used the stock ride height. The stock wheels are probably about two scale inches taller than the custom wheels and at the stock setting, they seem to fill the wheel wells nicely. Thanks again, David G.
