That should be an eye catching color combination. David G.

Nice work on the chassis and interior. Everything looks great so far! David G.

Nice metal looking finish on those pipes! David G.

That's a nice photo set. I do agree, the third one is the best of the lot. David G.

Hello Everybody! I'm closing this album with my "Traditional Display Case Shot" Thank you all for your kind words, support and encouragement. David G.

Thank you most kindly Robert. -D-

Excellent progress, nice clean work! David G.

That is really cool, thanks for the link. But it's just not for me I'm afraid. Thanks for your kind comment Steve. This gasser thing just won't go away My plan is to build this as a companion to display with my Rolls. I also have a Jag and a Rover in the stash. Once those are built, that will be about it for the "Great Automobiles of the United Kingdom" display. At least those that are offered in kit form. Thanks again, David G.

It's a beautiful color, it has a nice glow to it. By the results, It looks like your painting technique is solid. Everything's smooth and shiny as it should be. David G.

That bending jig is pretty clever. I also like the flashing work for the floor pan. The uh... "flash in the pan" so to speak. (sorry, if you want better humor than that, you'll need to consult a trained professional) David G.

Hello Everybody! Here's the next update for the London Black Cab. With some primer on the body, the initial sanding pass shows some sink marks. And some parting lines with just a little flash here and there. Overall, the casting is in good shape. Some basic detail painting for the basic chassis plate. Thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to post any comments you may have. David G.

Thank you most kindly Bob. Thank you Atin, I'm glad you like it. David G.

Great looking color combination, excellent detail, a beautiful build Joe! David G.

Seeing all this just makes me smile. Thanks for posting it Daniel. David G.

The gold foil is a nice touch and works well with the purple. I like the dash detail too. David G.

Bolts for the seat brackets... that's some crazy detail! Nice work! David G.

Excellent work Jason! The door panels look like they came with the kit. David G.

A great looking truck so far Bob! It looks like that black paint really behaved itself for you. David G.

After following along with the WIP, it's nice seeing this one in the Under Glass section Jason. The final photos are fabulous and really show off the excellent work you building and weathering this kit. David G.

What you've got done so far on this '57 looks great Bob. Masking them for a two-tone paint job is tricky. If I remember correctly it took me two passes to get the paint laid down on my AMT '57 when I built it earlier this year. That's two full rounds of masking and painting ...for each color! Tape, tape and more tape! It took me almost a whole build session to mask this for the green. Then a second round for the white. Back and front separately. I did use Silly Putty for masking the headlight areas but I still had do do some cleanup after the masking was removed. The masking certainly was a chore but I think it's worth it in the end. I hope you find these pics helpful Bob. If you're interested, here's a link to the WIP. You'll probably remember the build once you get there. Regards and best of luck. David G.

Thank you Stuart, I appreciate your kind critique. Thank you kindly Will. David G.

Hello Everybody! Here's the net to the last set of photos of the 1965 Ford Galaxie 500 XL. It does have a nice rake. Left 3/4 Iso. I used some speaker cloth to make a screen for the openings in the hood scoop. Again, trouble with the hood alignment. ? And finally, the Dual-Quad 427 with cold air induction! @STU111 All I have left to post for this one is my traditional Display Case Shot. Hopefully I'll get to that one soon. Thanks for your patience and support. David G.

Thank you Brian, detail painting is one of my favorite parts of building. I have given some thought about adding weight to the front of the booms. There is space just ahead of the wheels that could accommodate some weight. The questions are how much and how do I add it. The weight adjustments will need to be made after the plane is mostly assembled which makes that rather tricky. I am still thinking about it and I have some ideas, I'll know more as the build progresses. Thanks again Brian, I appreciate your comment and question. David G.

Hello Everybody! Here's the next update on this year's "push the comfort zone build". With the fuselage assembled I wanted to start painting the canopies. I've read comments on line regarding the horrible fit of the canopies so I decided that a test fit was in order. It looks like I got lucky. The fit of the canopies is about as good as I could hope for. All I need to do now is get a satisfactory paint job on the canopy frames. That's all for this post, see you in the next one! David G.

I agree, on bot accounts Peter. Thanks Randy, I am too. David G.
