  1. This just gets better and better! Your interior treatment is excellent and works well with the overall feel of other mods. David G.
  2. What else is there to say? Fantastic work on every level! David G.
  3. I've also used the steel wire from garbage bag twist ties. After stripping off the plastic coating, the wire inside is about the right scale for brake and fuel lines and has a nice metallic look. David G.
  4. ...that's a first.... David G.
  5. I'm sure I've said this before, but I'll say it again because it's true. Your skills and craftmanship are awesome! I can't wait to see this completed, thanks for sharing the progress pics. David G.
  6. I grab the twist ties that come in the box with the plastic garbage bags we buy. We normally tie the tops of the bags "rabbit-ear" style, so all the ties that come in the box are "extra". Also, having never been twisted, they're nice and straight and I think the wire is a little higher quality than the bread-ties. David G.
  7. Excellent conversion! David G.
  8. Once again, wow... just wow! David G.
  9. Excellent rust work. With the right backdrop, it could pass for a 1:1. David G.
  10. David G.

    Boss 302

    With the Chargers, Camaros and the rest of retro movement, I'm surprised that Ford hasn't built one of these. Yours is excellent, great detail! David G.
  11. Well done, I love the color combination. Good luck in the contest. David G.
  12. It's coming along nicely. Good color choice for the interior and excellent foil work. David G.
  13. Phantasm? I don't think I'd ever imagined painting that car that color, but in some odd way, it works. David G.
  14. I built one of these too. In spite of the mold lines, and the slightly warped frame that mine had, it's a great kit and I enjoyed building it. Yours is coming along nicely. The paint job you've done looks great. David G.
  15. Very impressive! It's really shaping up nicely. David G.
  16. Excellent weathering and paint. The missing trim pieces really kick it over the top. David G.
  17. Here's one I built a number of years ago, a 1950 Chevy with a six cylinder. David G.
  18. Good point. David G.
  19. That works surprisingly well, it really changes the whole character of the vehicle. Excellent work! David G.
  20. Thanks, sounds like one more reason to spring for an airbrush. David G.
  21. These are very cool, but what is the approximate scale? David G.
  22. Anything worth doing is worth overdoing! If you want flasy, go with a gold block and chrome tin for the engine. For the gold you could use the same color as the chassis or, better yet, use metalizer for that anodized look. I'm not a big low rider fan, but if you're going over the top, might as well go all the way! David G.
  23. Yes! You could use either a clear strip of acetate or a bent piece of clear sprue as an armature to support the caulk. I've used this method to create water falls on a model railroad and it works very well. Water tends to fall over a water falls in broad sheets, strip-like streams and ribbons, so acetate works well as a foundation for that kind of effect. Obtaining the round stream that a fire hydrant would create may be a bit of a challenge, but it should be workable. As I mentioned earlier, a piece of clear sprue would likely work better than a flat strip of acetate. David G.
  24. Hmmm... Four builds means I'll need to buy four kits..... to start with. I really hope this kit doesn't fade before release like some others have. David G.
  25. To quote the old song... "C is for C-Cab, that's good enough for me... C-Cab, C-Cab, C-Cab starts with C!" I've been watching this for a while now. You've got a very cool project going with this one, Cookie makes it just that much cooler. David G.
