Thanks Carl, I'm growing to like it myself. David G.

The primer looks good Bob. Nice work on the fuel cell too. David G.

Fabulous work, museum quality! David G.

Excellent weathering and detail, great build! David G.

The interior and body look great! David G.

Nicely done! David G.

I really like the wheels and the color combination you used for the interior. That engine though 😮 ! That engine would make for one scary sleeper! Fabulous work! David G.

The varnish really livens up the wood. It looks even better with a proper gloss on it. Curious thing about the color changing carpet. Maybe the adhesive drew the pigment from the paint? One wouldn't expect PVA to interact like that. David G.

Good call on the hood Bob. I think modeling it in the opened position looks much better than lifting the entire thing off every time you want to show the engine. Seeing your take on this makes me want to build something from this time period just to try that out. Well done! David G.

It's shaping up quite nicely Niko. David G.

Impressive results for the burl walnut trim! Thanks for sharing your technique, I'll have to try that next time I need such a finish. I like the combination of colors you're using for the interior. Together they have a warm, dark, almost smoky feel to them. It brings to mind a faint smell of leather with just a hint of bourbon and cigars. I think Mr. Webb will be pleased. David G.

Great looking paint and foil work! David G.

What a fabulous build! David G.

It's from a spray can.

Good to know, thanks. Without the tips you provided I would have painted both the splash guards the same color as the body. Speaking of body colors, the main color on your '57 looks similar to Tamiya's Cobalt Green. Maybe a little more pine green. Cool photo BTW. Thanks again Andy. David G.

Hello Everybody! Just a quick update on the '57. I've been working on the body prep concurrently with the chassis. With that nearly complete I decided to reward myself with a quick color check by masking and shooting the doors with the primary body color, Tamiya TS-107 Cobalt Green. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

Your car looks just as nice as the other one Andy, I love the side pipes! Your car is actually closer to the color I ended up choosing, Tamiya TS-107 Cobalt Green. I love Rustoleum colors but I don't always have the best of luck with their paints. I'm probably just used to Tamiya's spray cans, which are designed for painting models. Rustoleum is designed more for painting lawn furniture and sprays accordingly. I often have a difficult time adjusting to the differences between the two. One more question Andy. Were you referring to the splash guard between the body and the front bumper? And if so, is the rear one also argent silver or body color? Thanks again Andy for all the pointers you're providing, David G.

Thank you David, it's nice knowing that one is not alone when it comes to such things. Thanks Greg, as I mentioned I did consider that but I wanted to be sure leveling the beacon was worth the effort before I started altering it. I may still do that. But for now at least, I just need to be done with this one. Thank you most kindly Carl! David G.

It's nice seeing this one back on the bench. Do you plan to rebuild it similar to what it was before or something different? David G.

That's going to be one impressive little monster when it's done! 😮 Excellent work on this so far Bob. David G.

It's all coming together quite nicely. The carpet will look great once the paint is applied. One advantage to building in the larger scales is the ability to use more conventional materials without them looking out of scale. David G.

The body work is nice and smooth, looks great! David G.

That turned out great. It looks like a fun kit to build. David G.

Nicely done! I built one of these a while back and found it an enjoyable experience. David G.

See?! I'm tellin' ya! -D-
