That color has a really nice glow to it Bob. David G.

Wow Jim, this build has really become a headache for you! It seems like every time I check in on this thread there's another problem or issue that you're having to deal with. Those molds must have really degraded in the time since the one I build was cast. I feel like I got lucky with the one I built. All your work addressing the issues has been excellent and I've enjoyed following along with your build. David G.

WOW! Tremendously impressive building skills. What a fantastically well done project. David G.

Nice work! I built one of these a few years ago and I agree, it's a fun kit and it does build up nicely. David G.

It's great seeing an update on this Si. As it is knowing that you're still around and working on it. I'm still amazed at the length and depth of work and detail you've put into this. By any chance, have you been keeping track of your time investment on this project? I'd be curious to know how many hours you've logged on this build. David G.

What an awesome color! It's perfect for a Sixties era gasser. David G.

Very cool and very well built. David G.

Hello Everybody! My work on the AMT Surf Shark ambulance has been slow and steady as the saying goes. So here's the next update, brief though it be. Now that I have a satisfactory paint job on the body, it's time to move on to the tail fins. I've painted the fins and since the chrome on the side points was in similar condition to that of the rest of the kit, I've stripped it and use some Molotow to replace it. I brush-painted the side points with Molotow and foiled the fins with BMF. Now they're ready to install on the body when the time comes. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

Thanks Carl. Thanks Steve, that makes two of us. Thank you Joe. I have a small update ready to post right now. David G.

You have some complex modifications going on here. I'm impressed. David G.

The mockup has a great looking profile to it. David G.

Thank you Rich, I'm glad to have you along. David G.

Now that's how a Land Rover should look! In addition to the excellent build, the mud and dirt are very convincing, well done! David G.

Great looking paint and detail! David G.

Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best. David G.

Good progress on this Jim. That dent is interesting. Dd the solvent in the goo cause the plastic on the fender to soften enough to deform? David G.

Thank you D.W. David G.

It came out good in spite of the troubles it gave you. David G.

Nicely done! Love the color and matching camper top. David G.

Seeing that makes my heart sink. Hopefully you can give it a new lease on life. David G.

Hello Everybody! Here's the next update on the AMT Surf Shark ambulance conversion. I got a break in the weather as it finally warmed up enough to do some painting in my outdoor studio. I was able to color sand the ambulance body and put another coat of paint on it. Unfortunately, the second coat was kind of pebbly when it went on, I think it may have still been a little too cold to paint outside. The paint did even out as it dried but it's not much better looking than before I color sanded it. It's time to do a mockup before I yank the tape to see if I can live with the paint the way it is. I think that once the foil is done and the decals are added, it will look good enough. I will do a bit of a polish on it though. That all for now. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment. David G.

Yes, I'm intrigued with 3D printing and I agree with you that it will likely replace resin in the aftermarket parts and accessories market. I have been thinking about getting a 3D printer but I don't yet know enough about them or the associated tech to be competent in making a good, informed decision. There are several models that I'd like to buy the files for, print out and build. I'd really like to get the Batmobile from the 2022 movie The Batman. Gambody has an awesome looking file set for it, here's a link. It costs about as much as a full-on boxed kit just for the files so you can print your own kit. I'm really looking forward to seeing your WIP on that Studebaker truck, I'll keep an eye out for it. Thanks again, David G.

Nicely done! I really like the fuel lines you added. David G.
