W-409

Stuart, that looks really good! Can't believe that it's your 4th model so far. Paintjob looks good and decals are fitting nicely. Interior looks very nice also. Wheel and tire choice is great, but next time those center parts of the wheels should be black. Around the bolts. But anyway, great job with it, detailing is also great.

Interesting project, how is the quality of that El Camino kit? I'd like to have one too, but I have no idea about the quality... Engine looks good, nice job with the weathering. Keep it going, I'll be watching.

Wow, that's cool! This is absolutely something different, but really nicely done. That tractor looks very good, and so does that plow too. This is really typical here in Finland, someone is plowing his field and then there are lots of those birds flying behind the blow and trying to find something to eat. Great job with this, came out really nice.

It looks like Real to me. Tires look very realistic, and I didn't find any "typical" scale model-mistakes from it. Well, let's see on friday, what it really is...

Great color choice! I like that paintjob too. And chassis progress is always great to see, detailing is awesome. This is really nice Camaro, body lines fit perfectly to Pro Street car. Can't wait to see more.

Wow! Great job with that engine. Details look very good, and realistic too. And it's interesting to see, what's coming next. Keep this going, I'll be watching this one.

I bought some liquid for black wash. By The Detailer, and I had to test how it works. This engine is now bit greasy, but I think, it turned out OK. I'll add some oil and grease to the frame also, but not too much. That seems to be very good stuff. And easy to use.

Really great looking '57 Chevy! I like the idea of this build, something unusual. Paintjob looks really good to me, and engine is great. The wheels and tires look very good too, I think. Nothing wrong with it, I like this very much.

Really beautiful Camaro. I like the paintjob and decals look very good too. Engine detailing looks really great, and I like how you fit the chassis and body together from different kits. Maybe I would have done some black wash to the grille, but it's not bad like that either...

Wow, this project looks very interesting. I like the paintjob, and color is really nice. Engine sounds and looks very interesting too... Can't wait to see more work with it, keep going.

Cool idea of building '58 Thunderbird just like Hirohata Mercury! Paintjob looks good, and I like that body shaping. Great build, detailing is super clean. Interior looks good too. Great job with this, I like Old School Styled Customs.

Thanks, Mark. But I'm afraid that it's too late already. They are glued with Super glue and I guess if I try to get 'em off, those seats will get off before I can get those belt buckles away. But thanks, I will do that thing better in next model.

I bought these from local Model Car Contest: -Jo-Han '71 Sox&Martin Cuda. It's a glue bomb, but in good condition. There are no important parts missing, and it's in good shape overall. -Fox-Bodied Mustangs. They are glue bombs too, pretty rough ones, but I will build them nicely, I hope. Other one is chopped and the body has interesting story, I'm glad, it's me who builds it once more... -'60 Corvette glue bomb. I have only the body, doors, chassis and interior plate. It will be radical street car. -'49 Mercury Police Car Snap Kit from MPC. It will be Custom with Police specialities, and I do only little things to make it look more realistic. -Some liquid for black wash by The Detailer. -Resin Slot Mag wheels, cast by Finnish Modeler. -Some yellow ignition wire. -Underhood Insulation Material. -And some Braided Line. If I forgot to say something, I'm sorry. IF anyone wants to see pictures of those, just let me know, and I'll be posting few pics.

Thanks! I'm going to sand that hood tomorrow, and maybe I can paint some primer on it too. Or then more putty, let's see. I need also better register plate to the front, that one is just piece of paper, where I wrote those letters... I must make one, which matches to that one on the rear end. There are some other little things to do, but it's getting very close.

Here are two pictures of that Corvette in Model Car Contest. Almost finished, but still In Progress...

More pictures...

Here are some more WIP pictures. Only parts which are missing, is the hood and some star decals. I had some problems with the doors, but now everything fits somehow and Corvette was ready for the Model car Contest. Here are some pictures, and I'd like to say again, THE CAR IS STILL WIP. Handbrake handle is scratchbuilt.

I understand that, but I was just thinking, how it could look better. I've never raced with Slot cars, so I don't know all of the "tricks". I was just thinking about how it looks. Maybe I must build one Slot Car, just for fun. Home made one, of course even if it would be slow.

Great build. Clean and there are no too big mistakes. That engine detailing is very nice, and I like the paint and decals. The frame looks good too. Good job, keep models coming.

That's true, what Bart says! Of course it's faster with those wheels, but I was thinking about how it looks with them...

Wow, interesting post by Joe! Great information. This project is waiting for busy builder. I'm having that '64 Corvette to finish today and then I'm trying to get Firebird FC ready. Maybe after them, I can continue this one (and some others too).

Great build. Paintjob looks very good, and I like that engine detailing alot. Wheels and tires are very realistic. Good pictures also. That last shot is my favorite, register plate looks good and grille is just like real one.

I'd like to see Nader's face after he would have seen this one! Great job with it, this shows that great model doesn't need windows. Paint looks great and detailing is amazing. Those wheels and tires look amazing too. There's nothing to complaine. Great build, I enjoyed very much when watching the WIP topic.

Few mock up pics... Oh, it's getting dark here...

Well, times have changed. I'm going to that Model Car Contest, and I'm having little hurry with this build. I can't get it 100% finished, there will be few decals missing from the chassis and hood can't be ready in that time. But I'll display it with hood off, as always. I waxed the body and put some BMF. Rear window is built from acetate and windshield is installed too. Engine is completed and installed to chassis. There are still lots of parts missing, and tomorrow will be long day-and night with this project. But it'll be finished, I'm pretty sure about that...
