W-409

Hello and welcome to the forum! And cheers from Finland! Your Nova looks amazing. Great to see these traditional Muscle Cars being built without modern engines or giant wheels. I like the paintjob, it's very shiny, and smooth too. Grille looks very realistic, you've done that black wash nicely. I also like the engine detailing alot. Really nice model with no too big mistakes. Your First model, Huh, I can't believe, really great work that I haven't got to that stage after 35-40 models built. Really amazing job with this one, keep coming...

That last picture is truly amazing. Shows that there are no mistakes, and paintjob looks incredible! Color is very good too. Great conversion, but I'm not sure about that rear end. It should look bit more '49 Mercury, I think. But it's not bad, now it only looks like too flat, without Mercury's great body shapes. But that's just a little thing, really nice model indeed. Maybe bit smaller wheels should look good too, but those aren't too bad.

Nice to see Chevrolet Vega here. I like the overall look, the paintjob is really good, and decals seems to be nicely on their places. Nothing wrong with this model. How about some engine pictures?

Here is a link to Finnish Car Modelers Association forum. That is finnish bike, Jopo from the seventies. http://fcma.fi/FCMAB....php?f=6&t=7312 (In Finnish...) Really great job as always.

LONG LIVE RUST, as someone likes to say. Nicely weathered Pickup. Engine looks very good too, from what I can see. Great job with it, it's pretty hard to make car look rusty, but also realistic.

Nice job with it. It's impossible to say constructive criticism about it. Color choice is very good, and paintjob is nice. I like those re-chromed bumbers, you did very good job with them. This car is very small, in 1:1 scale too. Nice job.

This is incredible!!! I've enjoyed following this one, and now at the end of this project, I can say that it's truly amazing. There are no any mistakes, and everything is done very nicely. It's just so realistic, that I can't say anything else, very nice job with it, and THANKS for sharing!

Very nicely built Tribute! That is a great idea to build this as a Mopar. Paintjob looks good, and decals are fitting nicely. I like the detailing of it. Great to see this completed, you did good job with it..

This is really great looking build! I like the color on it, and paintjob is very nice. I like the engine too, but maybe I'd change those valve covers. They have bit too much race look for this style Hot Rod, I think... But it's of course the best how builder likes it. But very nice Hot Rod all over, keep these great models coming.

Well, I have used Detail Master's Battery Hardware set, that's great. I usually build the bracket from scratch, or then I use one from that hardware set. There's only one type of bracket on the set, so sometimes it needs to be scratchbuilt. Then of course painting the details, and photo etch cable clamps. It works fine, here is a picture of '70 Super Bee's battery which is detailed with that hardware set, and some scratchbuilt parts.

Those tires... Where are they from? Really relistic looking, and haven't seen Hoosier tires very often. Nice project, this Mustang is going to be real nice, as always.

There's nothing wrong with that paint, very nice! Smooth and pretty shiny, looks good. Maybe bit of polishing, or waxing would make it look even better? Nice job with those little details too, this project is going to be amazing when finished.

Yes, they are from the kit. The boxart shows only the "Lightning Express" decals, but those are included.

Because it's so ugly?

Cool, this is absolutely the only way to make Toytoa Supra interesting.

Thanks! I tried that battery cable-thing, how to make it look more realistic. It turned out Ok, but I can't post picture from it now, because my camera got broken... I can still post older pictures, but can't take new ones anymore. Needs to get a new one and then I'll post picture to you from it. Thanks.

This is really nice too! Figures are bit large, but otherwise they are pretty good, I think. One thing really caught my eye. Those cylinder heads aren't looking very realistic, when valve covers are off. I'd make some detailing there, but otherwise really nice build, I like it. Here is a picture what I did to my AMT Cylinder heads, not perfect, far away from that, but anyway. Original cylinder head, VS detailed one.

This is really nice and clean build. Nice to see something other too, than Bel Air. Colors are nice, and paintjob looks good. I also like those wheels and tires, they look pretty realistic. Also engine is nicely done. Can't find any mistakes, other than that front fender, that you already mentioned. Cool build.

Really nice work again, Mark! That looks good. I like how you modified the side trim to match the real car. Nice job with it. Looking forward to see more work with it. Great start. Where you find these decals, I'd like to build some Nascar racer also, but I'd like to have decals for that too.

Hood is primered from the both sides now. It's bad that hood is not detailed from the "wrong side", so I didn't take time to modify it realistic, because this might be the last time, you can see it from that side. I'll paint it maybe next week, same time I must paint the Hemi Dart Super Stock. Hope the weather is good, so I can paint it then.

One more picture.

I have painted that front clip of the body from both sides now. Also added decals. Some of them went nicely on their places, but some of them were really hard to install right. I had to shorten two of them and used lots of Micro Sol to make them look better. They aren't good now, but I must clear the body next week and then I can fix those decals with white paint.

One more picture, thanks for looking! Now here comes a little break for building, this weekend I'll be at Finnish Drag Racing event. Finnish Championchip Finals, hope there's no rain.

Nice job with this Big Ford! This is truly a sleeper. I like that engine, and detailing of it. Paintjob is also very nice. I like that scoop on the hood, and of course those wheels and tires are nice. Nice job with it, keep these models coming.
