  1. This one might be a bit faster than the one I'm doing Great job so far!
  2. Looking good! Your hairspray method seems to have done the trick
  3. Sweet looking build, regardless of the year
  4. Nice collection! That Chevy mule caught my eye, not because it's the first photo either ~ sweet job on the weathering I like the way you have them displayed too... interesting!
  5. Well, I got the body polished... and painted the roof white. I tried to do some trim work as well but my BMF doesn't seem to be sticking too well, so it goes. It's over twelve years old... does it have an expiration date? I'll just have to buy some new stuff and try again later. Here's my progress so far... I also scribed the rear window molding out and penciled in the panel lines on the body... so far so good, I think. The BMF bugs me though ~ it's just not sticky anymore? Oh well... Thanks for looking

    GTO

    Wicked angles on the first couple photos, the stance is perfect! Awesome job on the build ~ it looks mean with that dull paint.
  7. Nice job! It's a little blurry but did you put B.A. in drivers seat? If so... sweet! This was one of my favorite shows growing up! Thanks for the memories
  8. That is beautiful! The first thing I noticed was the chrome trim around the wheel wells ~ holy cow! How did you get it so... perfect?

    2007 GT500

    Looks good ~ I'm liking the way it sits Mean looking! The blur is from the car itself... just slow it down a bit and you'll be fine.
  10. lol, "that's gonna void the warranty" almost choked on my coffee... Looks killer!
  11. Wow! I like it... I like it a lot.
  12. Another sexy ford Can't get enough... yum.
  13. Beautiful car... and that interior, wow! It looks like you can fit a family of ten in there ~ very roomy
  14. I was watching this one from the start It turned out great!
  15. Hey guys, thanks for the comments! I haven't been around lately but finally had a chance to do some work on this beast Spend the day working on the interior, which I might say was a "PITA" The yellow plastic seemed to bleed through the white spray paint, even after five coats??? Now I'm seriously worried about painting the vinyl top... as Dan mentioned. I'll just worry about that when the time comes I used sandpaper to make the speakers, cut to size ~ as well as some floormats... a pencil to draw in the 'cuda door emblems and the detail on the back of the front seats, also flocked the floor to give it that fuzzy look (another first for me) I used BMF for the door handles and window cranks... not to mention the gas and break pedals, with some paint rubbed in to add more detail. (blur blur... ramble ramble) Anyway, here's some progress photos... As for the steering wheel... I tried to drill out the holes for a more realistic look but failed I also wrapped wire around the column to better resemble that thing you see on 'cuda steering wheel columns... also added a turn signal lever? And here it is with everything together... Thanks for looking! I plan to buff and polish out the body sometime this week... wish me luck
  16. Good color choice! These cars always look better with a more exotic color on them your build's coming along great ~ I'll be watching as you post more!
  17. That engine is HUGE! Looking sweet I'm enjoying your detailed descriptions of your build... keep it up!
  18. Sweet color! I was thinking about painting my '72 cuda the same... but decided to go with panther pink instead
  19. That's coming along nicely, awesome detail on the engine! Can't wait to see it finished
  20. I'm in awe every time I look at this Each time feels like the very first, and my impression is always the same... wow!
  21. Looking forward to seeing more of this one, it's going to look sweet!
  22. Like many of the other modelers here, your attention to detail and patience on these builds is amazing ~ I viewed your other posts quite a few times and this one is no different Keep up the good work! I still have a lot to learn
  23. Wow, great job on those flames I didn't notice them at first ~ but now that I do, I can't quit looking!
  24. Nice! That would be crazy seeing on the highway at night, haha.
  25. Amazing work! The little details really show the time and effort you put into it ~ thanks for posting... it was actually pretty fun to look at the second and third time around
