That helps. Thanks again, Casey.

Thanks, Casey, but that's the site you go to when you click the link in the MCM article. I must just be missing it, but when I'm on that page how do I contact Two Cats to order a kit? Thanks again.

Does anyone have contact info for Two Cats Resins? I went to the link in the article on the MCM home page, but I couldn't find any contact or ordering info. Thanks.

Nice clean build. I also liked the heat staining on the exhausts.

Sharp build!

Thanks again for the kind comments, Guys. Harry and Skip, I'm with you on the scale effect of the metal flake. The bright light and closeup pictures makes it look a little more pronounced that in real life, but it's still more than I'd like. I actually painted this car with the Zero Paints version of this color and it was even worse. I stripped it and repainted it with the Scale Finishes silver and it improved enough to go ahead and finish the build. I'm starting to use Tamiya sprays with a urethane clear, and the flake on their metallics is a lot better. To your question Matija, I think the Fujimi kit came out before the Revell version, at least I know I had it first. For this one, I thought the molding was a little crisper than the Revell version, but I have a number of other Revell Ferraris and plan to build them.

Thanks for the kind words, Guys!

Nice model and good photography!

This is the Fujimi kit with some Crazy Modeler p/e screens and details added. I replaced the seats with resin Daytona ones from KA and replaced the one-piece kit engine with a full engine from the Revell 430. Paint is Scale Finishes Grigio Titanio with a urethane clearcoat. All comments, positive and negative, are welcome. Thanks for looking!

Absolutely stunning build. That's one of the best scale Ferrari engines I've seen and the interior is outstanding. Also, the finish and paint scheme are great. Well done!

That is very cool! Great Job!

Nice build! Your model brought back memories. My dad owned one too, but his was in Glen Green. Also, I bought a '58 Impala in 1979. That one was a little past its prime, but I had fun in it for about a year or so.

Hi, Chris. I used a circle cutter by a company named Olfa. It's like a compass with a blade on one end. I think I picked it up at an art supply store and have been surprised how often I use it. For example, in painting the wheels, I first sprayed them white then masked the centers with masking tape discs I cut with the circle cutter, so I could paint the aluminum rims.

Really nice build, Henry. Great detail under the hood.

Thanks for the kind comments, Guys.

This is the Monogram slot car body converted to a shelf model. It started out as a test mule while I tried to find what I thought was an accurate Guardsman Blue that I could use when I built my HRM 1/24 Daytona Coupe. I finally settled on Automotive Touchup paint and it came out well enough on the 1/32 version that I decided to finish it. The wheels and tires are available as Monogram aftermarket parts, but since the wheels were chrome, they had to be stripped and painted. The stripes and roundels were cut from white decal material. The numbers and sponsor decals were cobbled together from various 1/32 and 1/24 sheets. Some of the decals are a little out of scale, but I always liked the look of the 1965 Sebring Daytonas, so I just decided to go ahead with what I had. It's far from perfect, but I'm calling it done. All comments, positive and negative are welcome. Thanks for looking!

Really nice work, Fred. Whose decals are those?

Jim, I built a 900SS a couple of years ago. I stripped the chrome from the exhausts, glued the muffler halves together, sanded the seams, and refinished with Alclad Chrome. I attached some pics below. Hope that helps!

Looks great, Ray!

Thanks, Guys for the kind words. Joe, the kit I used was the Vmax 1200, No. 30 in the Naked Bike series. I got it in 2003, so I'm not sure if they're still around, but I doubt there's very much difference among the versions. Here's a link to a picture of the box from my kit: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10011072 Hope this helps!

This is the Aoshima 1/12 kit with the Hobby Design detail set. The p/e engine details are painted Alclad Copper. Paint is House of Kolor Cinnamon Pearl. All comments, positive and negative, are welcome. Thanks for looking!

I like it!

Really nice work, Shane.

Thanks, Curtis. I used black gouache on the window trim. You can get a tube any place that sells art supplies, like Hobby Lobby here in the US. I thin it with water with a tiny drop of dish soap and brush it on the trim a neatly as possible. For any place where I go "outside the lines", the excess can be cleaned off with a toothpick dipped in water. If I totally mess it up, it can all be wiped clean with a wet Q-Tip. The process is pretty risk-free. Hope this helps!

Looks good, Chris!
