Great build. Great job on the paint! I like it.

Nice work. Came out very nice.

Nice build. Tape off & paint or use some black decal film cut to size.

What a cool car. Great build.

Very nice van, well built.

That's strange. I did add pics to this post. I do not know what I did wrong. Very sorry everyone.

This started out as an old 1/43rd Mikeansue white metal kit I received from one of my clients a few years ago. It was built & painted. Mikeansue kits were from England & were made back in the late 70's & early 80's. After taking the Porsche apart & sanding the paint smooth, the work began by making a new interior from Evergreen plastic. Made a full roll cage, resin seats with 5 point harnesses, Tameo etched pedals, Renaissance steering wheel & a new dash with recessed gauges. Also made wheel wells to stop the see though look. The body got the smoothing treatment. Rescribed all panel lines. Made new bumpers with steel pins for locating/gluing. The headlights were drilled out & modified to accept MV lenses. The new covers were vac formed. The mirrors were made from plastic & brass rod. Wipers are from the Tameo etched range. The rear grills came from the parts box. I was able to use the original vac glass after it was cut up as individual pieces. The wheels are an old set from Robustelli. Paint is from the old Poly Scale metalizer acrylic range, Anodized aluminum. Could mix this color with silver & blue.

Great build. Very clean. Alclad is the best way to go.

Nice build of a really cool car!

Really nice, clean build & color choice. Looks fine to me.

Beautiful build, Steve. Great foil work, as well. Very clean. I like the look of the Trumpeter kit.

Really nice, clean building on the choppers, Jon. Good to see these kits being built.

Great job, Steve. Really cool looking car. Nice for Jimmy to bring us this resin body/Chassis kit.

Chris, the HOC purple I used is called Violet Pearl, which I bought from Black Gold.

Just wanted to say thank you very much for making posting on this sight smooth & easy. Being able to take pics from my computer & not from another photo storage sight like "photobucket" is great.

This is going to be really cool! Good start, so far. Great sculpting work. I do really like the Eliminator/Impala build!

Looking great, so far. Nice clean work & detail painting.

Coming out nice, so far. Really smoothy paint, too. Nice to see some of the old kits being reissued & being built.

A Vette-arossa ! What a cool idea. Looks great. Very nice work. Can't wait to see what color you paint it.

Very nice build on the Renault, looks great.

The '48 is looking very fine fine, so far. That's some nice clean craftsmanship.

The build is turning out great. Very clean. Good match on the colors.

That came out really cool!

Very nice clean building on both of them. They look great.
