Looks great. Seems like this is almost ready for paint. Have you decided on a color?

Round is 3 minutes in a boxing match.

Great idea. Give it that barn find look. I've had a few paint jobs go bad and have found a way to take advantage of the situation. I never been fond of stripping paint.

Space may be the final frontier, however we need to get a handle on the problems on planet earth first.

Agenda is a list of items or things to be done.

A well deserved award. Even unfinished it is stunning work.

Exactly and it can be a subtle difference that dramatically affects the results. It's why you want to use one brand and preferably model paints of one brand and type. Other option is dulicolor lacquer or Mcw or other lacquer paints but use the same brand through the whole process. A manufacturer's line of paint is called a paint system and that way everything is guaranteed to play together nicely.

Best rule of thumb is stick with one brand and type for a paint job. If you follow recoat guide lines there shouldn't be any problems.

Nicely done. The weathered look is a nice touch.

Would have loved to go. However finances would not allow or health. Not sure the thin air would cause me problems with my COPD. Will have to enjoy the show from pictures and show coverage.

Some pictures would help. To my knowledge I haven't heard about any issues with the interior.

Nice clean work so far and great paint.

Didn't see that one coming.

Reminds me of the 57/58/59 impala that was built on a Corvette chassis I think. Looking forward to seeing It in primer to see the design better.

Coming along nicely. Glad to see you're figuring out your 3d printer. Love the gold looking forward to seeing the candy red.

Those doors are a work of art. For the quality of the work ,the work rate is necessary to achieve that level of craftsmanship. I know I wouldn't be able to do it that quick.

I have 2 patches vl airbrushed set up with a5 needle and a 3. When I was going to college in the 70s that what was being used in the art department and sold in the bookstore. I figured they must be reliable if that was chosen and I've been happy with my decision ever since.

I read the britmodeleer article. What was said was two partners started already ll. One came to the US. The US company copyrighted the name and the separate British company could not use the name and changed it. The British company tried to keep the same part numbers but that was not allowed by the US company. Instead of changing the numbers they passed the paint line off to a company named MIG. So the British version of alclad does not exist. As said this is based on what was said however it seems plausible.

Came out great. Definitely suits how they were built.

Carl sorry to hear about your fall. Wish you a speedy recovery. Thank you for checking in in you brightened my day. Take care of your self .

Nicely done. Came out great.

An absolutely stunning set of models.

Absolutely we need more positive thoughts on the board.

What a great project. Nice work on the weathering.

Weather is finally getting warmer. Been waking up in the morning to hear the birds chirping. Even they are pleased with the nicer weather.
