Very cool and great decals. How did you make it look like gold flake on the name? Perry

That is beyond cool. I really like the rolled down window. I have to try that. Of all the details, I pick that. Well done. Perry

Got a nicer shade of red on the body. It looks shinier than the pictures. A little buffing and it will be good. Perry

Have in the purple bath. Seems to be doing well. Have to see how paint goes again. Perry

It’s a spray can enamel. I have a purple degreaser I’ll try. Perry

Starting on this Camaro for a friend at work. Wish I had a template for the windshield black surround. Hard to mask or hand paint. I see I will have to re-do the dash. Gauges are black with white numbers. One problem I am having is the paint crazed. I primed as I usually do, the sprayed a light mist of the red and let it dry a little. Then sprayed heavier coats. I've done it like this before and it's been OK. Now I need to strip it. What do you all use to strip paint? Perry

Thank you. I have to post some cars now too. Perry

Here's a Helo I did for my son-in-law that flies them. A CH-53E, Academy kit.

Nice to see these Craig. I have seen his work up close and it is super clean and perfect. Perry

Very nice. Pretty color, kind of a willow green. Perry

Yeah the hood is a bit wonky. I tried to heat and straighten, but didn't want to stress it. It's hard because it's a 73 body and the rest is either 75 or 68 Vette. Still, I'm happy with it, and hope my neighbor will be too. Perry

Scripts and letters and logos are PE. Finished it. Fought me all the way. Perry

Couple update pics. Coming together.

Looks really nice. Do you work for Schneider? My wife does, and is retiring after 40 years. Perry

I’m not very good at WIP’s because I’m a slow builder. But, I’m working on a Corvette for my neighbor. It’s mostly stock, I’m wiring the engine, PE from MCG, a mix of parts from the AMT 70 LT-1, and MPC 74 convertible. Paint is a Krylon burgundy. It doesn’t show here, but I’m having trouble fitting the hood. It hits the windshield and doesn’t lay in place. Wondering if I should shave some thickness from the hood, or cut some off the windshield? Perry

That looks much better. I'd like to do one of those too. I would put the Rover (BOP) V8 in one. I also do 1/43 scale so there are a lot more LBC's available in that scale. Perry

I too would like a TR 6 kit. I also have a Mimosa Yellow one. I have a 1/18 die cast I’ve taken apart to paint. Need 1/18 scale mini lites for it. Any one know where I can get those? Perry

Saw this over on FChat today. Thought I'd share. I was out at Pebble Beach a few years ago, and though I didn't see this Superamerica, there was a different on I saw. Totally different look. Perry

If you're interested in detail photos, try posting a request on FChat. There are people with amazing knowledge and resources over there. Perry

That is really cool, and well done. I've wondered how these kits look built. Some of the earlier ones were less than 3D it seemed. Kinda flat and featureless. Perry

I've got this Teapot kit as well as a Breadvan trans-kit, a 330 LMB trans-kit, and a Herb Deeks Lancia D50, and a couple other old resin kits. Perry

Nice model. I like that look. I think the pillars you're chroming are C pillars as the B pillar is still in between the doors, just doesn't extend to the roof. I used to bring my building stuff with me on my monthly trips to the U.P. Also rebuilt my TR6 gearbox on a motel room floor in Escanaba once. Perry

Very pretty. Really like the dark blue. It’s a ‘74 with the rubber overrides removed. I’ve had it since ‘77. It’s pretty stock except an S2 cam, higher compression, and SU’s. It’s a dependable driver. That’s my son driving it with his girlfriends son. Perry

Nice garage picture. The Challenger really does make the 6 look tiny. I really like mine.

Thanks. They look realistic. Perry
