  1. Great looking build Jay! I know what you mean with the decals, I had the same issue with the Buick GSX. Those long stripes can be tricky. I now make sure to brush on extra water and not use the setting solution until I get the decal in place.
  2. Great looking Camaro! Everything looks great together with the blue exterior and white hounds tooth interior riding on a perfect tire wheel combination.
  3. Thanks Jeff, the inner fenders are part of the interior tub so I had to mask them off as well as the interior.
  4. Thanks everyone for all the feedback, really appreciate it!
  5. Just finished this box stock build. Paint is MCW Viking Blue Met. enamel with Acme 2K clear. Nice kit with almost no fit issues. Did have to heat the chassis a little for some minor warping. I try to do a box stock build after a detailed build just for the fun of it. Got a couple of detailed builds on the bench right now, so may have to stick in another box stock in a little while. LOL
  6. Super clean build. Great paint and love the dropped look!
  7. Another beautiful build! This is one of my favorite Sox & Martin cars.
  8. Followed you on YouTube with this one and you made a great choice going with the gray primer and clearing it. Looks great!
  9. Very cool to see one of these built. Great job!
  10. That is soo cool, absolutely incredible build. Details like the parachute bracket are just next level!
  11. Super cool Mike! Love the engine bay tin work and the window partially down is such a cool detail. Not surprised though, I saw your cars at the HMCA show a few weeks ago and they were all awesome too!
  12. This is super cool. What a great build. Love the work on the body like the little cut outs for the headers and the scoop.
  13. Thanks Daniel, I love the look of the old magnesium wheels.
  14. Thanks Ed, yeah I am very happy with the way this one came out.
  15. Thanks John, yeah I have no idea why they ever thought the slot/tab hood was a good idea. Other than that, they are nice kits. Below are a few other pics as you requested.
  16. Wow, that's a great build! Super clean and dead on.
  17. Just as everyone has said, absolutely beautiful model Chang!
  18. Awesome builds from this kit Garry! Love the color choices and styles you picked. Really gets the vintage drag vibe. I did this kit with the Fiat as a 60's Drag/Show version and the dragster as a bare bones low budget racer.
  19. Thanks everyone, this was a car that I wanted to build for a long time and really enjoyed working on it. I kind of stumbled onto the color. I started with Tamiya Gold, but it was too bright, so I found an old bottle of Testors Model Master gold that looked darker and more like the real car. I thinned it out and had just enough to do a couple of coats. It turned out to be a very close match to the pictures that I had (sometimes you get lucky!).
  20. Thanks for the feedback everyone!
  21. Thanks Garry!
  22. Looks awesome Scott! Yeah, the stuff from VCG Resins is top notch.
  23. Thanks again Hector and Garry!
  24. Thanks Hector!
  25. This is the second model that I ended up finishing in the beginning of August. Made using the Revell 62 Impala SS Hardtop kit. This is a really nice kit. Supposedly only 18 of these factory lightweights were built and there are only two known to still exist. The Chevy lightweights were a response to the Pontiac aluminum front end cars. The hood, front fenders and front bumper were all alluminum. This car was only raced a few times then put away in storage. It has been to auction a few times in the last 10 years or so and is just the way it was when it was put into storage. Paint is Tamiya TS-26 Pure White. Decals are from SMP and tires from an AMT parts pack. Details/Modifications: Prewired Distributor (Morgan Automotive Detail), Rear side windows added, Front fenders decals made, Grille opened up, Heater delete plate, Valve stems, Dipstick
