I was totally unaware of the repopped '77, my favorite version of this car. I'd been working out the details of converting the '78 to '77. Thanks for the update Faust. Hey Zoom, SUPERB!

Pretty snappy there Jim.

Gonna have to go along with this one.

Period perfect. Also a pleasure to see your usual flawless execution.

In the end I wasn't really disappointed with the results, but the voting process was a disaster. Lesson learned. 38 days . That puts things in perspective.

Cool! I've got a bubble gum trading card of this car I've had since I was a kid.

Very interesting and believable. Good work and nicely photographed.

Pretty slick Matthew.

I'll go along with that. This actually looks pretty authentic. It's a cool subject matter and aesthetically seems pretty true to the period. It's in decent shape and the details seem right.

In given circumstances, and this might be one of them, I cut the BMF into thin strips first, then lightly lay it down adjusting as I go. Once satisfied, burnish it down. You'll have a nice crisp edge.

Less is more. Nice work.

FWIW, a while back I entered the Google Archives and gathered up all the surviving photos of all the finishers of each year. I can supplement your thread or put up a companion thread Under Glass when the time comes if there's interest. Likewise 6 years ago. When I think about it, this is what got me also to get back out there after ten years to get fresh paint, glue and tool upgrades and become serious about models again.

X2. I don't collect them, but I don't throw them out either. I downloaded one and printed it out on card stock at work. I use it at my desk as a coin box for the pop machine.

Wow, that's a nice car. Carefully crafted and unique subject.

Open headlights... very clever. It's always a pleasure to see what you've been working on. Keep them coming.

That's a beauty. About as good as it can be done, I'd say.

Looks exactly right. Those wheels look right at home with it.

That was a good time for Ertl trucks.

Not as bad as I expected. Not such a long shot from what could have been for some sort of early 60's TV show... Batman or otherwise.

Haven't you watched those home make over shows? You're supposed to smash everything to bits, regardless of how clean and useful it still is. Looks great though.

These are fantastic models. Superb. Your photography is also quite excellent.

I picked up 202 at the Fargo, ND Barnes & Noble. Thought my subscription had run out (it hadn't) and was happy to find this on the shelf.

I'm usually called "methodical." Which is boss speak (and GF speak) for "Quit wasting time on getting it right and just carp it out!"

I love how half the film descriptions begin with "A racing driver..."

That's a great visualization of the scale. A good case of a picture being worth a thousand words.
