Sweet! All three, like Harry said you do flawless paint work.

The engine is incredible as is the rest of the model. Love your work.

Welcome Lazlow and thanks for sharing. Looking forward to your future builds.

Looking good, glad to see you're still at it.

It looks cool with the whitewalls, also love the paint color.

Awesome thread you've got going here on this one. Glad to see you back in business. I love everything about it so far.

Another nice one Carl, I love the Sleeper look. Keep 'em coming. The paint is killer!

That IS pretty cool! I'll have to admit, Big scale is looking pretty good to me here lately, diecast or otherwise. The Oh Henry is very clever.

Awesome! What a beauty!

It's a real Hot Rod! I love it, nicely done.

I can't believe that many people knew, congrats to all of you. I thought it looked like some kind of Canadian Checker.

Take care and listen to your Doctors. Hope you are feeling a lot better by now.

Very sorry to hear of this terrible accident. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and yours.

Jim, You inspired me to buy my first can of rootbeer, paint that is. I just returned from Hobby Lobby with a can of Testors Root Beer, now to decide what to use it on. I am thinking about the '48 Ford Custom. It's all your fault!

I know what you mean about getting pushed to the side. Sometimes I just want to go back to when I could just build them without the details. Just finished a snap kit and I love it.

Looking good! I like the flames and the paint color. I finally got mine started with a box stock approach, I think I like yours better. Are you going to add wires? Just wondering because I need some reference and was going to look at yours. I don't know much about fuel lines on this one either I will stay tuned, nice progress so far.

It looks like the one on the box art, nice job.

I may skip the black chrome for a while, thanks for the warning. Thanks also to Tom for sharing your two models here, both very nice examples, and for your encouragement thanks also.

Congratulations Roger on your winning bid, maybe you could give me some tips on how you do that, I have not been so lucky lately on ebay.. It sounds like it is all coming together. I like the direction you are going on this one.

Thanks guys, and the next one I'm thinking may be one from the '40s when there was not much chrome involved. It is really hard not to care about a model you spend so much of your time on. I guess what I was really after was one that I could concentrate more on the foil and not so much on other crazy detail. This one fit the bill. I have been bashing BMF for a long time, now it's time to go to work. When I feel confident enough I want to tackle a '58 Impala. And tedious and swearing are two words that do come to mind. Part of me still wants to re-do some of it. Thanks for all the comments, I really didn't expect this one to get this much attention "Under Glass".

Didn't want to comment before now, wasn't sure about this one. Cutting up a '57 Ford Custom already? Nooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!! Well that has all changed, you have done it again Doc! Somehow you make those parts look awesome before they even come together. I can't wait to see the finished product.

This is my old truck!!! Kidding aside, It looks like one I purchased for $100 back in 1973 with plans on restoring it, it was too far gone. Nice job and thanks for the memory. Oh, and nice removal of the rear quarter windows, I just noticed after looking back.

Nice job Jim. I like your two tone interior and the paint on the body is perfect. It almost looks black in the photos if I didn't know better. The Ardun engine treatment is a nice touch. I love this body style and still do not have one in my collection.

Thanks guys, Yeah those are the kit wheels and script I hand painted with Testors gold. This was only my second complete BMF job so far, I still need a lot of practice. There are places on the foil I am not 100% pleased with and I can re-do some of it I guess. After all it's just a snap kit. I do agree with Bob and Jeff, it's a nice shelf model and one of the best representations of the Bel Air. Funny how I notice the flaws in the pictures, like the corner of the license plate. I missed that obviously before the photo session. Thanks again for looking and please leave any tips.

Just finished this Revell '57. I wanted to practice some Bare Metal Foil on a body I didn't care about, by the suggestion of a fellow club member. Sometimes all the stars seem to line up on one piece of foil then, the next one might take three attempts. I just can't quite get the hang of it. All in all the model is a fun quick build but, way too much foil.
