    Color is fitting this car nicely; looks like something that would have been offered with the "high impact" colors of yesteryear!
  4. Really clean build; nice. That yellow looks the part for that body style! A bit of overspray on the chassis would have been more true to the real deal, but your nicely detailed bottom pan does a fine job of mimicking an undercoated body! Very cool build.
  5. That LOTG kit has just been re-issued, along with others from that series. The CultTVman shop is the place to get 'em.
  6. Off to a good start!
  7. Always liked the proportions of these cars, but never owned one; they had potential to look really good. Following this build with much interest.
  8. Big fan of customs, and Watson's paint style especially. This is spot on; very nice work. For myself, it would be hard not to coat the entire thing in a coat or two of candy red, to create a more subtle overall look; lowering the contrast between black and cream and becoming a beautiful red-on-deep red show piece. Any way you go, however, this is cool. (correction: Koooool!)
  9. This should be fun!
  10. Really looking the part! This has been a fun follow-along. Do more!
  11. Always wanted to see one of these plumbed up properly. It's voodoo to me.
  12. Fantastic build; that cockpit is really the bee's knees. Keep up the good work! It's worth the wait.
  13. A very cool ride! Where did you find that resin kit?
  14. Cool car; have a related 69 project underway myself. Love that blue!
  15. Ditto!
  16. I loved it when Jethro tried to modify it into a "double-nought spy car" ala James Bond. I think he used a galvanized wash tub turned upside down for a bullet-proof cockpit cover, with a peep hole cut for forward visibility. Beautiful.
  17. Darren Stevens drove a convertible, I think it was a Camaro, but do I recall an Impala from earlier seasons? (Bewitched) Another fun one; Greg Brady bought a piece of junk '55 Chevy convertible, but felt too guilty to pass it on to another sucker. (Brady Bunch)

    Oh yeaeeeaaahhhhh!
  20. I had no idea what a Gama Goat was, but am so glad I clicked to find out! Very nice build, and exemplary paint work. I agree with others that say this needs a simple diorama to display in. Fun stuff!
  21. Wonderful progress; you are working a plan, and it shows.
  22. Good work so far! If I may offer a suggestion, ( I have one of these started (stalled?) and have been mulling over the top issue myself) these kits have a top that is not only too flat, but too tall as well, and you can kill two birds with one stone by filing off the rain gutters and gluing a filler strip in all the openings at the tops of the side windows. I think I used something around 1/8-inch, or 3mm. It has an immediate effect on the proportions of the side glasses which are too tall, and it gives you some "meat" to file on to get a nice radius to the top, and adds visual thickness that is missing. The plastic you've added on the top will allow you to file in a nice crown and get rid of the pancake look. If I can dig up my stalled body, I'll post a small pic to let you see the difference. Great job so far, and this is all we have really for a decent 57 Nomad! We need a modern tool...GREAT MOEBIUS HEAR OUR PLEAS!!!!
