Excellent detail work, and thanks for sharing your process on this. Can't wait to see the outcome!

That looks like a proper little wagon, and if it were real, I'd have one. It works! Well done.

Nice clean build. The color is eye-catching, and suits the wagon well. Excellent work!

Beautiful job on that Caddy kit. Love that Tamiya pearl green. Well done.

Ditto on the color. It has that comic book feel, where deep black is always highlighted with blue. Perfect color of night in Gotham! Can't wait to see it all buttoned up.

As is the Monogram '64 GTO. Different wheels, stock chassis, two four barrels with chrome stacks, etc..

A Tim Boyd model with plug wires? Seldom seen!

Great looking model of a great looking car!

Very nice! It's hard to pick a favorite! Well done x 2.

Right? It shouldn't take much to make a difference. I like how it makes nearly the entire wheel/tire visible - more aggressive looking!

If that's the car in the picture above, the wheelbase may not be altered, but the wheel opening has been worked over. It has been enlarged, or at least raised up, no doubt to make tire changes easier. Note how the top of the opening is above the body line that used to extend back from the opening "lip".

Maybe just shoot some clear on it to provide a safe decal base?

Very nicely done. Perfect shade of blue that compliments the wood beautifully. Great job!

I can't decide whether to laugh or cry! Excellent craftsmanship either way.

That's just pretty! Got to find that color; it's a great color for classics.

Gorgeous color for a '67! Well done.

Agreed! Nice looking "stripe-delete" candidate as is. Very sharp!

Brian, on the first page of this thread you got some solid advice on making silicone molds and casting your tires in resin. If I may expand on that a little, I'd recommend Alumilite's Alumires RC-3 Black resin for your casting. It makes for a nice, realistic black finish right out of the mold. It is very opaque, so no light transfers through making your castings look "toyish." Simple 1-to-1 mixing ratio. Here's some small parts I cranked out with simple squish molds, except the Delco battery, which is a one-piece. I'll file the bottom of it flat to get rid of the excess, and the others have thin flash that an X-acto will clean right up. Most of it will actually flake right off it's so thin. My point in showing this is to show just how opaque the black resin is. You can find it here: https://store.makelure.com/store/p/1053-AlumiRes-RC-3-Black.aspx

These are serious land yachts! Typical kit for the time, it can still build up very nicely, as you've proven. Very clean build, and your color choices are superb and look like factory choices. Beautiful car, beautiful model. Well done.

Hilarious, and creative!

I truly hope it's the Cosma Ray, we don't have enough of the better-built true custom classics. Please, please, please be the Cosma Ray! And note to CanCon, Tom's name is Tim!?

Welcome to the forum, and congrats on a super clean build. Outstanding paint work. Looking forward to more.

Hard to beat a red Chevelle! Very nice model.

Beauty of a fat-fendered Ford! I've got the sister kit (woody), metalwork painted almost exactly that color. It's a great color for curves!

Man, that color looks SO good! Well done.
