  1. Very nice work, and great looking in that color scheme! Near and dear to me, as I recently purchased a fixer-upper (real car), and have been eyeballing a resin kit. I never knew the origins of the kit, but I see now it must be JoHan.
  2. I'd bet the person you got it from mistakenly mis-identified it as from a '59 Impala, when in fact it was from the '59 Cadillac convertible. Both were newer tooled 1/25 kits, both Monogram, but a Caddy roof is bigger in all dimensions than an Impala, and that would explain the discrepancy.
  3. Nice looking build. This is one of my favorite auto roof-lines, just too cool. (My dad had a '60 Impala 4-door hardtop.) Well done Buick.
  4. That works really well, and is a tough looking off-roader!
  5. THAT is looking good. Will these be available for purchase?
  6. It's acrylic craft paint, good quality stuff, but would need to be airbrushed on something large as a car body. It is brushable for smaller parts, and covers pretty good for such a pearly color.
  7. Another great score! Lots to absorb there. That 109 box always cracked me up; just look at the silly smirk on the face of the guy in the back seat, as he's looking right at you! The Hasegawa box has to be one of their most colorful ever, and what a great looking Jug that is. You lucky dog.
  8. Lookin' good. That interior just speaks to me; it's gorgeous! I was liking the color early on, but seeing it all together so clean, it's a shame this ain't a convertible!
  9. The more finishing you do to this body, the more I'm loving that color.
  10. Body is looking very nice!
  11. Looks pretty ambitious! Nice work so far.
  12. Will be interesting to watch this one develop.
  13. Nicely done. I always thought Roth claimed too much credit for the look of this rod, sort of like Barris and the Batmobile: paint the Futura black, add some red pinstripes, and your 95% there already. Promoters extraordinaire. I much prefer the Tweedy Pie as you've built it; a real hot rod.
  14. Very cool. "Old car" indeed!
  15. Looks ready to sell! Great color for that body, and another really nice stock build for your ever-growing collection!
  16. Both cool projects, will be following along. I really like those Impalas. Once owned a '66 SS with a 283!
  17. Looks nice! What a great color for that 'vette body; it really accentuates all the body sculpting. Not over the top at all. Well done.
  18. Curious about the paint as well. Nice job on a classic kit. Love the red with white interior. Very clean build, and has a real muscle car stance.
  19. Neat. Dang, that's some really decent detail work , especially considering you're down in "military" scale! Nice job.

    '66 Impala SS

    +1 to all that has been said about a clean, realistic build in a fantastic cool color!
  21. Outstanding thread; the reason I come here! Much to learn from this one. Beautiful work.
  22. I spy a couple of nicks in the primer or filler on the scoop... Don't you love close-up photography?!?
  23. The blown 409 option in the AMT 57 has a nice appearance,with a full chromed belt cover, or that unusual induction system from some versions of the Monogram '56 Chevy has eye appeal!
  24. Not sure why Createx calls the one paint Pearl Copper, it's really a very nice pale gold, heavy with fine pearl.
  25. Here's a couple of water-based solutions, both look more intense in color in the pic than they do in person, but both could be tamed to your liking with a little white:
