  1. Cool color choice, and I really like how you treated the interior. Well done!
  2. Gorgeous blue! I gotta get some of those Tamiya paints; I'm always impressed with their colors, and they have a nice scale metallic appearance where regular paints always look too "flaky" for accuracy. Can't wait to see more of this one.
  3. Just now saw this one! I think your deduction of red for an experimental aircraft makes sense, and it does look cool. Late war German aircraft experiments are so "out there" it makes for fun modeling for sure! I was lucky enough to score (on eBay) a 1/48 Dragon Models version of this very same aircraft, and it waits patiently in the stash... As for the missile-with-a-man-in-it-concept, this ranks right up there with the ArE381 "Julia". You did a beautiful job of whipping this little guy into shape. Well done, especially the paint finish.
  4. Looks nice from here, and I bet it looks fine on the shelf! Great color.
  5. Recent acquisitions? They appear to be in excellent shape.Always liked this body style.
  6. Beautiful build; great attention to clean detailing, and superbly presented! Very well done. ...and ain't she PRETTY?!
  7. Very nice, accurate appearance on the finishes of your model. Very well done.
  8. Very good use of color on this one. Well done!
  9. Very nice model; love the car and your treatment of it is superb! The color is eye-catching.
  10. A lot to consider, for sure. Not having a GP body in hand, I just squeezed the GTO chassis into the Monte for a quick reference. The rear overhang is indeed the first thing I noticed, but it didn't look like a difficult chop. The GP really is kinda short in the rear, it would appear. I hope you can get on this one soon, it will be an interesting project of a subject seldom seen. Excellent detail photos at classiccars.com, including chassis and engine bay. Beautiful cars!
  11. Or just airbrush some red oxide primer spots over it as a DIY fixer upper!
  12. Since the trans cross-member needs to be replaced to a BOP type anyways, you may want to consider the Revell '66 GTO as a chassis donor. It compares favorably in its floor-pan stamping detail to online reference photos, but may need the rear pan shortened a little. The engine cross member is a separate piece, which might simplify modifying the front suspension also. You would of course still need to lengthen it just a little, I'd say in the front floor/firewall area, as it looks to me that the Grand Prix has lots of legroom up front.
  13. Beautiful treatment of a classic. Well done.
  14. I really love that color, and the whole build looks very clean and well done. Nice job!
  15. Very nice, especially loving the engine bay. VERY realistic model.
  16. The quintessential muscle car perfectly rendered here. NICE!
  17. Very tastefully done. Surprising non-red hot rod that just works! Well done.
  18. Really enjoyed following along as this came together. Turned out excellent! I love how certain photos almost look like the old colorized illustrations or black and white photos from the dealer brochures. Be proud of this one!
  19. Nice! They look surprisingly good in shades of green. Well done!
  20. I'm envious of the buyer! What a nice project; lots of potential there.
  21. The good ol' days when you could get a car just as you wanted it. I bought a 66 Impala SS from a high school buddy whose dad ordered "his way' brand new: black with white interior, 283 engine with 3-on-the-tree! Console had a brushed chrome block-off plate.
