Looking good.

That is very well done. There are a few similar acts, and quite often they music is very enjoyable.

Indeed there was

nice looking year

excellent work

cool variety

I bought several colors of these at a show recently, specifically to use as barriers, but have yet to tryt hem. What are you guys using the clean the brush when done?

Looking good, nice way to end the year.

Nice, When I moved into the new house and set up the model room, I got a new chair as well, but wish I had done a better version like this.

I would only advise keeping it as iot if it were build by someone you know/cared for like father, brother etc, OR, if it were particularly well done, which neither seems to be the case. while people can, and do, profit from the "value" of old kits, I firmly believe that models were made to be built, so take what you have, and build sir.

Thanks everyone, I forgot to come back and post that I did end up needing some white from Jameston, and did ask him about the coke red. He did have some already, so it worked out perfect. Thanks to all.

Nope, I looked all over and that one little warning is all I saw. I never cease to be amazed by weird rules. Right!? Some recipients MAY have packing nut allergies!

Odd curiosity.. One of my suppliers I work with sent me a calendar in the mail in a clear plastic sleeve, with one little packing peanut. At first I thought it was static that pulled it into pack, until I flipped it over.. and noticed this odd note,, Anyone ever heard of this odd regulation?

really nice!

I have owned many after market automotive paints, and currently have Cobra Colors, MCW, and others, including some 1:1 automotive quart leftovers I have picked up over the years, and will say that there is just so much to be said for using quality automotive paints. As for quantities, Scalefinishes is not buying pre-made gallons, then diluting them. As of 2014, he bought his own Dupont mixing machine. How little his batches are, I do not know, but I would likely venture he is not knocking out full gallons, and the above profit margins are not taking into consideration the cost of the machine, his time (certainly worth something), unsold inventory/stock, etc. I personally do not want to pay $9 per bottle either, but if you look for sales and deals, you will not always need to. I just got the Dec newsletter today, and it was giving 30% off entire order, including sale items, which sometimes are as little as $2 a bottle. I will often buy a bunch of colors up from the sale section, just to have in stock.I have 5 items in my cart right now, and WITH shipping, the total is $12.99, so I am still looking around to get the order to $20.

For me, it is also misplaced seems, which is also my least favorite aspect of the hobby. Now, I'm not just talking about the seems on other folks finished projects, nope, I'm talking about the fact that there are SOOO many kits over the years, that seem have have had little to no thought as to where the seems would end up, and at times, I think they TRIED to put them in a bad place for chrome. I end up spending a very large portion of my build time, simply cleaning up those ill placed lines, stripping chrome from countless bumpers etc. Like engine block halves with the molded oil pan, C'mon! Many of the more modern kits seem to be getting better about placements.

Very nice rendition of this classic.

Good looking model!

Off to a great start, nice selection and use of aftermarket bits.

Great looking Nova.

Really sharp. Nice paint work, on a good looking build!

Would decals not be enough to correct it?

REALLY like the seat upgrades, so much more "realistic" and drive-able.

Glad to see this one coming out. I have said it many times, that they hobby may have missed a lot of opportunities to tie in car culture with pop culture, especially TV and movies. this is a very entertaining show, just odd that this kit comes out as the long running show ends. As others have said, this one will likely be cop car, fire, etc etc. Nice to see it actually coming to fruition.

Nice start. This kit gets a bad rap, and there are elements that deserve it, but it can indeed be done up really nice, and I like the body proportions.
