Great looking body color and finish with the interior.
-
Great paint finish and really a bright yellow color. Clean looking body trim and wheels and tires. Like the engine detailing.
-
Like the stock looking body and paint treatment. Really cleanly built.
-
Beautiful looking paint finish and color. Like how you smoothed up the body. The interior looks great, and the colors look good against the exterior. The color detailing of the engine blends with the exterior. Like the chassis detailing.

Great looking paint finish and body trim. Good looking color combination. The 5 spoke Americans look good on everything. Like the stance.
-
One of the best-looking body configurations for the 911.

Like the full fendered look.

Too many squirrels running around in my head.
espo replied to Terry Jessee's topic in WIP: Model Cars
A lot of great ideas. The last one of the CHP Chrysler reminds me of an expensive ticket I got years ago. The Cadillac wagon or Hearse? looks interesting. I did a '56 Chevy Sedan Delivery a few years ago and it is a favorite. The '64 Impala could be a Chech & Chong special. The '64 Galaxie could run NASCAR or the streets. The Charger is showing its attitude. -
Your second photo really captures the look of the 1:1 Chevy.

Like the license plate, sort of tells the tale of the kit.

1960 Ford F100 Service Truck
espo replied to Chuck Most's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great looking finish. The engine detailing looks like a truck in service for a long time with little or no attention to upkeep. -
Another 1953 Ford F100
espo replied to Chuck Most's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Great realistic looking rust finish. A lot of little early style treatments, the diamond plate bed floor, exhaust stacks, the rear roll pan. The right rear inner fender looks like this truck may have started life as another color. Like the engine transplant and the wheel & tire combination. -
Beautiful paint finish and deep looking color. Like the Touring build style. Great looking interior and engine detailing.
-
Great looking paint finish and colors. Clean body trim and paint lines.

Tuck and roll interiors and bucket seats

Great information. -
Looks great and much like a scene from the movie. Have you thought of maybe adding an occupied-Out House to the scene?

54 chevy pickup chopped
espo replied to damodelguy phx az's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Like the chopped top and the '54 & early model '55 grill setup. Wouldn't want any more off the top, but this is just about as low as would still be feasible as a good driver and the look goes well with the Pro Street style chassis. -
2021 Ford Bronco First Edition
espo replied to mrmike's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Beautiful looking paint color and finish. I like how you did the interior. Very clean body trim and chassis. -
Beautiful looking Grand Prix. Makes me wonder why one of the model companies haven't offered more Pontiac and Oldsmobile models other than the GTO and 442. The color looks much like what they offered at the time and the vinyl roof as well.

Recreation of 1964 Model Car Science ad for AMT Trophy series
espo replied to Alan Barton's topic in Model Cars
Congratulations on your display. I'm old enough to remember all of these and have built them also. Compliments to your wife on all that she did to help you with your display. -
Great looking build style and color. I like the flame decals, were they in the kit? There was a time when the '37 Ford was called "The Ugly Duckling". Hard to imagine why looking at your '37 Ford builds. They all have the stance and the smooth paint and engines done right.

This is the Revell curb side model of the BMW Z8. The kits body, chassis and interior all fit very close and require only a minimum of sanding on meeting edges. The body lines are all well-defined. The interior is just as well done and with a little detailing the instruments, seats, and door panels are also well done and require almost nothing in the way of sharpening the panel lines. One feature that I liked was the option of an Up-Top Convertible top that is done as one piece of clear plastic. This I painted inside and out with just the rear window masked using PS5 Black that is for Poly Carbonate bodies that I bought once by mistake. A Boot for a folded top is painted Wooden Deck Tan. For the body I used Tamiya TS-42 Lt. Gun Metal and Tamiya Clear. The interior is both TS-68 Wooden Deck Tan and TS-62 Nato Brown. I used both Bare Metal Foil and a Gundam marker for the chrome trim. There is a back wash of both Tamiya Panel Line Accent in Black and Brown. I used a dark Browm Flocking for the floor and along the edge of the consol and behind the bucket seats. The kit has decals for the taillights and the front turn signal lights as well as all of the BMW emblems and instruments and European license plates. You will want to be very patient with soaking the decals since they take an inordinately long time to release from the paper and in my case the taillights just fell apart. The taillights where redone with Bare Metal Foil and X-27 Clear Red paint. They wheels are paint Aluminum and a flat clear. The suspension is well done, and a lot of detailing can add to that along with the exhaust and the lower engine parts that you would see through the suspension.
