  1. Beautiful looking paint finish and color. The steel wheels and red line tires fit the look. Good looking interior details. The display engine should be in the body.
  2. Like the earlier build styles on these. The finishes and the engine detailing along with the trim or lack thereof are very distinct.
  3. Great looking Impala. The colors and the engine and chassis detailing are realistic looking. I had a few friends that got new '65 Impalas as they were really popular at the time.
  4. Great looking paint finish and color. Have always liked our sedan deliveries so this body style is very appealing. The additional detailing with the roof rack looks good.
  5. Like the style of your build. Amazing how tall the stock roof looks. The smoothed body and extra louvers along with the blacked out trim really change the appearance. Like the stance along with the wheels & tires.
  6. Great looking finishes and like the tan top and interior better than the white.
  7. Great looking paint finish and color. This model and the subject are a favorite. I don't remember the convertible boot, was that in the kit?

    91 Firebird

    Great looking bright yellow paint. The hood decal with the flames coming off the "screaming chicken" looks good.
  9. Beautiful paint color and finish. Like the engine detailing.
  10. Great looking paint finish and body trim details.
  11. Like the chassis modifications and the Resin body has a good-looking roof height. The gap between the rear of the hood and the body shouldn't be too hard to correct.
  12. Great looking color combination.
  13. Great idea, although they all have been done in the past and it would seem that the owners still haven't been able to make the facility a viable investment. This is a shame since there is a lot of potential and investment in the existing infrastructure.
  14. Tamiya offers several different Military type colors including some shades of blue in rattle cans. I have liked to use them in several builds in the past as the finish has a soft sheen requiring no additional clear coats and usually one light dusting seems to be fine.
  15. I would also suggest Brian Croft's suggestion. In the past I have painted the appropriate colors on the back side of the clear plastic and then applied Bare Metal Foil. As for the outside trim portion that could be done with foil or a chrome pen depending on what you are comfortable with. As Brian pointed out the chrome foil seems to reflect the light the best and gives the lenses a sense of depth.

    BMW Z8

    Thank you everyone. I looked at the colors that BMW offered on this body style and their shade of silver wasn't to my liking, so this is what I went with. The same with the interior. I recommend this kit if you're looking for something a little different and not real involved to build.

    289 Cobra

    Great looking body color and finish with the interior.
  18. Great paint finish and really a bright yellow color. Clean looking body trim and wheels and tires. Like the engine detailing.
  19. Like the stock looking body and paint treatment. Really cleanly built.
  20. 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.
  21. Great looking paint finish and body trim. Good looking color combination. The 5 spoke Americans look good on everything. Like the stance.
  22. One of the best-looking body configurations for the 911.
  23. Like the full fendered look.
  24. 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.
  25. Your second photo really captures the look of the 1:1 Chevy.
