  1. Put it in a Hot Wheels package and you could sell a ton of them at Walmart . You did some really nice work here sectioning the body and adding the different parts to it . . . and of course the paint is beautiful !
  2. Agreed , and the color is perfect for it . Very nicely done ! Only thing I'd suggest is to lighten up on the panel lines , with that color they don't need to be that dark .
  3. Yeah , leave the door handles alone . No sense taking a chance on messing something up ! I think it looks great overall and the MIG washes are very subtle like they should be , too many go overboard with their wash and it doesn't look realistic . Congrats on a very nice job !
  4. After reading Adam's review and studying his great photos (they do enlarge when clicked !) I stopped snickering and decided this kit has some possibilities and it's now on my shopping list . I wish it was molded in white but I can live with the silver plastic and those beautiful tires almost justify buying the kit only for them . . . Thumbs up to Round2 for a nice job on them !

    '71 GTX

    Nice work ! The emblems look right to me .
  6. Great looking '59 ! I love the 2-tone blue you picked and the wheel/tire combination looks great too !
  7. Very nice Mike , the paint and the wood look great ! (Nice license plate too !)
  8. Nice one Jim ! I really like that interior , a little more subdued than usual !
  9. I had the opportunity to meet and talk to Marty Robbins at Daytona back in the early 70's and he was a genuinely nice guy . He was accepted by the other drivers and crews and really was one of the good ol' boys . He also had pretty decent equipment . . . his cars were built by Petty Enterprises . Anybody remember this ?

    '57 Belair

    Cool looking graphics for Memorial day ! The one thing that stands out to me are the mold lines on the bumpers , when you have those they should be sanded down smooth . Of course that means redoing the chrome somehow , but since you have an airbrush you could try some Alcad II Chrome . Since this is an old build maybe you already have .
  11. Great work and congrats on the trophy ! I actually had an antenna like that once !
  12. Now that's a sharp looking Vette , great job !
  13. Very cool little roadster !

    eldorado.

    Oooooooooo ! A real black beauty !
  16. I've ordered kits from HobbyLinc in Atlanta several times and yes they do usually have a delay of 2-4 days before shipping , even for in stock items . I'm not complaining because they also have the best prices !
  17. I like that one Ray , would love to take a peak inside the box !
  18. Also not a fan of that style of wheel but the rest of your build is gorgeous ! 1965 was definitely a good year !
  19. Now that turned out really nice ! Not such great kits by todays standards but the bodies always looked right . Congrats on a great job !
  20. Agreed , nice work !
  21. A horrible kit that you've turned into a gem , t he extra effort with the paint sure paid off !
  22. That's pretty sharp ! Great use of parts and really cool with the riveted panels and checkered paint . I don't know much about these types of race cars and wouldn't have known it was a fantasy build if you hadn't said so , great work !
  23. Wow that's a lot of work done and I bet a lot of time as well , great build ! And I love those old Monogram slicks !
  24. Great looking Nova ! I like that color of red , it's a bit darker than most .
  25. Very nice , it looks good in black and white !
