  1. Very well done Mario , I like the stock look ! Great photos too !
  2. Great looking Cutlass ! This is one of those body styles that looks really good in white !
  3. Those colors look really sharp together , well done !
  4. Your work so far looks excellent ! That ABS can be a real pain to work with , well done !
  5. One of the best versions I've seen built , very well done !
  6. I like your way better too , well done ! I bought a roll of Oramask a while back and have cut a few things by hand just to experiment and it works really good , it may be time to buy a cutting machine , what kind do you use ? And will it cut true circles ?
  7. I guess I missed what color you're painting the body , that's gonna look sharp ! The chassis detail looks great so far and the exhaust looks factory !
  8. Too bad about those spots . I had something similar happen when somebody sprayed air freshener in through a doorway , never saw it until I started painting .
  9. Shouldn't be an issue , Everything has been pre-drilled pre-fit and pre-assembled , it's basically finished . Plus once my bodies are painted I always wear gloves and I don't plan on handling the windshield frame .
  10. It's been a month since I've worked on this mainly because I was hesitant about foiling the body . Not because I don't like to do it , I don't mind at all and I've gotten really good at it ! I've been putting it off because I have very little of the "New Improved" stuff left , I used the smaller pieces on the interior and might have just enough left for the body . I do have a sheet of what BMF is selling now but after experimenting with it I'm not looking forward to using it . I decided to compromise and paint the windshield frame and the top/boot trim piece , this will give me enough foil for the rest of the body . After some careful masking I sprayed it with some Rust-Oleum Bright Coat Chrome , not the best but my compressor is down so I couldn't spray it with Molotow . Another compromise but it's done now and I can move on . Once it dries for a few days the foiling can begin !
  11. Beautiful work and a very beautiful build ! I like the little extras you've added like the mounting rod for the mirror and the Lucas switches !
  12. Very well done and the engine detailing is awesome !
  13. Man that looks great , well done !
  14. Opening those holes in the frame and the smaller torsion bars really do add to the realism of the frame , something else to add to the list ! Problem is I never remember to do everything on my list . Like flat spotting the tires , I did it once and really liked the look but keep forgetting on recent builds .
  15. It looks great , I love the basic gray paint job with black spokes !
  16. Thanks Mike ! You should build yours , would love to see it ! Thanks Dave ! Thanks much David !
  17. Thank you Carl !
  18. Harry's Bentley - WIP Finished
  19. Really nice job rerouting the exhaust around the torsion bars , when working on my '71 Roadrunner that gave me fits ! I spent more time on that than any other part of the build , redid them several times , and still wasn't happy . Next time it will be done first instead of last !
  20. Looks really nice to me Bob ! But that's looking at photos , you had some issues so you're probably soured on the whole thing . Just think of it as a learning experience , we've all been there .
  21. For being so small it looks really good along side my 1/25th builds . Thanks ! Probably not the Aurora or Lindberg ones but the Monogram 1/32nd kits are a possibility .
  22. Not sure I'd call it goofy , it took some imagination and it turned out really cool ! It sure isn't any kind of Toon model .
  23. Thanks Jim ! Not a coincidence , lots of collectors refer to this kit as the Ram Rod/Silver Sapphire kit . Thanks Ray ! Thanks much !
  24. Thanks Bob ! Thanks ! Thanks Greg ! Other than being yellowed they worked great .
