  1. It may be a basic kit but it's a great body style ! Looking forward to more .
  2. Beautiful job ! Love the pearl paint job and the rear tires are a big improvement .
  3. Beautifully done ! Love the red paint and great job on the stripes !
  4. I also build very few race cars but like all kinds especially from the 60's and the GT40 is one of the best looking of all . Yours looks excellent to me , correct colors and just the right amount of detail . Great work !
  5. Just like everything else your chassis are always very impressive , and the paint on your exhaust and mufflers may be the best I've seen ! And personally I wouldn't call it "dirty" , looks more like nicely "aged" to me .
  6. Beautiful Little T , I love it in black ! Using the original interior was the right decision even if it meant sacrificing a body , the later interior just wouldn't look right . Correct parts and polished plastic make this an excellent model , as are all of your builds in this faux series . Great work !
  7. Excellent job on your pair of Hertz Mustangs , and your display turned out great !
  8. Your choice of colors look great on this , well done ! The hood not fitting happens a lot with these kits , it's easy to overlook during the early stages . Bet you nail the next one !
  9. Very well done Mario , I like the stock look ! Great photos too !
  10. Great looking Cutlass ! This is one of those body styles that looks really good in white !
  11. Those colors look really sharp together , well done !
  12. Your work so far looks excellent ! That ABS can be a real pain to work with , well done !
  13. One of the best versions I've seen built , very well done !
  14. 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 ?
  15. 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 !
  16. 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 .
  17. 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 .
  18. 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 !
  19. 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 !
  20. Very well done and the engine detailing is awesome !
  21. Man that looks great , well done !
  22. 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 .
  23. It looks great , I love the basic gray paint job with black spokes !
  24. Thanks Mike ! You should build yours , would love to see it ! Thanks Dave ! Thanks much David !
