TooOld

Beautiful old classic , love the color choices ! Excellent job !

I just finished this one after only three weeks on my bench , it's built mostly right out of the box with just a couple changes . The first change was to cut down the front and rear springs to lower the ride height 1/8th inch all around , this is probably not the preferred way but it was the simplest and caused no problems with the rest of the build . While working on the front I also modified it to have poseable steering . Then I swapped the front tires with some from The Parts Box which have a smaller diameter , not much but enough to add more rake to the finished model . I also removed the front license plate from the headlight crossbar , to me it cluttered things and just looks better without the plate . I also opened the exhaust and printed a rear license plate . To finish it off I printed a surf board decal to match the box art . The fenders and frame were molded in a Crimson Red plastic that was polished and I printed decals for the wood grain panels then sprayed the body inside and out with Tamiya TS-13 Clear . This is probably the easiest kit I've built in a long time , it was a pleasure to build and went together exactly like it should with no issues at all . Here's a ride height "before and after" photo . Finished chassis . A couple of the finished body . More finished photo , thanks for lookin' !

Looks good to me TJ ! Don't see silver Camaro's built too often and I like wheel choice too !

Beautifully done Phil ! Love the look of those wheels and tires with the blue metallic paint !

Great detailing on all of them Bill ! I really like what you've done to the Killer bee , such an improvement over the basic kit ! Mine has been on hold while I search for better tires with not much luck . Where did you find those rear paddle tires ? They're exactly what I can't find !

I'm with you Ron . . . I know just a little about planes and that one is very cool !

That is really cool Pat ! I like that so much I may buy one myself !

Thanks much Trevor ! There's a Betty kit also . . . she's not a nice as Wilma .

Thanks Carl !

Yep . Actually I never understood the whole 88 mph thing and why the car struggled and took so long to reach it .

Another super clean nicely painted plane ! Just shows that these basic kits make some very presentable models !

Such a clean looking build with super nice paint . Well done !

Man that's a nice looking aircraft , and it's going to be a very cool display when finished ! Very well done !

Beautifully done ! Your paint work and attention to details is very impressive !

Thanks John ! Thanks much Ken !

Absolutely gorgeous Fury Steve , best one ever ! I've got your Fotki bookmarked for inspiration/reference and just checked your original photos . . . amazing the difference good photography makes . Just shows we are always improving at all aspects of the hobby .

Beautifully done ! Both Mark and Bobby made the Matador a legitimate race car when others laughed at it .

Thanks mike , so did I !

Beautiful GTX , love that color and the red accent stripes look perfect !

Well done Eric , can't go wrong with Plum Crazy !

Looks great in black with those thin white walls and caps , well done Len !

If the decals were printed on white decal paper with a background to match the color of the car those lines are the edge of the paper where it was cut . About all you can do is carefully paint the lines with a small brush .

Great paint work Jon ! One of the nicest I've seen , and a great base too !

Not familiar with the show but this is a really cool looking ship ! Lot's of fine detailing , great job !

Beautiful Malibu , great job !
