    71 GTX

    That's a really sharp looking color !
  4. Your paint looks great , looking forward to seeing some more progress !
  5. Thanks much Dave ! The Charger parts turned out to be a much easier upgrade than I thought , working on the underbody now and should have some pics soon . As for color I almost went with a blue/white like yours but settled on Y8 Gold Leaf Poly . It's not your usual Roadrunner color and is a bit classier looking , should have the paint tomorrow !
  6. Thanks David ! Thanks Roger !
  7. Excellent body work Roger ! I think the Red Brown paint will look sharp when your finished !
  8. Thanks !
  9. After going through all of the Boss photos I'm looking forward to seeing more of your build !
  10. Looks even better with the decals , beautifully done ! Just shows you don't need to spend $$$ on aftermarket parts to have a super model , great job !
  11. That's a real beauty ! Your mods really make a difference , great work !
  12. Glad to see you finally built a Miss Deal , great job ! Not sure why your paint didn't turn out like it should have , looks more like oil drops instead of swirled paint , still it is pretty cool looking !
  13. The A/C vents were pretty shallow and were easily filled with acrylic paint , no sanding needed .
  14. Thanks ! The dash and console are actually decals , the gauge cluster and steering wheel are painted .
  15. I spent some time this week on the interior , the MPC interior lacks any molded in detail so I just did some quick painting . The dash and steering wheel are from the Charger kit .
  16. One of the most impressive builds I've seen in a long time ! Simply beautiful !
  17. Man that's Green! Beautifully detailed and a really great looking Cutlass !
  18. Here's a better pic after some more wash and without the reflection .
  19. Looks like you've overcome some issues and it's looking really great ! Good job fitting the front bumper !

    AMT 69 Cougar

    Very well done Randy , beautiful Cougar !
  21. UPDATE 11-9-20 I purchased the Roadrunner Grille Insert from Greg Wann , they are really nice and Greg is a great guy to deal with ! The inserts are designed to fit the Monogram 1/24 scale grilles so I had intended to modify one of those to fit the 1/25 body , but then realized to was much easier to fit the insert to the MPC grille . The plan is to file a recess in the MPC grille . The insert was carefully located then some CA glue was used to attach it permanently . A little trimming and it's done . I painted the grille Dark Argent with a black wash and Light Argent was used to accent the headlight openings . The Roadrunner was a real pain and took two tries to get it decent . Next I mixed a dab of white with some clear and painted the molded headlight lenses . And here's the finished grille ! The overhead light is reflecting off the paint , it's actually much darker than in the photo .
  22. Man that looks really nice !! Lighting is probably the hardest part when taking photos of models , I think what you have there looks great !
  23. Those look really nice ad the best thing is they don't need a lot of space to display !
