cobraman

Found a new place to get a good breakfast. Leaving with wife soon to go see Dunkirk.

Very nice Bill.

Nice start !

Ya got that right !

They ran a bunch back to back so I saw that and have them all recorded. : )

I don't really care for Cobra's : ) But yours is very sharp ! Good job !

Probably a surprise but mine would be a Cobra kit. Any Cobra kit. : )

Looks great, nice work !

Monsoon season here and it's raining like crazy ! I love it !

Love em'

Very cute little car and you did a great job on it !

Boy, you don't miss a detail ! Very impressive.

Long and low. JF has some cool stuff.

Nice work. I built one too but yours looks better.

Thanks ! I may just have to have the Caddy, not sure,

Thanks. I guess after building for over 50 years it is hard to quit cold turkey but I plan to just do a Cobra once in awhile. I must admit that the new custom Cadillac kit is calling to me. Must resist ! : )

Those are mind boggling. They made me feel drunk and I don't drink !

Looks good to me !

Thank guys. I hope to just build a Cobra every couple of months but keep up with my collection. Probably some out there with more than me but have not found them yet. As far as the ride height goes , it looks pretty good to me when just built stock. The kit is pretty nice but to be honest the weak spot is the engine. It is really not too good.

That's a wild crazy paint job ! I like it !

Thank you much fellows. To answer the questions. Paint started as a bright white followed up with a clear that really made a mess. Then I misted on from a distance some spray fabric tan to give it some texture. I followed that with some spray flat O.D. also from a distance. Next I dry brushed some Tamiya Dark Yellow. The cover was made from a piece of paper towel with some diluted white glue brushed over it. When hard I brushed it with the Dark Yellow and followed with dry brushing on some black Detailer. Stains are AK winter grime. And that my friends is how you screw up a model. : )

Thanks Carl. I really did mess up the white paint job I was going for . The clear did some funny things and I am not sure why as it was the same brand/type paint.

Although I pretty much stopped building models a couple months ago I still want to throw a Cobra together once in awhile. This was built stock right out of the box. I wanted something different to add to the collection so I decided to try and build a barn find Cobra that was rode hard and put away wet several years ago. The fact that I screwed up the paint job I was going for had nothing to do with my idea to try and build a barn find. : ) Not to good really but it does stand out in the cabinet if even for the wrong reasons.

Looking sharp'

Please build that bike ! It is beyond cool. The Bronco is too !
