  1. I like your Nova, and the color really pops.
  2. And the stuff they make really is high quality. My experiences with their products has always been good.
  3. That paint looks really nice!
  4. That Maverick looks real nice. Having bought the '69 Olds 442 convertible from Missing Link, I can vouch for the quality of their work.
  5. I have had the same problem with yellowing clear coat, and won't use it anymore on white. I now airbrush a coat of Future over white, and it has worked phenomenally. Best of all, Future is cheap. Who doesn't like cheap?
  6. Given the popularity of American full-size trucks, whatever the make, I'm rather surprised that there are not more offerings. Would I buy them? Maybe, but then I'm not really as interested in scale trucks as some of the Forum members are. Odd, considering that my 1:1 ride is a pick-em-up.
  7. I like your collection of four-doors!
  8. I'll go along with that. I would hate to see the "Forum" go away based on the conduct of a tiny minority.
  9. OK, you've got my attention. I keep hoping to stumble across one of those Toronado kits at a reasonable price.
  10. Just from my own experience. #1: Alclad is as tough, if not tougher, than kit chrome. Follow their instructions to the letter, and the results speak for themselves. #2: I rarely bother to open panels. But I used the sharp side of a new blade when I have. It worked for me. Sorry I can't help you more here. #3: I use BMF as a masking agent when I need a sharp line. Or a fine, narrow line. I use a straight edge to get the width I need. I am no prize-winning modeler, so caveat emptor if advice comes from me.
  11. I most certainly agree, Al. That color really works on that car. I like it.
  12. Nice to see a four-door. That body polished up real nice.
  13. Missing Link's products are, based on what I've seen and purchased, very well done. I would have bought their '72 Cutlass Supreme bodyshell (I saw it at NNL East, and it was spot-on) also, had I not already converted a Revell Hurst/Olds using a '70 Monte Carlo roof.
  14. You really got this right! I'm wondering if you do your research largely online, since the builds that you post pictures of are generally of subjects that I'm sure are hard to see in person in Poland.
  15. I just watched "Duel" for the first time a few weeks ago, and you really nailed Dennis Weaver's ride!
  16. A very classy and understated color choice. I like it, Al.
  17. The decals silvered a little bit anyway. I've never had that happen before, so I'm still a little bit mystified. Otherwise, I'm satisfied with the finished product, and grateful to my colleagues for giving it some eyeball time and commenting.
  18. Fantastic detail. This really looks great.
  19. Killer! I love dog dish hubcaps on muscle cars. The red really pops, too.
  20. Sadly, "Miss Hurst Golden Shifter" Linda Vaughn declined my invitation to the photo shoot, citing scheduling difficulties. Or that she thought I was stalking her. Something like that.
  21. Since co-workers have regularly seen me working on a project during lunch, the question has come up. I politely refuse, and that has worked. One lady I worked with actually bought a diecast like her husbands car, and she even painted it the same color, so I did make license plates and other stuff for her "build". Hey, she at least put an effort in, and found the end result rewarding. Her husband was thrilled to have a model of his car.
  22. Just replaced the photos that were here previously. Thanks for looking!
  23. Maybe the Batmobile is in the shop, and the Lambo is a loaner. Visiting kids in the hospital is a good deed, though.
  24. I'm astonished. A Ferrari that ugly was actually kitted TWICE? I think I just threw up a little in my mouth. The photo with the woman in the faux racing outfit wearing those weirdo silver space boots is NOT helping.
  25. Wilkommen, Jürgen! Your English is certainly much better than my German, and like my esteemed colleagues, I also look forward to seeing photographs of your work.
