Beautiful. Who would have ever thought a diecast model would be so useful to a plastic builder :shock: :wink:

sweet. wut paint did u use? did u use kit decals?arent this car suposed to be black w,gold strips?looks nice tho i think it shuld be lowred and tha weelz r two small :shock: Sorry, I was at the three pictures only or you will die forum and got a bit punchy from reading comments by the clueless :wink: Beautiful model. I'll try to behave now :twisted:

Back when this was news Wrecked Exotics had an entire page dedicated to this crash which triggered the term "Enzogate". Google that term to find more on what happened. The page is gone from Wrecked Exotics, probably due to legal issues. The guy who wrecked the Enzo is a piece of work. Speaking of pieces of work, this really takes the cake!

If anyone wants to know what really happened to the Enzo just google "Stefan Eriksson Enzo" to get the real story. Whatever Zeb posted is pure, unadulterated fiction w/a capital "B". :twisted:

Looks great 8) Especially the stance :wink: Too bad Ferrari doesn't realize that :roll:

Tor Red was also an '06 color for the Daytona, I think it came last (I was scouring Ebay for Daytona pics when I was building mine). I haven't seen any '07's Daytonas yet, I did see a Superbee and it was a different yellow than the Daytona. It was eye-searing to say the least

Or "shower" I've actually ridden in one of their cars, but it was a Montcalm. I don't know what made me think of the name, other than the logo looked like what I thought it was, it wasn't, then I thought "oh, perhaps it's the one for that other market...". Once I got that right, the only model name other than "Montcalm" happened to be the right one. Whew.

24 is a doorhandle from an iconic roadster. 9 is tricky. Think "Acadian" and that might help solve your dilemma. I had a hard time calling a Nash an AMC but I figured it out... I got 100/100. Do I get a prize?

I like the front half, but not the back. Oh well :wink:

Yes, and it was a 6-cylinder 300 front end. Different headlights than the V8 version :roll:

Hey Dave, that 300C Touring is great, they also have it in SRT-8 trim, and I intend to build one when Revell's SRT-8 300C (Uptown kit) hits the shelves. We don't get that wagon here because they think Americans only want trucks :roll: And that may be true :roll: :x

Generally speaking you should always clearcoat metallics and pearls because polishing removes the outer layer of paint exposing the metallic/pearl pigments. Some will argue that older metallics weren't clearcoated from the factory, but I will argue that they never were buffed out the way we buff out model paint. You need to be buffing the clearcoat.

Neat model! Inspires me to build mine; I drove a Fiero back when they were new and really liked it. Nice detail work 8)

Sweet. Perfect color, perfect level of detail, perfect stance-you nailed it 8)

Tamiya clear. And I never have any problem shooting a light coat of their clear right after color coats to prevent any potential problems, and I never, ever wait a month to let it dry. Some people make it out to be this huge problem, I don't see much problem or bother getting some clear right over the color, I've been doing that w/lacquers and enamels ever since I started painting

How true. We all learn at some point that paint will not cover mistakes or unfinished bodywork/sanding. Nice work on the 996!

Those look good, also if you ever find a Maisto Mercedes Benz SLK in 1/24, the later version has 5 spoke wheels that are nearly a perfect match for the 18" versions of the '06/'07 TT style rims. I've got a pic somewhere but can't locate it...

I built one of these when they were new; it's a very nice model.

As for the Challenger and Foose kits, Revell would be a far more suitable manufacturer for them anyway. I just hope they think so too, or more importantly, Wal Mart wants 'em :roll: :wink:

Very nice 8)

Thanks, the Futura was built by ACME member Ken Mosezar.

We had a great meeting yesterday. ACME has a very diverse range of model car fanatics, so we get quite a variety of subjects on the table. Hope you enjoy them! http://public.fotki.com/ACME-IPMS/meeting_...os/february-07/

Thanks! Yes, it's a black line drawing done in a drawing program w/a .005" line width. You can see the baggie w/the decals in it below the Charger in this picture: I'm going to print up four more sets of door handles, two of which are spoken for (Khart and Bluebaja). If anyone else wants 'em PM me w/your address.

I hear you! I sure hope they have some great modern gear. That Impala is kind of disappointing, partly because of the generic gear, and partly because it was of a car that had a complete restyling by the time the kit hit the shelves. Lindberg pulled the same trick w/their '97 Crown Vic, a kit that hit the shelves right about the time Ford updated the car for '98 with the Grand Marquis square roof and restyled front end. Sheesh, the timing of models getting on the market is such you'd think someone would plan ahead... :roll:

You have to have a mild compound suitable for model paint, you have to have a very soft cloth, and be careful going over decals. It's better to buff before putting on decals. I suggest reading up on techniques at Scale Wiki, which can answer many of your basic questions. There are FAQ's, tutorials, and other things covered there that are of great help. http://www.scalewiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
