  6. Impressive work Steve, BMF application must have been a task and a half !
  7. Cheers guys, thanks for the feedback! Funny you should say that Harry, the kit has separate chrome handles for the doors and hood, not the rear door!! So what I did rather than BMF, was carefully buff the clear red coat off exposing the silver base to outline the handle As for the hole in the firewall Danno / Joe, the instructions showed nothing about placing a filter there and no part on the tree resembles a filter ! Thanks again Ray
  8. Another old kit bought from a garage sale last year guys ! 1973 issue and built straight from the box with no aftermarket bits.... Even the old school 'glue together' tyres worked a treat and the decals were still good! Testors silver base coat with Tamiya clear red.... Certainly was a challenge to build, the door hinges and chrome parts were a 'PINTA', still not sure if I correctly put them on trying to follow the vague instructions ! Don't you just love that 4 banger engine ! Cheers Ray
  9. Hmm, good topic ! 7 X Monogram Sprintcar kits 5 X AMT 62 Impalas 5 X Revell 62 Impalas...
  10. I'm 50 this year and have been building since I was a kid like most of us A 20 year Military career got in my way, but it didn't stop me from building something! One thing I have noticed is the popularity of R/C cars, planes etc, the two LHS I visit, do big business from repairs and sales, model kits are just secondary. 'Lego' is also a big part of my life as my daughter loves the stuff! the spare room in my house is shared between us !
  11. Like everyone has said Michael, we got to start somewhere! I'm at the point where I need to have a spring clean, way too much on the bench and surrounding areas ! You will get to a point where you have a huge bench and your work is confined to about 10 inches on that desk because the rest of it is full of other projects, tools, paints etc etc ! Cheers Ray
