Timonator Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I have finally finished this one. While it may not be as perfect as I would like it, it certainly has tested my patience and my skills. Well, here are some pics : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmb0319 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Tim, I've been looking at this kit for a year, and I WANT one, but I'm too afraid to bite the bullet.. don't want to end up overwhelmed. You not only tackled this thing, you even had the guts to go with a black finish!! I don't how much better that could have come out, but it gets a standing ovation from me.

Helix Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Tim, this is very impressive mate, what would make it look even better if you took the pics on a plain white background rather than your bench top clutter, other than that, well done mate !

mrm Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Great build. Love all the metal grommets on the seats. If you don't mind me asking, what gold did you use on the wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timonator Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 I didn't use any grommets on the seats. I drilled out the existing ones and painted them with testors chrome silver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 This looks really good! You have some great metal finishes and all the small silver touches on the black really set it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobraman Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Well done ! You did a great job on what I heard is a tough kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTJUNIOR Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Superb building skills. That is what most of us aspire to with our own builds. Everywhere you look, you see another detail that you missed previously. Thank you for sharing your build with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrObsessive Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Very beautifully done!! That black finish looks absolutely flawless! I once had this kit and regretted letting it go! Very recently I bought another one, and spent some more bucks and bought the superdetail kit that goes with it. When I'll get around to building it heaven knows, but this is one of my favorite '60's racers and you've certainly done it justice! I have to admit though like Ray mentioned--------shooting the car alone without the busy background will really let this one stand out. Once again, I love it!!

Harry P. Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Tim... super nice job. I can imagine the time and effort you put into drilling out every one of those seat grommets. Very impressive in every way. But like others have said, your photos don't do the model justice. You need to shoot that baby on a clean, white background and let the model stand out, not the stuff on your workbench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
