Outstanding!

 

[cook_dw]

That is one kicka$$ model..  WTG!!!

[Harry Joy]

   Thanks Harry!

I use MCW paints almost exclusively now with a smattering of Duplicolor.

This is a Model Car World Color.

I really love their paints!

Thanks! I'm going to have to try these. So many nice models here seem to have been painted in them, and the palette I get with Tamiya and Model Master cannot replicate some of the classic finishes.

That's the biggest reason I started using them.

Availability of color choices was my main reason for trying them.

Particle size of the metal flakes in the metallic colors is a huge deal also.

If you look at these photos, it's very difficult to pick out any "flakes" in the paint, yet it is a metallic color.

Just how a metallic paint job would look from this distance on the 1:1.

I won't go back to a rattle can.

At least for any metallic paint jobs!

Absolutely gorgeous Steven!

And I'm seeing the pictures as normal, 21 inch monitor here....now if I could only get ANY pictures to post on this forum I might get complaints about squashed pics too one day! 

[Ron Hamilton]

That one is beautiful!!!!!

[berr13]

Exceptional model!  The color seems to underscore the elegance of the car's lines...incredible work!!

[Dragline]

No other word suffices.

 

 

WOW

[V8 Trucker]

Very cool

[ChrisR]

Awesome!!

[landman]

What a beauty. And you seem to have a "built-in" photo platform. Is that the edge of the front porch rail?

[snacktruck67]

I really like the model.  Looks so darn realistic.  The pictures look just fine on my end, using a 27 inch monitor.  I also have bad eyes so the pic size is just perfect for me.  Keep up the great work.  I always enjoy you builds.

[disabled modeler]

Beautiful as usual Steve....its one of my very favorite Chryslers too...still hoping to find one someday I can trade for to make a replica of my dads old one from.

[Helix]

Another stunning build Steve, nice pictures too mate !

[DeeCee]

That is just gorgeous mate, love the color, and quality of the paint, along with the interior contrast, so beautifully done..  ( pics are fine this end of the world too. )

[drodg]

That is beautiful.  I have never seen a Johan Chrysler nicer.   Great job

[yura1961]

Beautiful model !

[Ulbo]

Outstanding build and that choice of color... Beautifull man!!!

[Fanof69]

Steve WOW. That is one GORGEOUS Chrysler!! Simply beautiful!! 

[Xingu]

Well executed build. Thanks for sharing.

[Xingu]

Squished photos sometimes has to do with the screen resolution you have your monitor set at. The only squished photo that I have seen on the site so far is Harry's screenshot.

[peekay]

Another beautiful model for your collection Steve. Your work never fails to put a big smile on my face!

(I really wish MCW would take foreign orders, I'd love to try them out.) 

[GTJUNIOR]

Very nice. 

[kelson]

That is beautiful!,i'm glad to see you're not afraid to build these old gems and your pics look fine on my monitor as well.

[StevenGuthmiller]

Thanks so much everyone!

Aside from the bad windshield, (which I replaced with a spare '65/'66 Plymouth one) & the broken A pillar, this one went pretty well.

I enjoyed it immensely! 

What a beauty. And you seem to have a "built-in" photo platform. Is that the edge of the front porch rail?

Thanks Pat!

That platform is the retaining wall on the East side of my house.

The only real flat surface around my house that is a good place to get outside shots.

If I wasn't so lazy, I'd pack up my builds & take them out some where to get a better back drop.

Either that or make some sort of background for taking pics.

But that really eats into my valuable build time.
