Lunajammer Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 I like that underside shot. Nicely painted detail.
GMCMAN52 Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 like the rest what else can I say that hasn't been said.....Oh ya I like this one a lot
wrecker388 Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Nice Vette Mark! How many awesome cars do you have in 1:1? The subtle road weathering looks perfect!
bbowser Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Well you Lucky Dog... Nice build!!!!I was thinking the same thing. Well done!
Intmd8r Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Nice workI followed the build thread and appreciate the effort and detail on this one
mikemopar70 Posted July 10, 2016 Posted July 10, 2016 All of your model builds are very clean, so is this beutiful Corvette..Very cool looking color combo.
Perspect Scale Modelworks Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Your daily drive must be a blast. Very cool.
Scale-Master Posted July 11, 2016 Author Posted July 11, 2016 Thanks guys! It is a very comfortable car with enough performance to satisfy most people, especially as a basic transportation vehicle, and it gets very decent mileage. Surprisingly they are not as expensive to own as many people are led to believe, especially if you can turn your own wrenches. Now tires are pricy compared to most other cars, part of why I keep the traction control on...
Harry P. Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 As usual, a beautiful model. And I am officially jealous. Ever since I was a kid I've wanted a Corvette. With prices now where they are, it ain't ever gonna happen.
Randy D Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Hi Mark, That is a great looking model. The panel lines are just right with the white paint.Randy
Monty Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 Nice workI followed the build thread and appreciate the effort and detail on this oneI always follow his builds because he points out any corrections he felt were necessary to make, and he usually summarizes how he went about it. He's also known for being very precise when it comes to replicating the shades and hues of everything on the car, which is very helpful if you're building, or planning to build, the same kit. When you nail all the little details like he does, the result should be something special.

With prices now where they are, it ain't ever gonna happen. Harry, you might be amazed at how affordable used Corvettes are and how well maintained many are. I'll have a hard time getting near the 10 grand mark for mine even with the history on it and the fact that everything works and it is well under a 100K mileage car. C4's in very nice shape are easy pickings at 5K all day long. I know several people who have bought sound C4's for 3 grand, and a couple for even less. 17 MPG around town, 30+ on the highway, and you don't need premium, (although I use it). Even C6's had a significant price drop in recent times. And thanks again all. Very kind comments.
