Looks like a 1:1 shot in the studio!

Well Steve, I can hardly find the words to express how impressed I am by that build of yours. Beautiful Pontiac Bonneville '63, and in both of those photos the model looks like the real car, which is what I am striving for all the time. I totally agree with all the comments of other members on here, you have achieved such high quality with that one build, so don't worry about how many...... this ONE is exceptional.

1 it may only be, but it is a very tidy job mate.

[Mahogany Rush]

That car is stunning. Nothing to be ashamed of here.

Stunning! Top Shelf

While it's the only one you finished, my goodness it is fabulous!  Just like you always do, Steve.  Hope you can get a few more finished in the coming year.

[RAMBENNA]

awesome, that's all I can say.

[johnwitzke]

WOW!  Exceptional build!!

[StevenGuthmiller]

I really appreciate all of the encouraging comments everyone!

It always goes a long way to help motivate me to keep building.

Thank you all!!

It's one great build Steve!  If you can only build one than this is how it should be built.  It actually looks like a real car in the pictures.

Sweet Pontiac.  Well built and finished.  Don't feel bad about your build output.  This year I finished a 1929 Ford woody wagon in August that I started in October 2016 and I am about to finish a 1965 Pontiac Grand Prix that I started in August 2017 that was supposed to be a "quick build".

Well, Steven, it's frustrating when 'life' gets in the way of your passion, but like everyone has been saying, you did a beautiful job on this Pontiac. Your black paint job is a knockout!

 

[StevenGuthmiller]

Thanks so much everyone!

The responses to this model & the fact that I should be able to get a little more bench time during the holidays will hopefully kick my current project into the next gear.

Thank you Eric!

Black is hands down my least favorite color to work with, but it does show well on nearly any car.

Here are a couple of outdoor shots that high lite the paint a little better.

Quality vs. quantity.  That is sweet!  I built the 1965 Grand Prix last century, so appreciate the chrome work.

[Codi]

Stunning model Steve.  The quality of the build is top notch.   cheers, tim

[Cpt Tuttle]

With a result like this, "Pathetic" is never the right word.

[StevenGuthmiller]

[Slotto]

There is nothing pathetic about that build!

[Modelbuilder Mark]

Looks fantastic Steve. 

[skid896]
