Modlbldr Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 That's looking really good Sam. My GTO is coming along. Got everything done except waiting for the clear to dry so I can apply the extensive decals. Then another couple coats of clear. I'm having a blast with this.

GeeBee Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Looking great Sam, takes me longer than 24 hours to decide what colour I'm going to paint it, my current build has been sitting in the stash for just over 6 years..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
