I sincerely appreciate the comments guys. Nice to have positive feedback after a challenging/frustrating build. If not for this forum, it may have ended up back in the box…

Un-be-liev-a-ble !!

You have vision,  and combined it with flawless execution to create a drop dead gorgeous car that will be the envy of any show you bring it to. 

Thanks Sam! I hid all the flaws!!

Love this build and I enjoyed the WIP. Personally, I'd have liked to see brighter rims but that interior is absolutely top shelf! Well done all around and a great subject matter.

Hi Mike, thanks for following the WIP. I knew the wheel colour wouldn’t be a hit with everyone, but they came out as I wanted. Thanks for the honest reply. The interior is one of my better efforts, thanks to all the inspiration from the talented builders on this forum.

Show winning material, I'd say! Great WIP and the result... awesome. Love the color choice you made, the wheels, and that engine... Well done!

Matthijs, thanks for the kind words, and thanks for your input on the WIP.

Cheers, Steve

Francis!! Thanks for having a look. To have someone of your talent compliment my work is very rewarding. You are an inspiration to all of us this forum, your incredible work is quite simply spectacular. This one wasn’t quite as “precise”, or “enjoyable” as I would have liked, but it does look good on the shelf. Having said that, I really do enjoy this wonderful hobby, as Claude says, “hours of fun with styrene”. Take care my friend, and keep up the amazing work on the Dodge!!

Thanks so much Josh, I’m very happy with how the colour combo looks. Not everyone’s taste I know, but I like it.

Came out really good! Love everything about it! Really nice detailing! 

[Plowboy]

That is one wicked looking wagon Steve! The color, stance, wheels and tires really make it! You outdid yourself on the interior. Especially with the woodgrain decals. Nice work!

Hi Joe, thank you for the enthusiastic response! The WIP didn’t cover all the issues I had with this beast, but it fought me most of the way. I was glad to park it in the display case. In the end, I achieved the look I wanted, but the paint issue that followed was extremely frustrating. Thanks for checking in sir and stay tuned, next WIP will start soon!

Cheers, Steve

Man I hate it when that happens. Looking forward to the next project Steve.
