My Only One for 2022

[StevenGuthmiller]

When you only spend a couple of hours here and there, I guess it makes sense that it could take almost a year and a half to finish one project.

Not the way that I prefer it, but it is what it is.

man, every time i see this car on one of the platforms i have to stop and look at the pictures again.  it's such a gem.  your WIPs have been such a massive help for me as i learn the hobby - thanks a bunch for your willingness to explain your process!  can't wait to see the finished bonneville!

I agree with radiohd10, about the level of detail on your builds and this one is no exception. 

[tim boyd]

Pardon me for being outspoken here, but this outstanding effort by Steven fully deserves a magazine feature.  There is much to be learned here by the broader miniature automotive building community out there....TIM

This is one of the nicest model car builds that has been shared with us. Absolutely beautiful detail work and paint application. You have earned the right to be very proud of your craftsmanship as the representation of your model to the 1:1 automobile is stunning.  Well done!  ?

When they are at this level, one is enough.  Outstanding replica, museum quality.

[StevenGuthmiller]

You gotta lot of stuff under that hood. Well done Steve.

Quality always outweighs quantity, and that certainly is top quality.

But a nice ONE

[Dragonhawk1066]

But it's an absolutely phenomenal build! 

[TransAmMike]

I certainly thought you built more than 1 model this past year. I remember seeing the RT when you finished it and looking at it again it still amazes me.  Impeccable build of a great looking car and wow, I love that engine!!??   Model on Steve!!

[89AKurt]

Steve raises the bar, if you're only going to finish one, it better be killer!

[Bills72sj]

Hey, if you're only going to do one they don't get much sharper than that - nice work!

[beeRS]

Wow!  This is exceptional. I love the detail. I see you sanded ‘flats’ on the bottom of the tyres - great idea, to make it look more realistic.

One question - did you photograph with the hood shut, then glue the hinges on afterwards to photograph with the hood open?

No.

The hood hinges are separate pieces that are held in place with magnets so that the model has the option of being displayed with the hood in the open or closed position, as well as removing it completely.
