I have been away for the last 2  1/2 months undergoing knee surgery and suffering some type of modelers burnout.  I have been building constantly since I retired some 6 1/2 years ago and I got up to 5 projects on the bench at one time.  Enough is enough!  I've got to relieve some of this pressure off of myself.  Yesterday afternoon, I ordered a Revell Porsche 911 Targa to build the car from TV's Will Trent.  That seems to have restarted my resurgence into the modeling world and I decided to clearcoat my '66 GTO that has been sitting in the paintbooth since the end of June.  I'll let this set for a couple of days to dry and harden.  Have a look!

Welcome back. Burnout is real. That said, I love this goat build! I,ve never had a GTO but I've had both a 66 Lemans and a 67 Lemans. The 67 was a similar color to this when I got it.

Nice looking LeMans, Gary!  Thanks!  My burnout is very real and I am trying to get over it.  I have read other attempts to get over a burnout and have taken some of them to heart.  All I can say is that I am working on it!

Good to see you back, Mike.  I hope your knee is doing well!

Nice color choice.

After  a month and a half, I decided to add another coat of clear to the '66 GTO.  Looks really good!

[slusher]

Very nice paint!

[KWT]
