This an absolute masterpiece!! The details just keep jumping out at me the more I look at it! I can’t wait to see what you build next!!

Really enjoyed following your excellent WIP on this build Steve, a real master-class in the fine scale model building. Thank you for all the efforts you put into and details you shared in your WIP postings.

My favorite parts of this beautiful Pontiac are the incredibly realistic engine bay and the weathered undercarriage. I’d love to see what you could do building a weathered WWII warbird, AFV or ship model kit, I’m sure you’d win awards in whatever genres you were to build. Bravo!

Oh man! Wow! It is perfect detailed build with great paintjob, engine bay and dashboard details and the stance is very realistic. Stunning Job?

Awesome!

It is hard to tell whether it's a model, or you invented a stuff that makes cars shrink.

Awesome!

Just as I remember when the new 64 Pontiac's came out in the fall of 63. We had a new 64. Perfect model car!

When I first looked at this model I thought it was a 1:1. I've seen other highly detailed models that look real but still looked like a scale model. I couldn't put my finger on it until I saw the undercarriage photo. By levelling the bottom part of the tyres you have created the illusion of weight. Well done Steve and thanks for sharing. 

Cheers, 

David. ??
