OOoo, I like that satin black on the Merc. The engines look excellent. Great going, now keep 'em going. The eye candy quotient is very high!!!

those are looking good!

a small tip for the airbrush painting, when starting to paint the body always start your flow away from the car, then move towards either end of the body, like side to side motion, always put paint the length of the body, never stop in middle of the body or youll get teh globs of paint that you got, you should be albe to sand that down then repaint it.

Also when painting with an airbrush always do light coats, the first coat doesnt even have to cover every part of the body. use paint as if it were gold! very sparingly!

Just trying to help out friend :)

Thank you Jeff! That is how i paint, but something went wrong with that Chrysler. I think i used thinner too much and paint was too thin when i tryed to brush it in the body. I dont never start or stop on the body as you said ;)

BTW nice truck in your avatar :rolleyes:

good, just trying to help my friend ;)

maybe to much thinner is the problem, i hope you can save it, its a nice model when finished.

Ah the truck, i wish someday to be mine :D:lol::D

A very nice clean build so far I disagree though with adding the scallops and the pinstripng for it will disrupt the beautifull lines of the body clean and simple looks the best ! ;) Keep up the great work!
