I'm pretty new to model building so please take it easy on me!! Heres my two in the colloection. My Olds 442 Grape Pearl on Purple Mettallic and the more detailed 65 GT 350R, I did finish off the roll cage in this car and added wires. I'm working on a 65 Mustang that can be seen "on the bench", thanks for looking, any tips would be great thanks.

You didn't say how long you've been building, but these two look good. I'd say you have the basics covered pretty well.

Next step: I'd suggest foiling the chrome trim on your next model. Bare Metal Foil (BMF) is available at at just about any hobby shop and also online from a variety of sources (you may already know about it...if not, get some and start practicing).

It's amazing how much realism foiled chrome trim adds to a model.

I built a few in middle school, kinda lost base with it, then I built the 442 last year, I was 25 and I just completed the 350R now 26 so you see pretty much all my experience, I'll def. have to look into the foil, thanks.

Yu might want to look at tha aluminum foil as well Scott, it looks more like stainless steel trim than does tha chrome. 8)
