Jim0205 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 As always Mr. Cruz beautiful work. I believe it was from your builds I started using embossing powder in place of flocking I like the results as well seems very convincing.

meaneyme Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 This is really looking sharp Cruz, I also think the embossing powders work better than the flocking which to me have always looked kind of out of scale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crispy Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Cruz, beautiful work so far. I absolutely love your cleanliness of the build. I really look forward to seeing this one completed. I agree with most, it is/was a beautiful design. I have the luxury of being able to look at one here every month for our Cars & Cafe. So easy to look at.

Railfreak78 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Interior looks amazing so far and the polish.... wow. I am just getting into trying Future but this looks better. I've used Turtle Wax on cars before and buffed them out by hand and NEVER had this result! This will be a car of beauty when finished and I certainly thank you for showing us along the way. I know its different scale but it will help me on mine later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meaneyme Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Now, that is one smooth paint job, can't wait to see this one completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Interior is complete, it's a slightly different color in natural light but I just want to show the basic interior build.

Jairus Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Marcos, the only critique I have on the interior is the fact that the seat belt buckles look a little thin. Not your fault but is it possible to add more material to them to make'm more hefty? Other than that... the rest of the darned thing is so perfect I had to look twice! Excellent job so far. Was sorting through my magazines trying to put a mess to order and came across a box of 1960's Road & Tracks with a cover you might find interesting. This is before the Mura was actually released and this engine debuted in 350 GTB as a longitudinal front engine/rear drive 2 place GT. If you are interested... I have a '66 Car & Driver with some nice pictures of a Mura in it. I can post them too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Jairus, I too think they are a bit thin, should have used a piece of photo-etch over the other for some thicknes at least on the buckles, too late now. Anyway, thanks for that engine shot, I can always use it for some reference help when starting on the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mredzadventure Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 The chrome trim around the gear shifter looks superb. Is that a photo-etch piece or BMF,or a very steady hand? It looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted October 3, 2010 Author Share Posted October 3, 2010 That's a metal transfer included in the kit. It has several metal transfers in it. Mark, thank you for responding to this question, here is a picture of the metal transfer decals, they really are nice and what I like about them is that they are a bit thicker than the photo-etch ones.

cotto Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I like the way the keys/keychain look inserted in the ignition, very cool touch. I also think that the combination of interior colors will look just right with the outside color you chose for the body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffs396 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Love everything about this car Marcos! Great work! My local HobbyTown USA has one on clearance...I'm waiting for it to go down another 10% before I snatch it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted October 18, 2010 Author Share Posted October 18, 2010 Okay my fellow glue sniffers!!! I have been away for a little while, life kinda gets in the way and you have to deal with it. Anyways, all I did was work with the small side scoops next to the windows and have completed the BMF work on the body. Thank God there was not much BMF... I had to remove the chrome from the scoops and paint them body color, after checking my references on the real car I never saw one with this part in chrome. I added a bit of black paint to the small vents and installed them. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki I have also completed the engine and the chassis, not much detail on the engine since it will be hard to see it once the body is married to the chassis. I also Alcladed the disk brakes but these will also be hard to see once I place the tires and rims onto them.

Peter Lombardo Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Sir, you have done a masterful job on this so far (I full expect it to continue) The interior is just a thing of beauty...so clean and precise, it makes you look twice to be sure it is a model, and the paint finish is superb....perfect. Really nice, man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
