Nick Winter Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Built this for a Group build on my forum, YJIslander here did the Wing art, I printed them on decal Paper, I got this car from cobra98. Before: After:
Jordan White Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Decals turned out great! Suggestion would be to take your time on taking pictures. Try from different angles and distances to get a nice clear image. Remember, it's digital which means you won't run out of image space! (unless you don't delete any )
Harry P. Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 YJIslander here did the Wing art... Expect a call from the lawyers representing the Indianapolis 500... B)

Jordan White Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Almost looks like it has the military blackout lights that were on the old army trucks.
Nick Winter Posted October 21, 2010 Author Posted October 21, 2010 It even has a face2! 4 eyes! HaHa! U R getting better nick butt U can still improve youre fit N finnish. THANKS JIMMY! Jimmy your the expert what do you suggest I do to correct the problems that you see. Honestly I want to know what I should do here. Thanks Nick
Guest madazzskilzkustumz Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Thanks nick for noticing how good I build modeles like my Lumina! I am making another model 2 like some won said I should show since I know Well it is tough to critic from blury pics but hears some points 2 help U. The bmf is cracked and if it was put on more smooth or even touch’ed up it wood look better. If U fitted the front nose to the front fenders better before glueing and did a neater job of glueing it wood look a lot better. If U masked off the tail-lites before U paint’ed the red or were a better painter it wood look better.Same 4 the side marker lites. If you did not get the dirt in the piant on the rite rear back fender or if you cleaned it up it wood look better. The driver rear view mirror looks like it is scale stucko from the side of a house. If you painted it glossy white an smooth-ly it wood look cleaner. O yea, there is a bunch of dirt in the door paint 2. If U cleaned it up or did not get the dirt in it it wood look better. If U painted the hood ege all white and-or as a plus made it fit rite it wood look better. Come 2 think of it the more I look the more dirt I C every ware. Maybe white is not youre color? If you mask-ed off the door panels or could paint straiter it wood look better. Same 4 the dash it shoud B engine turn finished. Looks like a blobby thing on the top bak of the driver seat that wood look beter if it was not there. The trans am logo on the back wood look way better if it was in the center like it shoud be. Cant tell about the tire white letters but if the 1/16 scale won has the same quaility of lettering they should be neater 2 look good but the picture is to fuzzy 2 call on this. Maybe clean out the gunk in the trunk lines next time before (or after) U paint 2. That’s some I see. Thanks 4 asking 4 help it is how U can get better! Thanks Jimmy!
Guest Sickfish Posted October 21, 2010 Posted October 21, 2010 Dukefan, I think you've done a good enough job with an old kit & it's great that you've asked for constructive criticism. We all have different skill levels & with each new build we strive to do better than the last & it's great that we are all here to encourage one another Now i dont mean to be picky but if i'm going to give advice to help another modeller out I'd at least get my spelling right...so as not to confuse them madazzkilzkustumz... Here's some constructive criticism for you... Wood is from a tree, rite is a ritual, hear's is what is heard, ege is not a word, won is when you win something, mask'ed, smooth-ly, touch'ed, paint'ed are all ONE word & an apostrophe is not needed, shoud is not a word, youre is not one word but two ie: you're as in you are, bak is missing the C, lites is lights, straiter should be spelt- straighter & ware should be where- as in a place Dont be offended Madazz' it's just conservative critiquing..

Jantrix Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Man, this is what I'm all about. Taking a kit and doing something cool, new and different with it. Way to be original. Good work. If I can make a single criticism? Slow down a bit. There are a few issues where it looks like fingerprints in paint that wasn't cured yet. It's one thing to be gung-ho, another to have a 'DOH!' moment because you rushed through it.
cazxr2 Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 (edited) Nick you have improved so much since before. I love watching your builds as you can see your getting better with each one. And lol for the criticism from the spelling GOD!!!!! (madazz) mad as what lol ???I am not the best at spelling but man that made me chuckle reading it. Haha Edited October 22, 2010 by cazxr2

Scalper Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Getting better Nick. After that car is done pacing looks like it could have a 2nd life as a super cop car. I fear painting anything white.
Agent G Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 I like it, shows a fair bit of imagination. Nick ya get better and better with every build. Now, with that said, concentrate on slowing down. I look and see a build that was rushed a bit so the markings could be applied. Right? Patience grasshopper, patience. Develop the skill set and continue to improve. G
Nick Winter Posted October 22, 2010 Author Posted October 22, 2010 I for got to mention if it ooks less of quality to my other builds this is a old build that sat on my shelf for the last 5 months till I printed the decals, hence the dust/dirt in between paint and clear, thaught it was all off before I cleared it.

I knew I liked you.... Trust me Cliff, after teaching high school for eight years, I understand exactly what you're saying. One small correction to your correction: "hear's" is not a possessive. "Hears" is an active verb. 'Conservative' or 'constructive?' In my opinion- yes to both. Charlie Larkin
Guest madazzskilzkustumz Posted October 22, 2010 Posted October 22, 2010 Nice excuse 4 dirt in the paint. I thought U wanted 2 be a better builder butt al U offer R excuses.honestly you coud not sea the dirt B4 U put the clear on? Butt sadly it looks better than all of youre builds I have seen. so U R improving. keep listening 2 me and I can help U and stay tuned for my next won when I post! Looks like even the word police make mis-steaks 2! THANKS JIMMY!
Clay Posted October 23, 2010 Posted October 23, 2010 Really? Must you type like that? Please learn how to type like regular person does and it would make everyone's life a lit easier. With that being said, Nick, I agree with everyone else. Your skills have greatly improved. I too rush alot of things and must slow down before I mess it up. So take their advice and slow down and Ty to take more in focus pictures. Great job on the T/A. Keep it up.
