No problem Mike,.. ;)

Thanks Bart, and Danny I really appreciate it..

Brad, thanks for the pics now I can see what I'll be working with I think I'm leaning towards the black beadlocks with some bolt head details from protech, I was at the track this past weekend and there was a black car there with black beadlocks and it looked pretty good. This car wont have any decals or anything, maybe a few on the rear glass but that's about it, thanks alot guys for your feedback.

I can see nine rivets! :lol: Looks like you have one rivet missing, or then it can't be seen in thay picture... Great job with the paintjob on this one, very glassy. How you can get those roll cages fit perfectly to the body shapes, do you just mock up, bit modifications, mock up etc. Or do you have different technigue? I need to build roll cage to the Falcon, so I'm asking bit of help... Hope you understood what I'm trying to say.

Thanks NIko you're right there is a rivet missing, came off I guess when I was wiping the car off I'll fix that tonight, as far as the fit of the cage, It's just trial and error, no particular method, no jigs, or anything, just tack in place, mock up, and if it fits glue it down if not make the changes and try again...

Tyrone... Man this build is just awesome... The camaro is sweet. I always love seeing your builds come together. You do some great work on these and the detail is always there. Keep up the great work.

Saw this one in person yesterday and it looks great. Keep up the great work Tyrone and make sure you let us know how the polishing kit works out.

Posted

man that is just an awesome build! If this is going to another home, the owner is going to be getting an outstanding piece of Auto Art. The pictures do not do this car justice, but I am sure everyone knows that.

Thanks for the kind words, well fellas yesterday was my first tmie ever attending a model/show contest. I really had a great time, although I got there later than I had expected,,Wayne and Daryll are some real cool kats I enjoyed meeting and talking about models with you guys..One of the things we talked about was polishing kits, Of course I did'nt have one and they told me how much of a difference it would make,, so I picked one up, I cant believe the differecne it makes, night and day difference,, thanks Wayne and Darryl, I also got some work done on this today, I got the rear chutes done, I got the glasses detailed and installed, If you look closely at the cowl area I added lines to purge the nos......lol.. thanks for looking and comments welcome...

There you go. With your building and detailing ability, now mixed with a better approach for that glass smooth finish, you will be unstoppable. Great job!

Posted

Tyrone you now have what it takes to put together a fantastic model. Your ability to get smooth finishes will just get better and better over time. Good job buddy! And, I hope to see you at more shows in the future (get there on time...LOL) so we can talk shop more.
