I Hate Bare Metal Foil ........

[Old Coyote]

... because I just don't have the stable hands and dexterity to install it properly

My latest creation is an AMT '64 Impala ......... box stock with the exception of the 283 small block from the Revell '57 Chevy kit

[SuperStockAndy]

Don't feel bad; that's still a LOT better than what I can do with it. The Impala looks nice.

very nice! I like to see a nice clean build. Did the kit come with the whitewalls or did you have to apply those as a decal?

[Dr. Cranky]

Don't feel bad, you did an excellent job. The best how-to description I've seen on using foil and foiling techniques is in Donn Yost's DVD: TIPS & TRICKS FOR BUILDING SHOW QUALITY MODEL CARS.

Nice looking build you have there. And looks like your work with BMF is fine, much better than mine. Color is very good too and it's clean build all over. Great to see Impala with 283 SBC too, not always 327 or 409 (even if Four-O-Nine is the coolest engine in the world).

[trogdor]

Nice clean build, nothing to be ashamed about at all.

[James2]

Purdy! You did a nice job.

[Greg Pugh]

There's a couple of things I like about this one. You almost never this color combination and I dig that you put a small block in it. They didn't all come with 409's.

The whitewalls came with the kit B)

We always perfect what we hate the most...great job !!!

[bbowser]

BMF is frustrating but it makes all the difference. Nice job, love those Impalas.

[Deathgoblin]

Looks good to me. I can't see any issues.

[ffreak]

Wow, for someone who hates the stuff, you sure did a beautiful job with it !! I really get frustrated using it and have to take regular breaks from it, but I know the end result is worth the effort for me !! Beautiful car man !!

[surfjunke]

Very nice clean build. Like the color combo. You did a great job on the BMF. It is a pain to work with, but always worth it.

[BHarrison]

I see nothing wrong with that! Nice car!

[Peter Lombardo]

Very simple looking in white and red, but man, it looks great. I remember seeing hundreds of Impala's in that color scheme back in the day....it was a very popular combo then, and it looks great today. Nice job.

Personally, I think it has a very nice clean look to it John. You don't see many of them painted white,but it surely does suit it well.The more you use BMF, the easier it gets.

[High octane]

That Impala looks good to me John and don't let a sheet of foil intimidate you! If you don't like foiling you can always build street rods or dragsters.

[The Modeling Hermit]

You did a great job with it. I hate BMF too, but the end result is worth all of the frustration.

[Chuck Most]

Working with BMF can be a lot of fun, or it can be a huge pain in the rear. Mostly depends on what the last task you accomplished was. Looks like you did a fantastic job on the foil.

[Skydime]

Ah so what, you didn't foil the lettering...worse come to worse, use a fine tip and silver with a magnifying glass. What you did foil looks good. I think you have a very nice car there. I actually prefer this simpler 64 Impala kit because it doesn't have the stooooopid looking taillights like Revell's.

Don't knock it mate! You did a lovely job on your build.

Clean and precise.

What more does it need?

[rmvw guy]

I have a love/hate relationship with b.m.f. myself. Nice execution in my opinion. Love the small block! It should have been included by the manufacture in all the Impala kits in my opinion. After all, how many 409's did anyone actually see back in the day? Good job!
