aksarben Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I love it! The blacked out features are cool, that air cleaner rocks and those wheels are I think a perfect match. A little different from the factory stock Judges seen. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Lordy, that's a nice clean model. I've always like this one. Great details on that engine. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdmfan Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) I think it looks good and who cares if it isn't carousel red or whatever color its supposed to be. it looks good and thats all that matters. i hate people that criticize thanks for the good comments guys. i dont mind criticism . But to say its all wrong wrong wrong and he could make a list way to long to list . Come on give me a break its a model and not a real car and i build models how id like to see them not box stock . If everyone here built every car box stock and stock colors it would be one boring site and there wouldnt be much to look at becides the same cars over and over .

jeff ewaskey Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 I agree Chris because I think it is darn cool. You did another awesome job,Buddy. Just for the record, if you reasearch the GM paint code for Pontiac Carousel Red it is the same color as Chevy Hugger Orange. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Looks cool man, and don't worry about critisicm, it will only make you a better builder, I bet the next one you do will look much better. I am sure he didn't say that to make you feel bad even though I think he should have gone about it a little better. I for one consider myself more old school, your choice of rims looks cool but I personally would have gone another route but hey, this is how you and some other people like it and that's what matters. Color choice is also beautiful even though I would have preferred a non metallic color but again, it does look great. One little word of advice, try working on your panel lines, they really do make a model stand out. These are little issues that we all here learn with time and if I tell you that it all looks perfect, I don't think I would be helping you. You have great potential to be an outstanding modeler. The engine bay by the way? Looks phenomenal!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bandit1 Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 sorry people but im a GTO nut and i cant help it!....sure you did a good job building it...but.....if its a GTO my thoughts are it HAS to be right....but again "TO EACH AND THERE OWN"?

CorvairJim Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Just my two cents worth, but I like it. Sure, there are a couple of things I would have done differently if it were my build... but it isn't MINE, it's Chris's. My only real problem with it is that the stripes are about 4" scale too far back for a stock build but then, this ISN'T a stock build, now is it? I'm more old school as far as rolling stock goes, but these don't look nearly as "wrong" as many that I've seen on GTO's (We have a purple one in my area jacked up, "Donk"-style, on rims that have to be at least 26"!) In fact, after going back for another look-see at the model, I kinda LIKE em'! That engine room looks great, and I like the black-out trim around the windows too. I think I would have done the rear bumper in body color to go along with the Endura front bumper - all that black out back just looks a little heavy-handed to me. Still, it looks like one great Goat to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
