gasser59 Posted August 5, 2013 Posted August 5, 2013 Great googly-moogly...that is one sweet looking Ford engine. You're work is so clean, I love it Charlie.
MoparMark Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Looks fantastic so far can't wait to see more. Go Charlie Go.
Pro Tech Posted August 6, 2013 Author Posted August 6, 2013 Thanks guys! Ed, no, the nuts are not stacked (one per location), that the thickness they are etched in. Charlie Pro Tech
SteelyEd Posted August 6, 2013 Posted August 6, 2013 Thanks, when on the "tree" they seam to be rather thin, but after seeing them installed, apparently they aren't too thin after all. Thanks for the reply.
PappyD340 Posted August 7, 2013 Posted August 7, 2013 Very NICE Charlie, did you use testors metalizer paints, looks great!!
Pro Tech Posted August 8, 2013 Author Posted August 8, 2013 Very NICE Charlie, did you use testors metalizer paints, looks great!! Thanks guys! Pappy, I only use metalizer paints on the smallest of small parts (brushed) as I don't use an airbrush for any paint work, I hate the set-up/clean-up
Pro Tech Posted October 7, 2013 Author Posted October 7, 2013 Well I got a "little" more done on this. Installed the following Pro Tech parts - plug wires, plug wire looms, plug boots, fuel line with hex fittings. I then mildly weathered everything to give it that "real world' effect. On to the tire/wheel assembly! Thanks for looking! Charlie Pro Tech Model Parts
Mooneyzs Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 (edited) Hey Charlie... Its great to see you back on this. the detail looks great. I am looking forward to more. On another note... Have you thought about doing spark plug wire looms in 1/16th scale to fit your 1/16th scale plug wire??... hint hint ... Edited October 7, 2013 by Mooneyzs
W-409 Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Looking Great! Your work is always impressive. Those Metal Finishes are really nice and that combined with spectacular detailing looks very good. My Pro Tech Braided Lines are somewhere between Miami and Finland... Can't wait.
gasser59 Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 Charlie - your builds are always top notch and so clean looking. Love your style and the look of your builds. I'll need to get some of your products too. Nicely done.
John Teresi Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Charlie......Great work!!!!!!!.......a note to all fellow modelers.......you gotta use "Pro Tech" products.......that`s all I use ......they are the best.
Mooneyzs Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Charlie......Great work!!!!!!!.......a note to all fellow modelers.......you gotta use "Pro Tech" products.......that`s all I use ......they are the best. John.... I have to 2nd this Charlie's parts are some of the best in the business and Charlie is a great guy to do business with and he is a great guy.
Pro Tech Posted October 8, 2013 Author Posted October 8, 2013 Thanks guys for the kind comments, really appreciate them! It's been hard trying to get some progress on this with other things in life keeping me busy. Who knows, at this rate maybe I'll have her done by decades end :lol: . Chris, I have thought about the looms in 1/16 but don't think the market is there yet. Good idea though! Charlie Pro Tech
Mooneyzs Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Charlie... I think I have you beat on getting progress done. I have been on my funny car for over 2-1/2 years now and I need to finish it so I can move on to someone builds I have planned lol. No worries on the looms. I totally understand. I am trying to figure out what I can use for them for my Army Vega F/C. I almost wish I had my own home photo-etch system at home ...lol Get to the bench when you can and I will be looking forward to your next update. I just love how clean your work is.
Magic Photos Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Looks great Charlie very nice detail parts.
Pro Tech Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 (edited) Thanks guys, well I got a "little" more done on this. Wheels/Tires are complete with added detail using Pro Tech's hex fittings (PTMC 25) for lug nuts and machined aluminum valve stems (PTMC 72). Next, I installed Pro Tech's racing harness (PTMC 17) revised to represent a vintage style (a tutorial how to do this is on my website) on the kits seat. Till next time, thanks for looking!

gasser59 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Very nice Charlie. I love your work. I'm looking forward to your next update.
Mooneyzs Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 Charlie... top notch work my friend. I always love your attention to detail and how clean your work always is as well as that added westhering touch you add.
S. Svendsen Posted January 8, 2014 Posted January 8, 2014 That's impressive. I will be watching this one.
Pro Tech Posted January 9, 2014 Author Posted January 9, 2014 Thanks guys, I'm working on the body now (final polish/detail paint) and will post next. Charlie Pro Tech
