Looking good mate this is really coming along. Just love those farside cartoons they have me in stitches.
Why thank you Sir! Feel free to pinch as I nicked the idea of the tape from here anyway. If you have tape with a texture in on it, some Micro Sol might help sink the decals into it. I was afraid that if I used Micro Sol on mine, it might have soaked into the tape adhesive and the tape would come apart...Looking magnificent young man. I will pinch your idea for the seat belts if I may because I think I may need it for my Supra build.
Thanks Bro! Cars are a different ball of wax to build......I love the 'Far Side' and 'Pearls Before Swine' cartoons. A lot of out of the box humor and so hilarious. Larry the Crocodile, from 'Pearls', is my absolute favorite...Looking good mate this is really coming along. Just love those farside cartoons they have me in stitches.
Thank you Simon! I just wish they had some texture on them. I was thinking about replacing them with HGW 1/32 WWI airplane pieces, but they would have been too small, with the wrong buckles...LOL...That looks really nice love the belts
Me too Allen going to take a break from all this 1/72 stuff for a bit and the GBs. I’m getting burned out in this scale for now. Updates look awesome.I am going to do what AndyT is doing and take a break from this
Thanks Andy! Uhh, Neat and clean??? Okay, it's going alright, but gotten too hot to paint the body. Are sure sure you read my post with the right glasses on, Sir??? LOL!!!...Great work buddy. Looking very clean and neat, as I'd expect from you.
Thanks and me too Garry! I hope within the next couple of weeks to have it finished. 30°C heat is the biggest prob right now...That is looking really good Allen, I'm keen to see the end result.
Thanks Buddy! I had to go back to the Deuce 'n a half for a change of pace too. Cars are fun though...Me too Allen going to take a break from all this 1/72 stuff for a bit and the GBs. I’m getting burned out in this scale for now. Updates look awesome.
Thank you too Tony and good to see you looking in. I wanted to get the body base coat done yesterday, but it got too hot to hissy...The eats were most excellent and of course a cold Wagner is perfect to wash it down with. Next time, I will definitely extend an invite to everyone here too!!!...Just had a catch up allen - fabulous work mate , it looks excellent . Cant wait to see what colour youve decided on . Good to see the porky goodness of your little party hasnt distracted you from the build too much , I bet it was a fantastic affair - hot roast pork and beer , heaven ! ( that crackling looks unbelievable, my dentist likes pork crackling - well he likes what it does to my teeth and to his wallet !)
Carry on the great work and dont forget to invite the rabble next time theres a BBQ !
Much appreciated Jim! Crazy, but it's over a week now and they are still sticking to the sidewalls (he says with fingers and toes crossed)!!!Great progress. All very neat. Love the way the tyre decals have come out.
Thanks too Paul! Oh, and your nostalgia struck me too when looking for something else. See below Buddy...Beautiful job Allen. The cage is well worthy of the name. Will stiffen things up for sure.
Thank you Steve! I'm not a fan of PE belts or plain decal belts either. I was just trying to make them look better than flat as a piece of paper...Looking lovely Allen. I have to admit that I like the look of the seat belts. A lot less hastle than PE
Thanks Bob, but I ain't too sure on the clean part! I was just happy to get rid of the blue plastic any way I could...Just had a catch up Allen, this is coming together beautifully, nice clean build.
