plus here is a pic of the GTO, its got a coat of halfords vauxhaul ceramic blue on it, i gave it 6 coats so far, gonna put 4 coats of clear on it soon, then polish, it up. gonna strip all the chrome plating from the grill etc and use alclad i think, to keep it looking real. dont u think the pearl in the paint is nice in this scale! almost like the hologram flakes you can add to the real paint:icesangel

lol P-man you speak the truth I have about 20 kits now seating in my closet all of them bough within last 2 months.

those are nice kit though :bigthumb: good buys, I have the enzo and it's probably going to be one of my last project to make sure it comes out good.

Is that the AMT 1965 GTO. :frown:

I'm working on the same kit, but the bad thing is i've got to strip mine.

Painted in Telefonica blue. now I'm gonna paint it Tamiya blueviolet.

I got the 'Enzo' about 3 weeks ago, but I haven't opened it yet. I'm afraid that if I do, I'll immediately put all other projects on 'hold' and focus all remaining efforts (what little there is) on the Enzo. Might not be such a bad thing, but I think I'd like to finish a few others first. Besides, I'm not totally confident in my 'skills' yet, so a little extra practice won't hurt.

model devil struck me all the time. the way I use to minimize the "IMPACT" :bananadie to my wallet is to keep the $$ level in wallet just enough for 1-2 days spending on food, travel...etc

so no extra $$ to buy kits......:biggrin2:

however, I bought 4 kits this week, damn it. I am gonna to have bread :1zhelp: for lunch for the whole week :wtf:

I think Grand Prix Models do it. They are in the UK. Here's their web address:

www.grandprixmodels.com

Did you buy the kit in the UK? Was it expensive?

Unfortunately Chris, if you want that stuff now, you'll have to order it from abroad, as it is not out here yet (it works out a little cheaper to order from Japan).

I have (I think) about 7 cars I haven't even touched yet - they were the last ones in the store and I drove for an hour to get there, so my mother demanded I buy something(she paid too, fine with me!) but the problem is I got a crapload of models now :mad: DAMN YOU SATANIC MODELLING DEMON!!! :icesangel

Damn, wish I had that much money to spend on models :frown:

GTO is looking great! You should make it a lowrider, the lowrider style would really suit the paint that is on it!

chrismcgee
06-11-2003, 03:48 AM
it is gonna be as low as the arches can take!!!!! it has a realy easy axle system, so its just a case of a new hole to lower! nice, gonna put a few coats of clear on it then polish it up, put the chrome side exit exhausts on too!!! cant wait to get it going so to speak, may do some work tonight:dogpile:

I know what you mean about the "model devil", he is the reason why I have over 100 kits waiting to be built right now. As a matter of fact, he is the reason why I bought 5 kits at the last Hobby Lobby 1/2 off sale a couple of weeks ago. BTW-ear plugs don't help either lol.

Damn Model Devil, I have a whole lot of kits that are unstarted and don't know which to choose. I just ordered 12 more from HLJ two days ago. :comprage1
