Hawk, I won't be finishing anytime soon because I jump from one kit to another. I'm very bad at that. I'll think something takes too long or I'm waiting around for something to dry and I'll start another, but when I'm building something for someone that's paying me or there's a contest of some sort, I'll get a kit done within a week or two. Depending on how much customization there is too be done. The mustang took me 3 days for the putty to cure and took 1 hour to reconstruct the bumper and make the fender flares/side skirts and the rear tail. I'd like to finish it soon because many of the shops that have seen it think that is the only one I should finish. Classic muscle car lovers I guess. Soon enough, it willl be done. -Walter

What happened to your Hamman 360?

Flyonthewall, The 360 is being done for a customer at a local hobby shop. I was just there yesterday and the customer hasn't decided on the type of Rims he wants put on yet. I'd like to get it done already because my Revell 360 Spider is 90% done. You still remember that thing? WOW. I think I put that up 3 months ago. I will get pics when I finish. Too bad I can't keep it though.

Hawk, I just responded to Fly's post. To answer yours I would charge about 200.00 U.S. dollars for something like the Mustang with the side skirts, fender flares, Lowering job, and paint (included). Rims, kit, accesories are left up to the customer. This usually depends all on what the person wants. The Ferrari 360 that Flyonthewall is referring to is about the same price. Its got some body modifications, lowering job, aftermarket wheels and some extra engine detailing, and an Italian red paint job. Oh well there are many factors that I consider. Box stock kits like Fujimi's, I have charged 80.00 U.S. Tamiya's at about 110.00-120.00 with engine. Seems like a lot of money, but when you think about time and effort over a span of a few weeks. This ends up less than part-time wages. Just extra cash on the side. I've known people who pay a lot more for finished kits and I'm trying to be fair and within reach for working class people.

I remeber it coz u were doing an excellent job and i fancied doing one myself. There aren't many good pics available and that's why i was impressed. I was at a car show recently and there was one there so i took the opportunity to take a couple of close up pics in case i ever get around to it. The funny thing about it was that there was a model (female type) stood next to the car, not very pretty, the stupid bitch thought i wanted pics of her and started bending over the car sticking her arse out etc Your welcome to see the pics when they get developed

The colour and stripes look great and go together well.
