Why wouldn`t you finish this one?

because if he's like me, he's already got about 50 started projects....

C'mon Tonio get this one finished, its been a while since you completed something. You've made a great start so why not a great finish. And another thing........if you dont start turning them out again soon, i'll nag
you to death about buying from your unbuilt hoard of kits :lol2:

Cheers, Mike :sunglasse

Dear Antonio,

Sincerely,

-Paul

That's about right :p Plus I'm easily distracted by other stuff :disappoin

Thanks Paul but it's just a piece of crappy plastic for now; wait 'til I paint it, then it will be a painted crappy piece of plastic! :cwm27: :p

I choose not to classify it but call it what you want. :smile:

distracted by other stuff?
other kits you mean......?

cool build. any pics of the te27 levin in the bg?? have you started that?

Be nice to see it finished mate

Heh, 1. It's a Revell snap kit, 2. I'll get a pic of the Levin soon, 3. yeah, other kits, starting a business 4. I think this one will be finished pretty soon!:sunglasse

Hi. I have the final primer coat finished and sanded. I'm not sure on a color yet but that will fall into place soon. :grinyes: I have removed the door handles, locks, mold lines, drip rails, and the cowl induction door on the hood bulge. I like the smooth look on some cars. Not much but here's a couple of pics...

Beautiful color! Keep on truckin'.

What color is that? I love it! This thing is coming along great, and it seems, quickly! Hopefully you'll complete it before you get distracted by something else (thus is the curse of us modelers). Great work, tonio! Can't wait to see it done.

I just have one question...why did you remove all of the trim and various other items, yet you left the SS badge?

not knocking your style I love it infact, just curious.

btw, that is one of my favorite cars, and kits (if it is the monogram heavy chevy)

I'm not really sure :dunno: . Thanks all :)

Stripes or no stripes?!:)

Hmmmm I'd go with stripes depending on what color they will be.

Oooooh what a colour! Looks promising!

Hi. I figured I would try to complete at least one car in 2005 so this one may be it. The color is now Duplicolor Orange Mist. Stripes will soon follow.

Gorgeous colour, gorgeous finish (already), gorgeous lines to the car - it's going to be ...gorgeous :)

I recently promised myself to stop posting on other people's threads and use the time to build my own kits which are getting about 10 mins a day of my time at the moment but I had to make an exception here.

BTW I think it was a good call to remove all the door handles etc - really helps emphasise the body shape IMO

Mmm I like. Call it pro-touring if you wish, as long as it doesn't have a play station!

Looks awesome. is that color Model Master Dark Bronze Metallic? (edit... oh Duplicolor) keep up the great work!

edit: id say choice #3!

# 3 and keep that `Tarmac-plow`-stance !

lookin hot so far... I'd say go with choice 3

Wow, i love Orange Mist! One of the first colors i ever tried out;) I'd say go with Choice #3 as well;) Eventhough Choice #1 doesn't look too bad, and neither does #2:lol: What can i say man, you pick the best wheels:) Awesome car!

Nice work, I think wheels number 3 look classic on this car.

wheels nr. 3 for sure

i like #3 the best. looking great so far!

#3 all the way !

#3!! Lookin good! :icon16:

If you put wheels #1 on this car, I'll never look at one of your threads again.

I like 3, though!

definately #3. i like that color. it would look great on that riviera i got from you!

okay. Number 3 it shall be. :lol:

Hi. I got the body rubbed out and I found another wheel choice. I'll still probably use #3 but #4 would be nice with gunmetal-colored spokes :) Thanks for looking.:)

I like the rims!

yep, they do look good on that body too

Im confused, what happened to the stripes? (edit:sorry i see them now) looks good though. i still like wheel #3. #4 is to Crager (redneck) looking.... no offense, just my opinion. :icon16:

#4 ain't bad.......Surprise us!

Yes, surprise us; use steelwheels ;)

Looks awesome! Go with #3 or #4. Number 3 are more rare i think.. the other ones are more common. Keep it up!

It's finished. Thanks for the replies :)

Very very nice master.Congrads.
