Certainly a build to place in a prominent place and show proudly. I found it a pleasure to follow your effort and watch it develop Alan.

Sooner or later you will get to the part of the engine that converts money into noise.

What were those naval architects thinking putting all those exposed pipes there like that anyway?
Made little difference. They could have run them inside the stack or in a second false stack but why bother. It would have just made things harder and more costly and would have had little advantage other than aesthetics as the stack is not armored/

I was just referring to my buddy's car in high school. It really had nothing to do about your build, in face his Fury was blue and white not red, but your build still reminded me of his.
You have done a very nice job of building not only an iconic car but using a classic kit as well. No need to change or add anything.

Pretty cavernous front seat as well. No buckets or center console. "What movie?"

Nice work Denis
I think I would have installed the rear side windows as my mental picture just seems like that is how it should be. A friend of mine had exactly the same car that was a hand-me-down family car from his dad in high school. The stripe on the side and I think the roof were white though if I remember right. We were all jealous because it attracted almost all of the girls in school and drive-in movies were plentiful back then!

There is some awesome stuff out there
I think you are just being modest Chris
I'm not talking about what is available out there. I am certain there are some awesome kits available. It's what has been done with this one that makes it stand out, even under a closeup lens, and we all know how that normally goes.

I might be able to use
I ALWAYS find something I didn't know I needed! I'm even worse in book stores.
I think your build of this ship is more than just a little awesome. I have the old 1/249 Revell DE kit in plastic and I would be afraid to build it and try to compare it with yours. I don't know when or if I have ever seen a paper model kit done as well as this.

If you are using video as coloring choices, I would also suggest "Das Boot". It was only a movie prop built 1:1 but I think they paid considerable attention to authenticity and detail.
Your work is looking nice as well.

I can just see her opening the freezer door and seeing a freight car or two sitting there. My wife would just figure I had slipped another cog and go about her business figuring all was pretty much normal.

I'm not talking about the impact of the shell, of course you would expect that to be destructive, I'm talking about the Shockwave from the muzzle of the gun. A LOT more powerful than you would expect, and almost certain to cause injury to anyone on the outside of the tank when fired.

If someone touches off that 120MM gun while Dave is sitting there I am pretty certain that he will never be quite the same again! I have been close to a M-60 105MM when they lit it off and was glad that I wasn't any closer. The shock wave even when you are not in front or all that close is impressive. Makes a hand Grenade feel like a child's toy.

The F-1 and Dodge look nice to me. The show car on the other hand............................😝 Especially at over a million dollars!

I know that it's hard to look at a pink car
I don't know.
Here is one I have in my stash. Went to quite some effort getting the decals for it. If I get it actually built it would be one of two Lotus 30/40s in my collection.
The real car has been fully restored to it's Pink Stamp livery including the backwards #1 and is alive and well in Portland Oregon.

At some point words are just not enough. You reached that point long ago Valeriy! Truly a masterpiece.

Do you have a Maker Space or something similar where you live Ken? They cost money but most do offer courses along with access to printers.
