kpnuts Posted July 23, 2020 Author Share #62 Posted July 23, 2020 Damaged the roof and had to respray the whole thing again (if the rest of the masking comes off like this I think I got away with it) Cut some of the tiles away from the edge to give a bit more room to display things. marktiedens, popeye the sailor, Ryland Craze and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yvesvidal Posted July 26, 2020 Share #64 Posted July 26, 2020 It is such a detailed model that your idea to present it partially disassembled, is excellent. Yves popeye the sailor, mtaylor, lmagna and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpnuts Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share #65 Posted July 26, 2020 Thanks guys. Hi all I saw these dental sticks in a shop somewhere and thought they must be usefull in modelling, well I've found a first use for them. Also made the casters for the tool chest.

yvesvidal Posted August 2, 2020 Share #72 Posted August 2, 2020 Kent, this is fantastic. Yes, this is too nice a booth to have the typical "pin-ups" calendar...... The model is fantastic and when I showed it to my girlfriend, she thought it was a real car. I can see a first Prize somewhere at the next exhibit.
