kpnuts Posted July 23, 2020 Author #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.

yvesvidal Posted August 2, 2020 #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. Yves Canute, BobG, popeye the sailor and 4 others 7
