andyh Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 So after an 11 year break, this was my first model that I had a go at and luckily it got me back into modelling, but I made so many mistakes whilst making it. My biggest problem is rushing near the end of completion and not letting things dry, but I have learned my lesson and on my last model which was the Pirelli Golf it turned out really well. I was really pleased with the paintwork on this, but I reckon by the time I had finished its had 2 full rattle cans on it, but it had a lovely shine once I polished it up, and the decals sat pretty nicely on it. So this is not perfect by a long way, but it made me fool in love with a hobby that I had been doing on and off for over 40 years. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiny Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 There certainly a lot of these popping up - I think there must be a Gran Torino farm somewhere around these parts. Â The car looks really good, even more so when you consider it's a returning model. As you say, it has a lovely shine and I for one can't see the 'mistakes' you refer to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bzn20 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Great job ,great car . The car wasn't a muscle car but they made it look like one , glad to see it had the thin black line to separate white from red , gets missed usually ... Has this been re-released then ?  Well done and thanks for showing Anyway Music to watch cars by . Hip dippin' Huggy Bear ,Starsky and Hutch , great memories . James Taylor Quartet , seen this live . Brilliant ! There was 2 themes over the years . I reckon it's the best theme for a TV prog anywhere...….. I think !   2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
