Dragonhawk1066 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I finished the Lindberg 1929 Mercedes Benz SSK a few days ago. It's painted in Apple Barrel Dark Granite Gray and Anita's Glossy Black. This one was a little out of my comfort zone of mainly 60's and 70's muscle cars and fought me every step of the way, but I managed to get it finished. I started working on this one while I was stalled on the 1969 Ford Torino Cobra and it didn't take too long to finish after that one was done. It's not my best work, but it will look just fine on my shelf when I finally get one. Thanks for looking! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done. Thanks! It was a lot more challenging than I expected. I also have the '31 Bugatti Royale that I planned on doing not long after this one, but after the fight it gave me I won't be subjecting myself to that kind of torture again anytime soon, lol.

(Bugatti too) Yes, one of my very early introductions to Ollie's. I've only managed to score a handful of kits there over the years though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Great job. To think I grabbed that for the rims and tires because I didn't think you could do much with it. I have been proved very wrong. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
