Hey Jim,

This is just beautiful! This is your best yet, and I know you must be proud of it. Man, this is sweet enough to eat. Post some more pictures, we didn't satisfy our sweet tooth yet.

For what it is worth, my lady friend does a lot of beading, and the stuff you can find at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, Walmart, etc. can really, as you have shown, be used to great effect, I brouse through those aisles too when I go to the store, lots of little tools and treasures, try some of their beading wire too, looks great and can be perfect scale for our uses.

Man Jim, this is just one great looking car, keep up the good work buddy, and thanks for posting.

i dont know how i missed this one Jim but i do think this is the first model where i have no constructive critsism to offer what so ever

[bigmikevee]

Jim,

I just had to give it one more look, love this car! More pics sir.

Mike

[crazyjim]

Thank you, guys.

I don't ahve more pics, Mike. What other pics could I take?

[Bobdude]

How about a straight on pic of the rear.I would like to see how you did the taillights.Please

[bsoder]

Beautifully done Jim, love the color and the finish looks perfect ...I'm curious though as to why the frame isn't painted ...but then again who's gonna look

[bigmikevee]

Take a picture with the lady wrestler holding your car!!

[Tonioseven]

Beautiful work!!

[crazyjim]

The frame is painted cream and suspension components are mango. Both colors are used in the interior and engine. I like tying my colors together like that.

I get more pics later today.

Thank you for the postive replies.

I only saw Natalya at O'Hare airport once and got a pic with her. I've tried sending her the pic to autograph but got no reply. Maybe she doesn't like me.

Here's a couple more pics of my Citrus Coupe.

Bob - All I did for the taillight was to cutout the area and sand it down. I tried the bevel the edges. The actual taillight is clear acetate painted with a couple coats of Testor's metallic stop light red. After drying, I put a piece of BMF over the paint and used Micro Krystal Klear to glue it in.

That's one slick build Jim. The colors, the detailing, the stance, everything is awesome.

Thanks for sharing!

[crazyjim]

It's been my pleasure. Thank you, John.

[Steve Keck]

Jim, that's a home run! I really like the way all the colors work together.

[crazyjim]

Thanks, Steve. Yeah, I like the way the colors all come together on this build.

[Tom Setzer]

Very Nice Build Jim! The Colour is great on that Car, and I really like the way you carried it over to the Engine Details, Your whole engine bay is perfectly matched to the rest of the car. GREAT WORK!

CHEERS!

That is an absolutely gorgeous lil coupe. The engine detail is to die for...interior is sweet...paint is perfect....well done..very well done!

[crazyjim]

Thannnnnk you, guys. The computer tower (that was offered to MCM for a server) donated some of the wire used for hoses. They were just the right diameter and correct color.

[Dr. Cranky]

Another wonderful model, buddy. Thanks for sharing the eye candy.

[crazyjim]

Glad you like it Dr. Cranky even though there's no rust.

nice car! i have the sedan version too but now its a 37 ford sedan raodster. from a chopped top that failed needs alot of work on it though. i do wish revelle remake the 37 coupe version again. that would be nice that they did like the sedan and p/u truck. mabey we can all tell revelle to repop this 37 ford coupe kit again and it would a knock out seller. sounds good to me. any way cool car.

[crazyjim]

Thanks, Nathan. I've built several of the sedans but this was the first coupe. There's a couple more sedans and a convertible in the stash but I'd like to find more coupes.
