Hey Mike thats a real shame about having to redo her buddy. It was looking superb too, but I am certain it will be just as good 2nd time around.

Pete

The body is yellow again. About 2 coats on right now of a Testor's yellow. The Testor's is only the base coat; I'll use the Model Master Bright Yellow in the rattle can after I've wet sanded it.

Mike

p.s. This really is a nice break from Armor...need to come here more often!

Mike: You are welcome anytime!!

She's baaaaack!





Mike

Mike, glad to see it's back to where it was. As for my Ford Focus, she is about done. I attached the last couple parts (side-view mirrors and stretched sprue radio attenae). Afterwards I noticed that there was a smudge in the roof gloss coat thanks to pressing a little too hard with my finger. After polishing that out I was all ready to call it done when I realized I polished away part of the paint job along the longitudinal seam at the top corner above the doors. Once I hide that tonight I will take pictures and call it done.

Calling the tuned 2001 Ford Focus SVT done!













Thanks for looking.

Nicely done Van...

The SVT looks to be a real beauty Van, great job Make sure to get a pic or 3 in the group build gallery:

Very nice Van...Like the color choices.

Mike

Almost!





Bumpers, tail lights, mirrors (maybe), and a little more shine.

Don't mind the Hurricane in the back.

Mike

FINALLY some building time!!!! I'm cutting things short again! Not by will though. The kitchen isn't cooperating (well delivery firm that is...)

All of this was to be already primed (well not the wheels or course), waiting for final paint. There are no short-cuts for a bad fit. The trailer was grossly out of fit, still not quite there yet unfortunately.

Van:Nice work buddy. Focus looks great.
Mike:Glad you stuck at it with the pick-up, nearly done and looks good buddy.

Pete

I just need to add the single mirror at the top of the driver's door:



Mike

Mike it looks really great, yellow is a mother ... Don't like nitpicking but this stood out... in addition to the mirror did you forget the door handles?

LOL, nope. I removed the molded on ones. She's "Slicked." Electronic doors. Tho, I may put a little "button" on the driver's door.

Mike

Thoughts? 'Cause I'm callin' it Fini!





Mike

Edit: The only thing I don't like is the fact that the headlights turned out to be TOO yellow...that bugs me.

It does look good Mike. As for the headlights, custom covers to protect from stone chips; remove them when you need the lights?

Great work Mike, and 2 really good paint jobs.
Cheers Pete

LOL, THAT'S the story and I'm stickin' with it!

Mike

I'm making progress, but its slow going for me... Tonight's the night or its not going to get finished in time, sigh!

(I've forgotten how labor-intensive kandies are...)

Stick with it Brian it looks sweet.

Pete

Some great looking builds here guys but it looks like I'm not going to be able to complete my build Back in the summer my G4 drove off the workbench and broke apart Nothing that can't be mended but I lost my mojo for the build and put it back in the box where it has been sitting
I guess it will be a candidate for a get r done campaign

Done, just under the wire

Nice little Rav4 there James.
