I never would have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out. I am amazed with your eye for such things and your attention to detail. Very impressive. The car is looking fantastic. Your wheel arch extensions look great. Keep up the great work.

More likely AMS is kicking in

Here's couple of comparison pics:




Only few minor tweaks and it's time for a primer, finally.

Quick update, first layer of primer on.

Coming together beautifully, excellent work!

Wow Tomi, that is looking terrific!!

I can't wait to see the end result. Again.......wow!!

Thanks,
Randy

Yes, a unique subject

Progress is slow atm, but managed to spray black primer on. Also it's pretty darn clear that I can't spray any of the following paint here at home, too much fine cat hair around. You can vacuum all day long and still there's always that one string of hair flying around... Ragdolls, great looking animals but side products just sometimes drive me crazy

Looks awesome!!!!!!!!

Randy

Once again thanks guys, and here's small update. Vinyl roof, made from wide Tamiya masking tape:



and after some Vallejo brown/black acrylic color:



I will foil trimming later so little paint spill is covered, can't do it now because foil is bit sensitive to handling. Maybe after skull decorations.

That was a brilliant idea. It turned out really well and looks very realistic. Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to your next installment.

Randy

Couple more baby steps taken, vinyl roof trim, glass and skull decals are on.

Looks terrific!!!!

Here's another small one with front bumper painted and glued on. AK Interactive's Xtreme metal chrome used here, and while not mirror finish it's just perfect for this job.

Sipe pipes & skull decor

awesome replica build.
The vinyl roof effect and all the other mods

Here's major update, not much left to do

That is one cool project. Everything is looking great. The figure looks awesome!! Can't wait to see more.

Thanks,
Randy

I had little accident with rear bumper, it snapped in two as I tried to bend it. Plastic was much harder than I expected, shouldn't come as a surprise as that part seems to be ancient... But I managed to glue it back together so that it is now bent like in the movie, so in a way it was happy accident

And here's rear. '59 Pontiac rear done, trunk mounted spare and hub caps.

Looking absolutely wonderful Tomi. As I have stated before, I am really impressed with your work.

Thanks for sharing the photos.

Randy

And here's final update before weathering, I might add one or two minor details but construction is finally done

It looks absolutely terrific Tomi. Excellent job!!

Randy

What a superb build! Really neat work and some great techniques on display.

Can't wait to see the weathering end result.

Cheers, D

That is BOSS!
