I started this one this morning. It's an Ertl diecast bank. It'll be a curbside build. It's now dechromed and ready for it's first primer coat. I have not planned where this is going. I'm just gonna see where it ends up!

Been awhile since I checked his stuff. Only trouble is that alot of his work leaves something to be desired... wobbly trim lines, door lines, some funky proportions. But, when yer the only game in town...

I've got one of these also. Frenched Caddy tail lights perhaps? Look good.

I've pretty much got the body smoothed up on this one now. I'm painting the interior and thinking about different tail lights.

I the used Polyester finishing and blending putty and Bondo Spot Putty to level them out. The dark stripes are brushed on Testors primer. Sometimes I use this to help seal the poriosity of the fillers.
