Much obliged there Buddy. I keep telling myself to buy a new pair of tweezers but I guess I'm just not listening 😁 If you find the "magic tweezers" let me know and I'll get a set because I've got the same problem. Haha...I don't know if they will be "Magic" but they will be a different pair that's not wore out. |

Man that looks PERFECT!!! Gotta love those days when the temperature and humidity play nice so that you can get those kinds of results. Heck man......that's a winner paint job without the clear!!  |

Probably the best colour match to a picture I have ever seen. As if they made the paint just for that purpose! Mind you I am biased since that paint was made by Tamiya to match my first FRS (Toyota 86).  |

Dang it that's smooth Bob!! That car body looks like liquid glass and the BMF work just puts the cherry on top. Beautiful work!! I've not used the 2K clear before but I'm most certainly liking the results I'm seeing you get out of it. I've been using Testors Wet Look clear now for a long time so I've stayed with it exclusively but if it ever stops being produced I know which clear I'll be going with after seeing these builds of yours.  |

The stance is perfect and I like the look with the side trim removed. Of course the big old meats are a must have! Love that cartoon and I think you're well on the way to depicting it with your build.
Just realized I hadn't scrolled all the way through the thread and missed the paint - OUTSTANDING!
