Looks great so far Al. Just curious, but do you have every bottle of paint Tamiya makes?

Thanks Dave.
On the Tamiya paint..... not quite! Tamiya do 88 colours and I currently have 70. Making me 18 short.
There are 99 jars on the shelves but that is because I have multiple bottles of the ones I use most.

You must be looking at it with those microsurgery goggles, Al. It's looking fine to me.

If my foiling looked as good as what I can see in your pics I'd be extremely pleased.
You must be very picky .

If there's a wrinkle somewhere, no big deal. Perfection is rarely attained anyway. Excellent passes muster for me. Great work.

Re: 1955 Chrysler 300
Thanks guys.
Colin and Steve:
I was born a Virgo and one of their traits is being a perfectionist, which I was until I met my wife. No, don't laugh, it's true. Over the years she taught me that life as a perfectionist is no fun at all. Constantly being dissatisfied with ones own best efforts is debilitaing.
Over the 39 years we have been together I have learned to accept and embrace my 'best efforts' at whatever I do. Accept for BMF. It still get's to me!!!

Re: 1955 Chrysler 300
I've been procrastinating on this one as I knew getting all the wiring/plumbing hooked up was going to be a PITA!! However, what I didn't anticipate was the problem of getting the chassis/interior/engine into the body. It fitted perfectly earlier!!!!
Anyway, it's done now and everything is hooked up.
Just realised the rad cap needs painting and there is a little touch up to do on the battery.!!!

That is a rockin' engine bay.
I wonder why that is. Everything fits and looks good. Then final assembly time and it turns into a struggle. Gremlins that's what it is.

Re: 1955 Chrysler 300
I never got why the companies did "test builds" (except for maybe cover fotos) as they already had finished the expen$ive dies the model parts are made from. How much can be done at that late stage if things don't quite fit?
Glad you got the thing together. A model isn't finished until a week after it's on the shelf!
