Martin OostromDang, you're quick mr C. Already commenting while I'm still uploading and sorting my pictures.
I've got a couple of cars done already, this one is underway and many more in the stash.
I think I have a disadvantage versus the specialist builders. My stash contains plenty models of a variety of topics. Planes, ships, trains, trucks, cars and even some armour. But yes, it bit me too 👍

Martin Oostrom@James. My stash is tiny compared with yours, 55 vs 405 kits. I told the mrs I need to catch up, for some reason she disagrees 😄 We do have 2 kits in common, the Academy Catalina and the Aussie truck!
@Nathan, thanks. It actually was a bit of a disappointment, as the shop showed it as 1:24, but she is 1:32.

Martin OostromPainted the underside and glossed the car. Glossing doesn't look good at first glance. Will polish after curing

Martin OostromSo I channeled my inner Augie today. Purely brush painting! Painted the seats, carpeting, dashboard, interior doors and the hubcaps.

Peter HardyIf you can replicate Augie's brushwork I'll stand on my head and sing Waltzing Matilda! Anyway, pink upholstery gets me every time, I'm in! I am so masculine it's embarrassing sometimes.

AugieHAHA see I told you anyone can do it! Pete, sing away 🙂 Nice Martin, very nice

Greg BakerI concede the point. But Don, I thought you were doing a Pink Fire Truck...?

Martin OostromPete, if Augie says it's nice, start singing!
I'm sure Bob will say something like this in a future comment: 'Donald's Caddy is build in America, so it must be bigger. If it's bigger, it's better' 😉
Donald, being copied is the most sincere form of flattery!
James, Clifford, Augie, Greg, Chris, Lode and Bob, welcome aboard for the ride. Plenty of room in this battleship!

Martin OostromI need a new jar with elbow grease, any suggestions where to get High quality stuff?
So, after two hours of polishing, I am VERY happy with the result. I was quite doubtful after the initial pink and gloss coat. The bonnet and boot were very grainy. After the polish, I kinda regret of not putting more effort in the pink. That's life!
Question: I'm done polishing. With what do I clean the body? Regular water, dish washing soap? Something else?

Chris GreathouseAre we doing a Caddy vs Caddy competition with a vote at the end? Or did you guys just happen to start the same kit?
5 June 2019, 20:59
Martin OostromI don't mind a vote, nowhere to go but up for me 😄
This is Donald's: 1959 Pink Caddy | Album by smokeriderdon (1:25)
He's doing a 1:25 Revell kit, mine is a 1:32 Gunze.

Donald Dickson IIPlus mine is a 59 and Martin's is a 57.i was just being silly. Martin will kick my ass anyway. ????

Clifford KeeslerCool Caddy. Excellent paint job. Augie has a contender for master of the hairy stick huh? LOL.

Bob HallAnyone else craving a big wad of cotton candy right now too ??????? MMMMMMMMM........ Candy ! AHHH !
5 June 2019, 23:52
Martin OostromHold your horses everybody! I only painted the interior with a brush, the body was airbrushed. Don't put me on a pedestal where I don't belong 🙁 Augie is the true master 👍
There are some air vents at the end of the bonnet, just before the windscreen wipers. What colour should those be?

Martin OostromSir Cox, you made it!
Sadly enough The King isn't here. My very first record I ever bought was from Elvis. Heavenly music for a teenager in the 80s.

Kerry COXI am just so glad I was just a bub when 'rock'n' roll' started. Great times indeed. 👍

Martin OostromThe presence of KC is a two-edged sword. It gives me braggin' rights'; 'KC is looking at my build!' But it also has me messing with BMF now. And I was so close to my finish line! 😉
6 June 2019, 10:01
Kerry COXIt's your work and attention to detail that I get all excited about Martin. Bragin' rights. ? How good does that make me feel. 👍 👍 👍 🙂
6 June 2019, 10:25
Donald Dickson IIAwww damn it Kerry! Now I gotta go get some BMF. I cant have Martin out doing me.
6 June 2019, 15:17
Donald Dickson IILOL That works for me! I really dont feel like going out to Hobby Lobby.

Bob HallMaybe a big fat Cohiba cigar in the ashtray and a big Bobaloo Bongo drum in the back seat, I can see it !
6 June 2019, 18:43
Kerry COXDonald D II. With the new chrome pen on the market, it could work if you mask off and run the pen over the areas you would use BMF on. ? ! Maybe. ???

Greg BakerSeeing the intensity of this thread, I'm glad there's basically no chance of me wearing the same dress to the party as any of my scale mates. Well, except maybe Nils...

Martin OostromThe Bearded Dutchman is done with this car!

Paul JulianoOh man, that's fantastic. I immediately thought of Goodfellas! Poor Johnny Roastbeef...
