Thanks for the compliments! Fixing that roof pillar was a pain. When I installed the glass I cracked the putty. I patched it up again. Yes Sylvain, I am addicted to both scales!

That is absolutely beautiful! The blue with the foil just "does it". Actually the pics aren't very good, why don't you send it to me and I'll "Shotgu...." er..... examine it more closely. :whistle:

You are the kit sleuth and master of reconstruction (and one fast driver to boot)!

Jeff.. Really a great build. Absolutely beautiful paint and trim..
I've never seen anyone as good at the chrome foil as you.. it just makes the car.
I think Harry should change your "HRW Veteran" title to "Master of Foil" :lol:

Thanks again for the compliments! The car has already been on it's roof. Luckily no damage. Must be the clear coat! I just noticed my new title, HA, HA!

Just saw the 300 SL, Jeff. It came out really nice! As others have said, the paint and chrome foil combination makes it look sleek and rich. Maybe next year's Pan Americana car..............??
If you're going to be the "Master of Foil", then here's a potential new avatar for you:

............just kiddin' ;)
