Very curious to know more about "foiling" !
Must google !
Looks very good and real, but can just imagine the "pain" in that work!

Re: '59 El Camino-Updates-11/05
Joe, I commend you for supporting your boy in all his endeavors; family always comes first. I have also had very limited time on the workbench, getting a few things done for 20-30 minutes at a time per day. However, today starts Hobby Day weekend and I'll be able to go full bore on so many models; possibly even finishing a few of them. Hey, I have 10 more to go before I reach 1500 finished models!
Enough about me. Your foil work is phenomenal; so stunningly amazing that I am overwhelmed seeing the perfection. You truly have the Midas touch on your models. Keep plugging man, this is really well worth watching!

Thanks for the kudos gents!
Mark: Well.....the kid I'm building this for isn't my son but one of his friends. My son, Joseph, dabbles in the hobby every once in a while.
Ok fellas....some more done over the weekend. Still have to work on the hood fit, tail lights and some other small issues but it's all but there.

Mustang, this is absolutely incredible work, from the levels of fit and finish all the way through to the finely judged effect of scale. Mind blowing work, sincerely! I definitely feel you leveling up on your last couple of projects. On a side note: I’d pay for tickets to see you build the 1/24 Hellcat, bud. That would be one beautiful show!

This is so remarkable. I almost mistook this for a real car; the background gave it away as a model.
Wow!
And as Bruce said, I'd pay good money to watch you build that 1/24 scale Hellcat!
