Thanks guys!

I think I got a bad batch of Mission Models Gloss Clear, it comes out super chalky and more matte than the front doorstep. Not sure what the issue is, I pledged (floor polish) it instead.
Cat decided it looked like a toy, so it is back on the bench for a little while....

Thanks guys! As that previos Dodge sits on my bench waiting to be fixed, I decided to start the 71 Plymouth GTX. I have done it in black with red interior.

Greetings all,
I'm BACK!
I moved again, third move since I came to the province. I moved with my girlfriend to a new apartment in the city. Smaller place, not a lot of room for model making. However I managed to finish the 2009 Dodge Challenger. Progress has been made on the Spit too. I hope to see more of this forum, and get more of a chance to work on models and get back into this hobby fully.

Looks great!

Nice build on the car Declan. And also a congrats to you on the latest move to a new residence. That phase of life is so busy as I remember…. :hmm: Modeling time and space does tend to be quite limited.
