Awesome work this year! Just great stuff.

Outstanding, Chris!

Awesome builds. That Tojo paint job is too dizzying for me to replicate. It’s not too bad with the 109 I did earlier this year.

All great build, Chris. I think I like the car best by just a little bit.

Nice batch of builds for this year CB,

Bravo! That Rufe is so appropriately salt blasted it is a work of Abstract Art. Congratulations on everything you have done this year and my best wishes for many more years of builds to come!

Those all look great, Chris! How in the world did you paint that Tojo? That is fantastic paintwork!

And the weathering on the Rufe-just perfect!

I once lusted after a Superbee in that same color! It was a '69 or '70 iirc.

Thanks a lot Gary. I'll quote myself from the last time I answered this question

Thanks everyone. As far as how I painted the camo goes, it was pretty simple. I took some Tamiya JA Green and thinned it with some Tamiya Retarder -- probably 1:3 ratio. Then I just took a round size '0' brush and started dotting on paint in the shape I wanted for the individual splotch and then the paint dots would join together. It took me a 4 or 5 sessions to finish the paint job as hand cramping was an issue, so you had to know when to stop and come back tomorrow...

Thanks John. Yes, the car has the shine factor going for it!
