The BBB............Big Bad Buick.

I just finished this kit, but does not look anything like yours.  Yours is spectacular.  My paint fisheyed even after cleaning the plastic.

Looks FANTASTIC!

LOOKS AWESOME!  You've got talent that only I can dream about.  

Very nice!

What a great color choice Geno ! 

Beautiful build !

another work of art! The interior and engine bay are spectacular Geno.

Thanks guys, I really do appreciate it. The only kit I've built as pictured on the box is the GSX.

@geno 

Do you have any painting tips you'd like to share ? 

I paint with factory colors obtained from automotive stores. I use the proper primer coat and pay attention to instructions. 

I take my time... PATIENCE is what's needed...at least I think so ! 

Then, when ready for color coats, after choosing the primer color, it's time for fun !! 

Even here in SoCal where the weather is pretty constant and 'friendly' for painting, I soak my spray cans in a warm water container for 10-15mins before my spray sessions.

When it comes to other model parts... I spray from a 2-3 ft distance to achieve a more textured finish. 

Like a vinyl top or textured interior.

I LOVE my hobby...or should I call it my passion. 

I love seeing all your build pics !!

You're an inspiration to us all !

Geno, great job on this GSX! I love all of your detail work, it brings back memories of the GS455 I had for 22 years.

We're those doorhandles shaped like 1:1's or did you drill them out ?  I'm not familiar with this kit ?

Pete, what happened to it ? And what color ? 

Yellow ?

Steve, it was gold with a brown vinyl top and matching interior.  15" Buick rallys with white outline tires.  I have some better pictures somewhere.  Sold it a few years ago now resides somewhere in the East.

thanks Pete, doesn't your engine bay pic show up just how well Geno has completed his?

@geoff-jowett I was thinking the same thing Geoff.
