Some nice clean builds Lee!

What did you use for the chrome on the VW? Also, can you share your tip on how you chromed up the wipers? I built Tamiya's 1/48 beetle about 7 years ago, but couldn't get the blades nicely masked to paint, I felt it let down my build. Tips would be appreciated.

Might only be 3, but they are nice looking builds.  I like the finish on the second one, is that a mini. Sorry, cars are not my strong point.

Thanks for sharing.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Thanks! The wipers are chrome plated in the kit, for the trim I used Bare Metal Foil. Yes, the third one is a mini cooper I turned into a El Camino style vehicle. The side trim on the VW is just the kit decals. I got lazy!

Love the paint jobs Lee.   Never could get that kind of a finish.  That's why all my cars are flat grey or black and my planes are acrylic flat camo.  Keep up the good work.
