As I enthused so much about it previously I thought I'd best put some piccies up. Here it is, lots of plastic mainly white & lots of filler mainly grey.     THC |

I'm going to need to follow this to see how you sort out the nose, for when I get to mine.
Nice start.

I've gone with the vertically aligned lights, I'm torn over the nostril raked nose right now. I'm debating using it as I rather like the look of the thing with only the egg box grills. The chrome inserts for the nostrils are awful. I have considered using the nose and dropping cut down egg box grills into them.
I'll finish the rear and make my mind up then.
Right now I'm struggling with the rear wheel spats which are a very dodgy fit and not my usual taste.
OH well more filler!

Just a small update before it goes away for a couple of weeks whilst I build to deadline. Got the chassis dummied up with the glazing and interior in place and the ride height set. Looks pretty slammed. Not sure about the rear wheel spats yet, still trying to visualise them properly. THC  |

Last night Lee was over at mine and we spent a fruitful couple of hours playing with various styline kits and websites. I'd been troubled with the route I wanted to take with the Galaxie and with Lee's help I think I've cracked it now. The three photos below show some of the process with the front end so far. Still undecided on the wedge front end.    I'm now working on removing all the trim from the body sides and planning out the rear wheel spats. Hope you like. THC |

Glad you like it.
I've just sussed the rear skirts and I've got a bit radical with them. More later.
Let us just say I've used considerably more of that filler.
