  1. Craig, Mike, Jim and deuces wild โ€“ thank you
  2. Very well done, looks like it just left a dealership. Not an easy kit to build and yours looks great.
  3. James, Carl, Noah, John, Bob and 1hobby1- thank you for the compliments
  4. Excellent work, very realistic rust and dirt and crud.
  5. Very well done lead sled, good choice of colors for the two tone paint scheme.
  6. Garry, Glen, Mark, Andy, Chris, Jeff, David, Harry, Mario, Yeah Nah, Can-Con, and ncbuckey67, many thanks for all the positive feedback and kind words.
  7. That is very cool. Incredible period of car designs and concepts in those days. Your builds looks great and the engine compartment is very realistic.
  8. I knew something was up with the labeling, having seen mentions online for different years and models. Thanks for the correct information.
  9. Yes it was but if memory serves, the intake system in the kit was different, having a tunnel ram type setup. I lost all my notes for my builds when the hard drive they were on went south. So I want to say I changed the intake setup, or used a Hemi from a different kit.
  10. Michelle, EMRE, Larry, David, Mathias, David, Dave Darby, Al, THarrison351 and o-man, thanks to all of you for the compliments and kind words.
  11. This is one of those relatively easy kits to build. I'm not real sure exactly what year Duster it's supposed to represent, although the kit I bought called it a 1975. It seems to have some differences though, from an actual 1975 model vehicle. Anyway, one of my favorite parts of our hobby is painting. I really enjoy painting bodies. Single colors, two tones, three tones, and I like to use a wide variety of paints. Often times, I'll prep and paint the body and all the parts, then tuck the kit way for assembly at a later time. Then move on to the next paint project. This kit was painted a number of years ago in Testors enamel in what's called either Basin Street Blue, Petty Blue, Grabber Blue, etc. Take your pic. It's a nice color and the wheels and tires are by Pegasus. The side decal actually came from a sheet included with the ancient AMT/MPC 1967 GTO. It fit without modification. The garage scene/diorama I had packed away and I discovered it again recently. It's made of Gatorboard, and was printed/designed by a now defunct company called Scale Models By Chris. It's a very cool item that assembles easily. I painted and detailed the inside with tool boxes/carts and a bunch of other stuff I acquired years ago. The wall posters came from various magazines and online images. I'm also messing around with the size of my photos to see what works best. Thanks for looking.
  12. Really nice build. It looks awesome in the red color, nice details as well.
  13. Very nice build, great color, nice details. This is really a great kit from Revell.
  14. Very cool ride. I like that color a lot, very nicely done.
