My build of AMT's '60s vintage, Trophy Series '57 with Lancer caps from a 1960 AMT 3 in 1 annual kit. Love this old kit in spite of its flaws and inaccuracies!

Here it is with some Photoshop work to correct some of the inaccuracies and add some Sam Hollingsworth Nomad-style flames and panel outlines....

Heres a couple of quick pics of what I have on display. Many more are waiting to be finished. Mix of plastic & die-cast.

Blue coupe is latest from couple of years ago, red sedan is earliest from 25 + years ago ! Sadly my original Pepper Shaker build was destroyed when moving house years back. A Pepper Shaker 2 is on the build list :)

Finishing my 1;1 57 meant kits went on back burner for a while.

So many absolutely awesome '57s here !!

I'm especially in love with the builds from Steve L , Daddy Fink , Darbo and John Goschke !

A friend of mine gifted me with the Revell Black Widow - 210 Business Coupe kit a few years ago , and I've been thinking of building a 50s / 60s Kustom or Lowrider out of it ...
