I just completed this box stock. I live in Indianapolis, been modeling like most of all you, since I could remember. Recently I really have been focusing on build and paint quality, adding detail as my skills get better. Here is a recent effort I just completed. Your comments are welcome! This 1965 car will be my tow car for another 65 Malibu Wagon I have that I am stripping down and rebuilding into a drag car. I also am going to use the 1976 MPC Caprice reissue kit trailer as well. So I am going to have a period type set up with all the fixins', like tools, ramps etc, more posts to come. I am taking a break from my Malibu's and starting on a 1971 Thunderbird right now that I am finalizing a paint scheme on.

Thank You!

nice work, I really like wagons! what brand of paint did you use and the color? Thanks,Steve

[migace]

After years of frustration, I really only use dupli color. I will post the color code tonight. I like dupli color becuase not only does it lay great but Dupli uses GM, Ford, Chrysler, and some foreign car's paint codes. The color was a metallic blue aqua of some sort. the interior was shot with a lighter blue from dupli as well. Detail painting I use model master or taymia water based acrylics. And of course my BMF skills are getting better as well.

Now that is a really nice looking wagon ! Your BMF is definitely A + .

Looks great, you should be very proud of it.

A great looking wagon. I like the everyday, dog dish hubcap look.

[crazyjim]

Nice build.

[Bluemiles22]

Nice job looks great! My next 2 or 3 builds are gonna be completely box stock as well. Just to concentrate on the quality of the build first and not worry about adding all the aftermarket stuff.

[bbowser]

Excellent job. We need more longroofs, especially base models. I really like it a lot!

[midnightprowler]

Very nice wagon. I love the color and the dog dishes!

[cobraman]

Thank You Thank You All! I am going to picture up more that I have. I did a 62 Catalina I think you all will like, and when I finish the Drag car I will post it!
