Put the last peice of foil on it Friday night in the hotel room in Moncton to be ready for the show on Saturday at the Atlantic Nationals.

R+R resin kit with 19" Pegasus "T"s,,windshield and headlights from the AMT '58 Chevy. ,,,And LOADS of body work! LOL

Not perfect by a long shot but I hope you'll be kind and remember this is my first resin build,, I think the next one will be better.

Excellent job for your first resin Steve! You coulda fooled us! :wink:

That came out very clean and slick! It just goes to show that with a little time and effort (and patience) those R&R kits can be made to look very nice.

I have a '58 Olds Fiesta wagon coming from him that I won on eModelcars.com..............I'm looking forward to diggin' into that one in the near future!

Steve,

You really worked that "Milberry Magic" on that R&R long roof Poncho. Great colors, great stance, and the "blonde" wood really sets it off!!!

Great job!!! :lol:

Steve, that is a beautiful cruiser! The color, wood trim, stance...all perfect! The 1:1 version would be a hit at the beach and the drive-in. You can be proud of this build, for sure.

Fantastic model. Hope you bring this one to NNL EAST next year.
Maybe Irv can teach me how to woodgrain.

Steve,

For the first time I have to say I like something that is from the 50's, green, and woody! Three things I don't usually look forward to. But yours works beautifully! It is so nice I may try that color in the future.
And oh yes, I love the wheels :)

Thanks,
