Hi, apparently someone screwed up and added me to your list of new members, without so much as an interview or a background check.

But now that I've slipped through the front door, I can tell you all about myself. I've been building model cars off and on since the mid 1950's. I especially like American cars from the thirties through the sixties. Almost all my builds are box stock or very mild customs.

Here's the new Model King Belvedere reissue that I just finished. It's painted with legend lime from the Colorful New Member. I loved the look of Bill Coulter's turquoise '64 Fury, so I tried to copy his model by using the wheels from Revell's '69 Charger, and giving it a moderate rake. The red one I built a few months ago, and it's Tamiya clear red over silver leaf.

Beautiful as always; the subtle rake, wheel choice and color really give it character.

Some models you look at, some models you inspect, and Bluemoose's models always inspire lengthy gazing!

Glad to see you here.

As always, nice work! That's a great color for a Mopar.
