  1. Absolutely beautiful build, Daniel! That is a jaw-dropper!
  2. Thanks guys! Really happy I had a set of those slicks on hand.
  3. That sure does look the part, you really nailed it. Killer build!
  4. Saw this '79 F150 out behind a local Ford dealership today. And, while way back in September, this van who's owner has a good sense of humor.
  5. I managed to drag this one across the finish line last night. Overall pretty happy with it even though it was an uphill battle at times. Even with a coat of decal bonder, a few of the decals (Slixx) split up in a couple areas and required patching them up the best I could and some paint touch-up. Speaking of paint, the blue is Tamiya TS-15. I threw on a set of Competition Resins slicks and lowered the rear axle for a more accurate stance. Engine wise I just opened up the header ends and wired up a VCG Resins magneto. The bug catcher and valve covers are sprayed with Revell's Chrome, pretty happy with the outcome. Not my best work but still like it nonetheless and glad to add it to the collection. Thanks for looking and any comments/questions.
  6. Oh man do I like this build! Stance is excellent and looks like she's ready to rip down the track. Gassers are so cool, and yes, please build more in the future.
  7. Nice save Tim! The oversized wheels/tires look great. Great job.
  8. That's a classy looking Mustang, fetching color combo. I like the exhaust being routed through the rear valance, nice little mod there. Sharp build, Mike.
  9. Sharp work as always John. Those steelies really make this one stand out, well, the color too lol.
  10. That's one rockin' GTX, Lewis. Beautiful paint & foil work. Love that hood, too. Thanks for sharing this, as I have a Hellcat engine from Iceman as well with plans on dropping it into this kit. Gives me some inspiration.
  11. That's a beautiful Caddy, very nice work. Clean work on the miles of chrome.
  12. Many thanks again guys!
  13. Thanks for posting this, mine's been calling my name from the stash. Your added pieces really are a nice touch to this simple kit. Well done!
  14. That is a clean build and has held up over time really well. Engine detailing and chrome work look really good. I built one awhile back in the same colors.
  15. That's one tidy Merc David, well done. Thanks for the information on the paint, I've seen that brand around and have been curious about it. Looks like it lays down nice.
  16. Thanks so much guys, this has become one of my favorite builds in my collection.
  17. ^^^What they all said^^^ Sharp build Scott!
  18. Great work on that GSX John! Those are my favorite GM musclecars. Got one in the stash to build in white to go with the yellow one I built....someday LOL!
  19. Excellent build and those colors work so well together on that beautiful body. Nice job on widening the track width and centering the tires up, had to do that on mine as well.
  20. Here's my first completion of the new year. Chose Hemi Orange for the color, it and the clearcoat are Model Master, polished out. Going into the build I wanted it to resemble the period "day two" look as they say. So, I raised up the rear a bit, slapped on some 5 slot mags and beefier tires (both from Iceman Collections) and different exhaust tips made from aluminum tubing. I also tried, for the first time on a model, giving it a bit of a mild weathered appearance underneath and in the engine bay using Tamiya weathering kits. Really pleased with my first attempt at it and will add this to some future builds as well. My only real gripe with the finished build is that during mock-ups I failed to realize the firewall was a bit wide and pushed the front fenders out a little. Live and learn I guess, at least when it's on all fours you don't notice it. Thanks for looking and any comments/questions.
  21. You had a great year of building, very realistic finishes on all of them. I really like the Allison Daytona and the Woody.
  22. Those Dart inner fenders made a huge improvement! Despite the decal problems, I really like the look of the white ones over that gold. Sharp build of a not so great kit. 👍
  23. Great work Gil, those are most impressive! I can only imagine the time involved in that ship.
  24. Thanks Jeremy. I have thought about it, and may possibly happen.
