   Renwal '66 Mercer Cobra Exner Concept

   Hi guys, haven't visited the MCM board in quite some time. Had builder's block since March 2016 right up through after the holidays. I'm back into it now, and feels just as good as ever! Here's another one of the Renwal Revival Exner Concepts I finished up. I used gold anodizing from Spaz-Stix to replicate the brass, shot directly over the chrome, and gold foil for the fender trim.  Rest of it is out of the box. There is an engine in there, but very crude, so I rather display it as a curbside. Only kit I'm lacking to complete my Renwal Revival collection is the Jordan.

   Moebius 65 Plymouth Satellite for Belvedere

   I have a fresh, unopened '65 Satellite available. I really want the Moebius '65 Plymouth Belvedere coupe instead.

   Yes, but very vague detail, generic engine. I built it as a curbside for this reason.

   Renwal '66 Pierce Arrow 4 door Exner concept

   Just restored this one from a builtup. Missing one spare tire and the separate side window frames are warped, but all in all it was salvageable. Not too often do you see one of these builtup. I am happy to have the box as well. Now to find the Jordan and the Bugatti.

   '50 Chevy 3100 pickup

   Just a quick detail of a promo. Mariner blue polished plastic, interior is two tone grey, added white wall tires and corrected the nose in the air front end these had, detailed the "wooden" bed floor, and detailed the trim and window weatherstripping.

    LOL...........it's pretty bad. Only thing I do actually like is the overhang of the front fenders. Sort of Imperial "esque".  I love Exner's designs, but when he got to some of these, it's easy to see why Chrysler canned his ass.

    Renwal '66 Duesenburg concept

    Restored this one from a glue bomb. Still have to find a better windshield frame and the correct rear bumper. Ugly son of a gun, but necessary if trying to complete a set of these models.

    Looks great Jim. I will be starting mine soon, in Calypso Green, all stock. My son Chris is going to build his in Calypso too, although his will be a drag car. Should be pretty neat.
