Let's Post Our Snap Kits!

Couple snappers I rescued from the local toy show in the last few months. 

Revell '34 Ford: Disassembled, cleaned in soap and water, removed and realigned the headlight lenses, black-washed the grille, sanded the tire treads, painted the wheels Testor Steel, painted chrome front suspension semigloss black to kill the toylike look, resassembled, done! Total time probably under two hours.

AMT Dodge Copperhead: Disassembled, cleaned in soap and water, sanded tire treads, removed all molding lines from body, polished body with Trim nail sticks, some detail painting of lights and so forth, reassembled, done! Total time 4-6 hours, most of that in body prep and polishing.

Nice save Snake...1st time I've seen the Copperhead completed, looks like it's an nice kit.  Well done on both of them.

Really enjoyed looking through all the great builds in this thread. Just throwing up my only snap build, this 1/32 Don "Snake" Prudhomme Pepsi Challenger funny car, done several years ago. Detailed the motor about as much I could in that scale at my skill level (and hate the front wheels). Thanks for looking.
