doorsovdoon Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 I've built about thirty kits over the last year and only about ten of those really stand out to me, but my crown jewel builds are these- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenGuthmiller Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 If I had to pick just one, It would no doubt be my rarest and most valuable kit, as well as one of my favorite models in my collection. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransAmMike Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Loving this forum "CAR SHOW". All great looking builds. I'll have to pull out a few! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve H Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 8 hours ago, 89AKurt said: I'll pick only one. The history behind it is more interesting. After attending a GSL show, I camped near Goblin Valley State Park, hiked through a slot canyon, saw one rock that is the perfect scale version of "slick rock", found some similar ones, packed it home, almost forgot about it. When I found it, used up a diamond hacksaw blade cutting the rock in half. The kit is fairly common, not a street rod, sorry. It has won several first place awards. Love your builds Kurt. Nice work on the diorama, awesome that you used some real stone. Ironically, I did a mountain bike trip to Moab/Slick rock about 20 years ago. I brought home an interesting coloured rock as a momento, it is still part of my landscape. Always cool when there is a back story of some sort with a build, thanks for sharing.

Bills72sj Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Crown Jewel hmmm, I have a couple of older builds that are special but my skillset then is not what it is now. I am still nowhere near some of you master builders but my results have improved. So, I submit my first diorama, my latest big rig and my best (to date) paint job.

Gramps46 Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I guess my "crown jewel" would have to be the Cunningham C4 I carved for Paul Fisher. Unfortunately the master was destroyed in the California wild fires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

89AKurt Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Have to show #2 choice, the only street rod (with an engine) ever built, done in the early 1990s. Got an award for Paintjob Most Likely to Cause Globull Warming, and some other awards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hay Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 (edited) My House of Kolor Candy Pagan Gold 1/8 scale Big Deuce. The tires on this build are from my dad's original issue kit that he built as a kid in the early 60's.

1959scudetto Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 Some outrageous and exceptional models here... my real crown jewels are still witing to be built (some Fisher resin race cars etc.) - from my about 100 American cars I sold off more than 70 in the last year and only kept a few that are rare or that I like very much: here are 3 of them: 1. JoHan Chrysler Turbine car 2. amt 1961 T-Bird (original) - got this one from a pen-pal in the U.S. in 1985 as a built-up, unpainted glue-bomb - spraypainted and reassembled again - I will restore this one day using some parts of amt's 62 T-Bird (original wheels and tires are still there! 3. JoHan 1968 Imperial promo (green) -from the same guy as above - painted it in white and mint green - interior mostly untouched (could bring a lot of money today if I had it left in original condition!)
