RSchnell Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Here's some photos of my builds from 2021. Several are restorations of glue bombs, most are box stock. As you can see I don't stick to one genre! Kits from MPC, Revell, Hasegawa, Tamiya, AMT, IMC, Monogram & Moebius are shown. Sorry for the photo quality, my camera battery was dying as I did these. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Nice models. They all look great. What its the Delivery/Panel body in the 3rd pic that looks like it's a rootbeer color. Looks like a really slick paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveracer Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Excellent 2021! Nice variety, you may be an inspiration to others, myself included... What kit is the black F150, is that the Firestone kit? I want that one! Looks great with those wheels.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are the wheels that came in the kit, I just painted the spokes dark grey to match the truck better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sprayed it with some Model Master Enamel that I picked up on clearance at Hobby Lobby. I haven't cut & buffed it yet, I usually spray 2-3 bodies and let them cure for a couple weeks before color sanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan barton Posted December 26, 2021 Share Posted December 26, 2021 The Lincoln is the stand-out for me but even though I am a hot rodder, I can really appreciate all those showroom stock Fords! Cheers Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Alan I agree on the Lincoln. That's a great model, though personally, I didn't see anything I did not like. Your output for 2021 is more than I've built in the last 10 years!

I don't have much time to sit down & work at the bench-usually 5-7 hours a week, so I've worked out an assembly line of sorts. Usually have 3 or 4 builds going-while paint is drying on one, I'll jump on one I painted the night before. Prewar stuff is my favorite and I've worked on 1:1 prewar cars for 40+ years so things go together pretty quick for me on those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm down to a couple of Model A's but have had an eclectic group in the past. '32 Plymouth, '27 Whippet, Model T's, etc. I also owned a small resto shop restoring pre 1965 cars. I'm still halfway looking for a 1931-32 Lincoln 7 passenger sedan if one showed up for the right price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89AKurt Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 Awesome you completed so many! I like the German cars, the 300SLR is a historic car, is it a decent kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a really nice kit, the only problem I had is the engine sits up a tad too high which doesn't let the hood close all that way- of course I discovered this too late! This is the kit. Revell reboxed this one later on, mine was the 90s Monogram boxing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
