Geno Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) Hello, I just joined, it looks like a great site. I've just gotten back into building after 20+ years. This is my first effort. I think it turned out alright, lol. I BMF'd the trim, shaved the door handles and added ones from a diecast model parts bin.

bbowser Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Great looking model Gene, welcome to the club. What part of O? I grew up in Dayton, but haven't lived there for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realgone58 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Looks great! Seperate door handles really made a difference on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geno Posted November 4, 2012 Author Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) I live in Sidney if you know where that is? It's about 35 miles north of Dayton. And thanks for the kind words guys, it is appreciated. Since it seems the 1:24 diecast are drying up I figured I'd get back into building models. That way I can add some that weren't made in diecast, like the Buick. It fits right in with my '70 GM diecast muscle cars. Here it is with a couple of my diecast models.
