I hafta agree with all the post comments listed above, but I'd certainly add that those wood-grain pieces inside on the console and dash really bring that interior to life, and the chassis looks pretty-darn good, too!
-
Does that particular '57 Corvette kit come with a one-piece chassis or does it have separate suspension pieces?
-
Really nice! There's a lot to like about this build! What color is that Green paint used on the engine block and suspension pieces?
-
A fantastic looking survivor! There's a lot to like about this Vette build! i'd like to see more of that tow-car, too, and the trailer as well! Those both look to be exceptionally-well done, too! More pics please!
-
Wow! This post will be saved as a build "...to inspire exceptional, clean and well-detailed building and the results that can be achieved." I'll look at this one often to motivate myself to hopefully, one day, be able to build a 1/25 model like this!
-
Beautiful build! I have always loved this kit and the way it builds-up! You really did an outstanding job building this one pretty-much factory-stock, (like those engine mods, that great looking hood ornament is not quite factory-stock, but sure looks great)!
-
Those are all outstanding looking builds! I'd sure like to have as productive of a month as you had! One question on the Stingray; was it difficult to install the luggage rack on the trunklid? I think that luggage rack is an outstanding detail-piece, but glueing one onto the trucklid straight and in the correctly-center-positioned seems like a difficult and intimidating thing to do in my mind; was it a challenge or pretty easy to install?
-
A beautiful build! All of the details look spot-on! Nice work!
-
Love this build! Sure would like to see some new kits of this classic race car subject-matter!
-
Can anyone help me identify which 1/24 or 1/25 kit this side-draft Weber carbs chrome piece came in? It is molded all as one-piece... the first pic below shows the top-side; the second pic shows the underside. Thanks for the help. https://photos.app.goo.gl/cuw6qCpaCdvKZKDu2 https://photos.app.goo.gl/7ncC13VvIEw7tUzW2

A beautiful, beautiful build! My best friend's mother drove one of these when I was growing up, but her's was Medium Blue with a Blue interior. I don't know how many Little League baseball games I went to in the back seat of that Ford, but it was alot. Your build brought back some good memories for me! I sure wish this vintage kit could find its way onto the reissue list, but I doubt that will ever happen!
-
Great build; a creative use of parts that come=together very, very well! Where did you source those wheels from?

AMT 32 Ford truck

Excellent build! Sure would like to see some more pics, too! Where did you source the wheels you used on this build? -
Simply love this build! One of the best of this vintage kit that I have ever seen, and I pay alot of attention to '70 Mercury Cyclones! Boy, if only they could find the molds for this kit and fill 'em up with molten styrene again!
-
Dang... I like this build alot! I remember these cars well; one of the cutest girls in my high school drove one and every guy wanted to "visit those wild rainbow stripes" in the back seat! LOL I think you're build is excellent, especially for that challenging MPC kit! Looks great!

Purple Pond Surprise!

Been there... done that! Fortunately my spill ended up on the garage floor so clean up wasn't as critical! -
Two excellent builds! Would like to see some engine pics, too! I can tell the early-1990's build is probably from the 1/25 Revell kit; is the other more-recent one from a 1/24 kit? (it seems so much larger overall than the 1990 build).
-
Yep; that's one that I've been waiting a few decades in the hope that it'd happen!
-
Beautiful build! Your paint and decal work look flawless; everything looks right-on-the-money! It amazes me how these C7 Corvettes look, (to my eye), like they have an outrageously-tall roof-line when viewed from above, but the roof drops-down so drastically when viewed from the side. Guess those leaning-inward door & side windows create that illusion; to me the car looks so much better when viewed from that side-view!
-
Another beautifil build! How did you so cleanly adhere those clear, rear glass pods?
-
WOW X 3 !!!

AMT Falcon Stocker .
'70 Grande replied to Silver Foxx's topic in WIP: Stock Cars (NASCAR, Super Stock, Late Model, etc.)
Really like this build; everything about it looks top-notch! Sure would like to see a pic or two of the bottom to see how that old Nascar chassis "fits" underneath the great-loooking body. Also; did you have to fill-in and reduce the size of the huge wheel openings on that vintage body? -
