Cool kit. It looks very nice.

Looking good.

Wow! The Potemkin turned out great. I'm impressed David. And I'm with you on your comment about those loving "those classic lines" of the original Constitution design. Later Star Trek ships are nice, but they just don't have the clean, classic beauty of Matt Jeffery's originals.

Quick build. No paint. Despite it being a snap kit. I used a little glue. Nice looking body. Terrible interior. Boring chassis. Yet, I like it.

Here's a quick look. Before and after of Lindberg's old 1/32 Pontiac Grand Am. A snap kit of only fair detail. The body and exterior trim are okay. The chassis and especially the interior leave a lot to be desired. Despite being a snap kit, I did use glue. But, no paint. This is what you get straight out of the box.

Went to a slot car swap meet this morning and picked up a few good things. One is a very nice 1967 Chrysler 300 promo. I got it at very good price. It's missing a hood ornament (with Modelhaus gone, anybody have any ideas on where I might be able to get a replacement?), and some slight but easy to fix damage to the "A" pillar and vent wing. Beyond that the chrome is pretty good. And she needs a little cleaning. Besides that, I picked up two Lindberg 1/32 snap kits, at a really good price. Both are unopened. Not the greatest kits in the world, but where else are you going find a round headlamp Monte of that vintage? Or a Grand Am. I'm happy to have them.

Nice builds. Fun and kool.

Baja Bandito and Ghost of the Red Baron. Thinks are looking good!

Looks good.

Very sharp. I like it.

Wow! Very nice.

Fun to see one built. Looks good.

Ditto.

Sharp looking pony.

I like it! Great job.

Good looking Cobra.

Here's another attempt by the factory of a Pontiac el Camino done in 1978. Based on the '78 Grand Am.

Cool stuff! I hope this really works as good as shown in both videos. I have two early 70's model that I've been planning on sending the old (now stripped) chrome parts out for replating. I may have to try this first.

I believe this is the one that I saw.

At the Buick Nationals back in 2003 in Flint, MI, someone showed up with an el Camino they had converted into a 1970 GSX pickup. In Saturn Yellow and with proper 1970 Buick Sportwagon taillights. It looked really cool.

Too bad. I would love the Sealab kit. And I don't know why?

A pretty car/truck (?). I've always this one. It seems to me that I read someplace that Pontiac used the vehicle around their main assembly plant in Pontiac, MI for awhile.

True, the AMT version is my favorite '40 Ford coupe. But I think the Lindberg kit is no where near as bad as a lot people say. I also, after some modifications, liked how my MPC coupe had turned out. I have not built my Revell coupe yet. But, looking at it, I'm sure it will build just fine. The Revell '40 may have more accurate details over the AMT coupe. But, I find it no where near as fun a kit as the old AMT.

Nice job. I'm impressed.

Yea. HPI guy pointed that one out in his video review of the kit on YouTube. Despite be fairly toy like and in an odd scale (not 1/25), I like looks of this kit. I forgot how impressed I was as a kid with Chrysler boats and motors. At the time, I couldn't understand why GM and Ford didn't offer boats too. Especially Ford. After all these guys offered tractors and serval other products under the Ford label. I am glad Round 2 simplified this kit, taking away some of the toy aspects of this kit. I really don't need or want the electric motor the kit had. Just for one simple spinning propeller? It's not worth the effort for that feature to me.
