  1. Thanks for the feedback. Nice kit besides warped parts and misleading intstructions.
  2. Thanks. I can try another time and what is suggested.
  3. Had to test my paint booth so this Oldsmobile from AMT became a quick build. Decent kit,but lot`s of annoying things i`m not going to go into as for now. Did some research on diffrent olds clubs and tried to make it as stock. I did not like the wheels and tires that came with this kit so it got redlines and rallye wheels,besides that it`s pretty much box stock. Here are some pictures and thanks for looking.
  4. Yes there is a limit,i think it`s 8 or 10 pictures. The problem is i cant preview,so editing becomes a pita.
  5. Sorry if this is mentioned somewhere,i could not find it when i try search. How many number of pictures can i post in each post? Let`s say i was to present under glass or on the workbench? Thanks. Tommy
  6. X2 The ones i buy from are reasonable to start out with,and those who have crazy prices dont get they`re stuff sold. Also i somtimes bid on junk parts lots. Once i bid on a 59 Bonneville junker with a station wagon roof,i thought it was it but when i recive it there where three zip-lock bags,one with 3 sets of wheels and tires for the new Pontiac Ventura,one bag had 3 Revell parts pack hemi engines + two sets of decent cast 64 Bonneville bumpers,unplated. The last bag had lots of bundles of wire for detail and what looks like a vintage custom upholsry kit.
  7. Thanks for sharing guys. I love the 54,somthing about it compared to the 53 and 55 that just makes it look more slim and elegant.
  8. X2 Very nice detail.
  9. These are all amazing Anyone got the 54 Cadillac Coupe DeVille? Or maby the convertible,never seen them in any good pictures close ups.
  10. Very nice Bel Air,the mild customs touches makes it stand out.
  11. Very nice Porsche,i like the little accessories you have for it.
  12. Really nice Fairline,also like the Chevelle. Great job.
  13. Looks great! Plan on do one looking "stock".
  14. This is pretty cool. Nicely done.
  15. Very nice,love these old barges as police cars.
  16. Beautiful car and model. Excellent work.
  17. I like the 30s cars,it`s like they have this pressence that say "move or you get the hood ornament in your face". Pedestrian safety at it`s best
  18. Thanks John. Have to point out it`s just a rough mock up so far.
  19. That is exaxtly how i did it,took along the top door/fender trim from the Bel Air. Also as mentioned i used the glass as a jig when adapting the pillars to the body. Sure as i go along this might change a mm here and there,so if the glass will fit when its time to install is another story
  20. 61 was a great year,agree. Might be crazy but thinking of go this route with the 61 Oldsmobile also,except the chassis detail. Not sure i was around when you posted yours,but i seen it on Fotki and it`s stunning. It looks a lot like the one presented in the original brochure of 61 full size Buick. What yours might lack in chassis detail it makes up for everywhere else.
  21. That sure is a good buy if you got it at a decent price. This particular kit is made of some sort of styrene that is very durable and flexible,so you dont have to sit with your shoulders upon your ears afraid somthing will snap like older and more brittle kits. The reason i did not cut more then right under the the chrome trim that run from A to C-pillar is i did not want any complications using the orignal Buick interior tub. Yes also the Buick has this highten profile in the middle on the wiper panel that follow the hood. Thanks. Hopefully Modelhaus open so i can get some vacum glass,looks much more realistic.
  22. Once when i was around 14 or so,won second place and the price was the 70 AAR Cuda from Revell. Have to point out there where only 20 models or so on the table lol.
  23. That thing is beautiful. I sooo want the 48 Buick Roadmaster Sedanette but it`s getting very expensive. Very similar paint scheme on it too.
  24. These are really cool,thanks for sharing.
