Very, very nice. This one is on my to do list. I hope I can do as well as you have with it.

Holy cow! How nice is that?!?!

Gorgeous!!

So many nice details!

I am getting my feet wet, (pun intended ). I am mainly interested in 1:350 plastic battleships. Here is the best site I have found - http://www.modelwarships.com/index1.html. There is a ship load of information there.....(see what I did there ).

Thanks guys! It didn't turn out too bad for a 24 hour build.

That is very cool Ray! I really like the shot of the two together.

This is just too cool! What a neat idea and great job on bringing it to life!

What he said! Truly a beautiful model.

Hahaha....yeah, I tried to block out that painful memory James. Gee thanks, now it is back to rehab for me....

Hey Guys, I just posted pics of my build from the 6th annual 24 hour build. It is the Shaker Trike. Here is the link - http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=84230&hl=

And now the finished product. I made an alternator bracket and ran plug wires. I also added engine and tranny dipstick tubes. I believe the engine dipstick handle on the 1:1 was a sword handle.

With the 8th annual 24 hour build just a short time away I thought now would be a good time to share this with all of you. This was done two years ago at the 6th annual 24 hour build. Pictures of that 24 hour build can be seen at Gary Kulchock's Fotki album. I had this kit as a kid and of course I did not do the best job building it. I still have most of the kit parts in a baggie. I was able to find an original sealed kit and snatched it up. The kit I used for the 24 hour build was the re-pop of this kit. I knew I wanted to add a little bit of detail to this kit so I made a few things and added them after the 24 hour build. I had trouble with the decals and decided to leave them off. Please note that the paint is straight out of a Tamiya rattle can and has not been touched. I was very pleased with it to say the least! The kit. I made the key and key ring from scratch. It took a couple of attempts. The decals were from the spares box. The following pic is of the pieces that will make the brake peddle and bracket.

That is one very nice Camaro!

Cheating....me? Creative, yea, that's it....creative. I was creative. I love white race cars!!

Glad to see this being discussed and welcome aboard Jantrix! I am one of the original 5 builders that started out at Gary Kulchock's house. (I know we are not the "original" ones that came up with the idea, but we are the original group for the current version.) Anyhow, here we are on our 8th year. I have had a blast all 7 previous years. I've managed to stay awake every year! . I always try to complete my build in the 24 hour period and I usually come very close. I think the main thing is just to have fun. The five of us have been long time friends and look forward to this event every year. I hope anyone who is thinking about joining in does. Those of you who have committed, I hope you have a great time. We originally just posted to Gary's Fotki site but now it has spilled over to FB. Anyone and everyone is invited to follow along and comment.

I think she looks great for just your third model. You did a nice job on it.

You should be fine Mike. I have ordered from them with no problems at all. I remember the turn around time was very good.

I have to agree with you......that is one wicked looking Cobra. Soooo nice!

That is one super clean build! Very nice.

Very nice! You don't see these very often. It is good to see one completed.

I would love to see your display area. If this is just 2013, I can't imagine how many you have built in the past .

Curt, you already know I am a big fan of your work. Is it any wonder?

Wow!! Not a bad one in the bunch! That Mustang.....

Very nice Tom! You really have an knack for getting "the right look" on all of your models. This one is no exception.
