Excellent looking set up!

Looks like we had the same shopping day, haha.

In todays mail,

Wow! Superb build so far !

Let’s not forget, if it was posted using a phone, auto correct probably changed it, my phone is like my wife, always thinks it knows what I want to say, lol.

So glad this came up, I was looking thru this kit just the other day and thinking of posting the same questions.

Coming along nice , love the u joint!

Made a bit more progress,

Little more progress today…..

Thanks, I’ve seen your topic, the color you chose is dynamite, and I like how you did the wheels, I’ll keep checking on your progress .

I went back to Amazon to find a link, unfortunately, it is listed as no longer available ( had to check my purchase history to find it again as it didn’t show up in the search of how I originally found it), maybe try eBay?

Thanks, I was checking yours out yesterday, that came out gorgeous.

Started this a week ago or so, have quite a bit done-ish, haha. Making good progress though, body is scale finishes GM rallye green, interior is a mix of scale finishes GM frost green and Tamiya ts-17 gloss aluminum. Waiting for decals and some detail parts to show up, but here are some pics of what I have going on. Also used AMT parts pack rear tires and decided to strip the wheels and paint them , hit them with testors pure gold, then fogged them with Tamiya ts-52 candy lime green, then dull coated them .

Oh man that’s sharp! Love it!

Fantastic barn find! Two questions for you , where did you source the flat hood and weld pro stars?

I recently got some paint from scale finishes, absolutely love it. I got lacquer base coat paints, pre thinned, just need to clear it afterwards ( I used Tamiya TS-13) , first time using air brush for a body and I got these results….the Merc is color shift and the nova is GM rally green

Thanks guys, much appreciated.

No plans/resolutions as to model building, when the mood strikes I build, when it doesn’t I may just look at stuff, or buy more stuff, or just not even go in the room. My day job has time limits and always going wide open, so I try to keep my hobby limit free.

I went on Amazon and typed 1/25 parking garage in the search, a couple of different styles are available.

Oh man! This thing is super cool, you really threw me with the slant 6, I wasn’t expecting that! Great build!

That turned out beautifully, absolutely love the color , terrific looking build.

Someone else recently had posted they got a parking garage display case, it intrigued me, so I looked into it, and got myself one, it showed up today, neat little display piece with lights .

I’m about 10 years in since I started building again, I have just over 100 built models, and around 800 in the stash, and somehow manage to keep buying kits, but, in my defense (like I need to justify it to this crowd, haha), there is so much cool stuff coming back out, or completely new tooling coming out. Luckily, I restrict myself cars/trucks /big rigs, with the occasional air craft purchase , and a couple of farm tractors. Have a little bit of aftermarket parts, couple rig cabs and a few car bodies, wheels and tires, paint is also out of control, between rattle cans, small bottles and now pre thinned paint for air brushing………

Sweet looking rig, well done.

Thanks guys, I get so wrapped up in builds lately that I forget to do build threads , lol.
