    70 Torino gt

    Thanks guys, much appreciated.
  2. 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.
  3. I went on Amazon and typed 1/25 parking garage in the search, a couple of different styles are available.

    71 Duster

    Oh man! This thing is super cool, you really threw me with the slant 6, I wasn’t expecting that! Great build!
  5. That turned out beautifully, absolutely love the color , terrific looking build.
  6. 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 .
  7. 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………
  8. Sweet looking rig, well done.
  9. Thanks guys, I get so wrapped up in builds lately that I forget to do build threads , lol.
  10. Congrats Dutzie, spectacular build!
  11. Finished this up the other day, used the FLC dump kit so I could use the day cab, modified the stacks ,scratched up a headache rack for it as well, and the container trailer got modified a bit ( fenders and lights), was a nice build with no surprises. As usual, thanks for looking .
  12. Thanks Bill, you are the search master!
  13. Followed the build on this, gorgeous build.
  14. So, I have one of these on the bench, and I’m curious if there is room for a pre wired distributor behind the blower/ in front of the fire wall. Obviously, I’m in the early stages of this kit, so thought I’d see if anyone had built this kit and added wires. I did try a search, but wasn’t able to find what I was looking for, so if I missed an obvious topic on this, I apologize. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
  15. Any pics would be fantastic, thank you.
  16. Kind of an odd question, but, do you folks have pics of completed models in testors purplishious (sp?) and plum crazy purple? Curious as to how different they are in comparison, thanks in advance.

    1930 Packard

    I glued it in before paint, it was a pretty good positive fit.

    70 Torino gt

    Thanks for the kind words everyone. It’s a nice kit, and is the version with PE, if you have one, get it on the bench, you’ll like building it.

    Another recent completion, didn’t turn out as well as I would have liked, but it looks good on the shelf. Thanks for looking.
  22. Finished this one Christmas morning. Used tamiya pearl green, wheels are from the Lindberg 66 chevelle kit ( these hubcaps were actually an option on 67-69 Camaros ) and amt parts pack red line tires. Nice kit, builds up well. As always, thanks for looking.

    1930 Packard

    Finished this a few weeks ago, built one as a kid/teen, I think this one came out better, haha. Pretty nice kit for its age, and I think I’ll build a few more of these monogram classics kits, something a bit different from my normal muscle car and big rig projects . As always , thanks for looking.
  24. Beautiful color , that’s really going to come alive with the chrome added. Cragers should look good on it as well.
