  1. This is turning out to be one nice build so far Justin!!! I'll be tuning into this one.
  2. All of these turned-out great Steve!! I'm going to have to get around to building a 64 Bel Air for my dad. The 63 and 64 that you posted up here look awesome.
  3. Very unique and interesting build that turned out to be a great looking model. I never even knew these cars existed.
  4. I can't get over that paint finish!! Looks like glass!!
  5. That is going to be a great color to go with this one JR!! I'm with Bill Newcomer on decanting paint and shooting through an airbrush. For starters, it gives me alot more control and secondly, the spitting paint is no longer an issue. Coming along nicely on this.
  6. Well gang, it was NOT a very productive year for me numerically. Usually I pop out 3, maybe 4 but this year had two holy grail builds that I put a lot of effort into. One was a repop of a car that I used to drive when I was younger in fastback form. I owned three 67 Mustang Coupes and always wanted a fastback, so I built one as I would've built it had I owned one. My AMT '67 Mustang GT Fastback: The real car: On one of my visits back home earlier this year, I re-visited the first two cars that served me well in the early 90's. Car #1 is in the background and Car #2 in the foreground.; The second build for the year was what was going to be a first car for me as a kid but dad quickly said "Not a chance kid!" when he saw the 350-4speed combo in the car. I've always loved the lines of these early 2nd generation Camaros. The AMT 1970-1/2 Camaro Z/28 And then there's the ongoing build that I've had out on the bench for the last 4 months or so. I'm now about 3/4 of the way through the build.
  7. That right there was a good year in modeling for you Claude!! Fantastic work!!
  8. That's a wide range of subjects right there Tony!!! That Duster and Grand Prix caught my eye. Your quality in builds sure made up for the quantity of builds. Amazing work brother.
  9. VERY nice collection for the year Rodney. All beautiful rides bud.
  10. I'll be tagging along for this ride Jeremy. I've rebuilt a couple of my older builds in recent years and I still have two untouched builds, one of which is in my display case and looks like the day I built it 36 years ago. Like Carl, I kept them in the old Jo-Han display cases for 3 decades. I think I still have a couple of those left that aren't all yellowed. lol Looking forward to seeing what you do here.
  11. Cool paint scheme Bob! Love the overall look of this car as well brother.
  12. I'll definitely be watching this one JR!!
  13. Thanks fellas!! Been a while since I was in here but it's been a busy month. I've spent the last WEEK cleaning the body up. It took some fancy footwork but I got the body whipped into shape and primed. Before: and after: Before: and after: Before: aaaaaaaaand after:
  14. I'm really liking the stance/ overall look that this one's got Bruce.
  15. Man that chassis looks GREAT!!! Awesome use of the colors & different shades/ lusters to bring out the details.
  16. Thanks Bob. Things are getting a little better as of late. Progress on this bro?
  17. Un................frickin' BELIEVABLE!! Such great work on this bird and absolutely love the photography. You really brought this model to life with that display mount from Factory Direct Models. Your efforts are to be truly commended JP.
  18. Man you are straight up killin' this thing Steve!! Your attention to detail is second to NONE bro.
  19. Thanks Jeremy!! 'Preciate it Carl!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand the interior is now finished!!! The rough edges between the borders of the two tone seats is ALOT less noticeable in real life and is more the camera picking these up. I decided to go with decals from the Foose FD-100 kit for the light gray portion of the seats which resulted in a cleaner demarkation line than I could've done with paint. Masking on these irregular surfaces to achieve the same effect would've been dang near impossible. This interior was almost as difficult as the '67 Mustang interior that I just got through with a few months ago. LOTS of masking and LOTS of different shades of black with the details being picked out. Now..............moving on to the car body. Completed Interior Shots:
  20. I'm like Codi in regrd to learning from your builds but totally get the busy schedule as well. Congratulations on the win John.
  21. BTW....progress is coming along nicely. That Lawman 55 Gasser looks bad A$$!! I may have to source the cals & wheels and build that one. WOW
  22. All the time. Alot of times, I'll be building along and the build will just take off in a whole new direction.
  23. Thanks Mike!! Thanks Alan! No sir, it's the Tamiya D-9 kit; however, I did use the Eduard landing gear struts, cowl gun cover/ access panel, port side wing cannon access cover and sliding canopy section in order to liven the build up somewhat. The Tamiya landing gear struts were WAY too short, so I used the longer Eduard struts to correct that.
  24. I'll do it Bob. Haven't been in contact with anybody as of late. Work is trying to kill me I think. lol
  25. Thanks Mike. Actually, it's what I feel the most comfortable with and is what I was building prior to my first auto model since my teenage years 8 years ago. Just got through with this one this last year. Franz Stigler's Me-262 from JV44- "White 3" Then there's my Fw190 D-9 "Black 10" from III Gruppe in the closing months of the war:
