Thanks Tom!!

Thanks a lot for dropping in and for the comments fellas.

Oh my GOSH!! That is one mighty fine looking build you've got there Pete!! Lotsa details!!!

Thanks you guys! It's the Hasegawa 1/48 offering Bob. It's supposed to be the best on the market. It is in terms of detail but it's a bear to put together and get to look right.

You may have only created one this last year but buddy...…..it's plainly obvious (at least through the set of eyes I'm lookin' through) that you put it ALL into this build. Grand Slam Bill!!! Truly awesome work!!

WOW!!!! Crankin' 'em out and in style at that. Very nice year end collection!!!

I hear ya Bill. Since I ventured over to the auto side I find that the more we build, the more we seem to find (and work around) all the different kit manufacturers "quirks" to have a better outcome.

That...……….is an impressive show Les!!

Drop dead gorgeous build Bill. It's all there, paint, details....hell everything!! Glad you dropped the stance some and you're right. For some reason Revell auto kits always seem to build up a smidgen too high in stance.

Thanks Kurt. They are...but it was part of an entire decal set from Aero Master. I had gotten away from building aircraft altogether because of this bird and my painting but have been working on the latter and am feeling the bug again. Thanks for dropping in Les. I finished that in December of 18 buddy.

I don't move particularly fast with my builds but I did manage to get three finished this year. The Arado 234 took 3 years to build . It was one of the most difficult builds that I've completed to date. Completed in March---AMT C1500 454SS: Completed in July--Arado 234 "Blitz": Completed a few days ago--General Lee....ish Charger:

That's one sweet lookin' ride. Lotsa time tied up in paint on this lil' guy.

Bravo Martin! Love the weathered effects man!!

All that work looks great but I REALLY like that Charger!!! That right there is a true beauty!!

Thank you fellas for the nice comments.

I forgot about these awesome little cars. I'll be following this thread.

You do a lot of beautiful work all in a short period of time. I do good to crank out 2 or 3 in a whole year.

I've always liked older Mustangs in this color. Good lookin' car.

Good lookin' T-Bird. Nice to see something not seen built a lot.

Good bunch of ponies you've got there.

I really like the minion garage!! LOLOL!!! Good stuff Keith! I like that Barracuda as well. My first car was a 66 Barracuda and I've been looking for a stock version of the kit. Can't seem to find one for a reasonable price. May have to see about a resin offering......

Thank you guys stopping in and for your very kind comments. You know.....I never thought of that. That is a GREAT idea!! Thanks for that.

Yezzir….low and aggressive. Now that's the ticket right there!!

This one's now in the Under Glass section folks. I'd like to thank all of you who either dropped in, followed along, gave input and/ or encouraged me along the way. You guys are all truly awesome.

When I started this build I had no intention of building the General Lee as everyone knows it. I am a Charger fan long before I am a "Dukes" fan but still like the look of the General Lee so I hope I don't hurt any GL purists out there looking on. I built one as a kid and have always wanted to have a second shot at it. Only this time I got to add my own touches to it. I started with the stance. I didn't like the high stance of the Lee at all so I set out lowering a bit all the way around. I also went with wider wheels from the AMT Eckler Corvette kit and used a set of tires(which I turned into Bf G's by way of decals ) from the Revell Challenger T/A kit so I could have a more aggressive look. Secondly, if I had one of these it only makes sense to have opening doors....hence the door handles. Third, I love the looks of the 69 Charger R/T grille.....a true testament to the aggressive looking front ends of the time so I opted to show the R/T grille unobstructed by not installing the grille guard up front. Just couldn't do it guys. Lastly, the GL is NOT an R/T which I simply could not have. If I'm going to build a Charger then it's gonna be an R/T and it's gonna have a 440 and not a 383. You're also not going to find a roll bar or CB radio inside. I love the looks of a factory interior in any car and have always liked the Charger interiors in particular so I couldn't "spoil" any of that. The kit is from Revell. Paint is Testors "Go-Mango" lacquer with Testors "Wet Look" clear. Decals are from the MPC GL kit which was really the only visible part that I took from that kit. The front and rear license plate decals came from Thomas Logan at Speedway Decals. The OOB exhaust tips sucked so I replaced them with aluminum rod cut to length as well as bevel cut and polished. All scrips and details are from the Model Car Garage PE set for the Revell kit. Anyways here she is. I'd like to thank everyone who followed along, peeked in, and for those who commented or had input along the way. Great site....great people.
