Your choice of subject matter is right up my alley Richard, as you know! Everything looks great! Keep up the good work! Steve

I still can't figure out which is better, the models or the photography! I think I'm doing something wrong! Steve

Very nice stuff Bruce! Steve

Great stuff Alan! I really like the color on the Olds! Steve

Nice stuff Michael! That pink Hudson still grabs me! Steve

Nice stuff Sam! I really like the '49 woody! The color is "so right", & I'm still in awe of the Revell '59 Ford! One kit that I've had several of in my stash for years but never felt confident enough to tackle. Nice stuff! Steve

Nice stuff Bruce! I especially like that '50 Olds! Steve

Thanks Guys! Niko, supposed to get down to -7 tonight & -15 tomorrow night with wind chills in the -30 degree range! I guess winter is here! Steve

Belated Christmas present from my wife!! Steve

Welcome Tony! As far as the trim on the '58 Plymouth goes, it should be chrome with aluminum bright work in the middle. How you achieve that is entirely up to you. What I used to do is foil the whole thing & then put a coat of "dull coat" over the center section to simulate the aluminum. Now I mask & spray the aluminum section with "Alclad Polished Aluminum" & then foil the outer trim. There are many ways to do it, these are just a couple of ideas. Good to have you! Good luck! Steve

Welcome David! Model building is not a race so it doesn't really matter how many you build. I know of guys in the hobby who are quite enthusiastic about it who haven't finished a kit in years, & others who can build one in a weekend! Personally, I try to finish one every month or so just to keep my interest. But every body has their own pace. Just follow that. Steve

Thanks everybody! I never really envisioned myself building one of these either, but I'm really glad I did! It turned out to be one of the most fun builds I've done in some time. & you know me, I like to build cars that are a little more unusual. Steve

I agree Niko. Only problem is, the sun finally came out here in Minnesota, but the temp is only 8 degrees with 6 inches of snow on the ground. It's supposed to get even colder over the coming days so it may be a while before I can get some outside shots. Steve

I was pretty lucky this year. I think I only have 2 or 3 that I started & didn't finish. Now if we're talking about unfinished builds I have in my stash, it could be more like 30 or 40! Steve

Welcome James! Good to have another Minnesotan around! Oh yah, you betcha!! Steve

Thanks guys! Steve

Thank you Bob! Steve

I'll still never understand how you can do these so quickly Al! Working on a kit right now & realizing, It takes me at least a good couple of hours just to do body prep! & that's on a good body! Oh well, Nice job!! Steve

Thanks Cliff! Steve

Thanks Dan! The Long Ram engine was a big reason why I started this one in the first place. I'm afraid the '65 Chrysler I'm building next will be a little more boring under the hood. Steve

I'm sure it'll look nice Ron, although, I gotta say, I've never been a 4 door fan. I think I'm going to use a set of caps from the '70 Ford police car kit, (They're very generic & I already have them) & a set of left over wheels from a '60 Ford kit. I already did a sort of "test fit" & I thought it looked pretty cool with the dog dish caps & some white wall tires. Gives it that sort of "sleeper" look. I almost bought a 1965 Chrysler Newport when I was still in high school. I'm almost positive that had dog dish caps but I don't recall for sure. I do remember it had a three on the tree, which is the main reason I didn't buy it. Steve

Yeah, they get ridiculous on ebay these days! Got pretty lucky with this one. Steve

Thank you every body! it was a fun year! Steve

Thank you Danno! Thanks Bob! Steve

Thanks Peter. I'll do my best! Steve
