Very clean and nicely detailed. I "get it" about the paint but that is close to a factory color. Well done, and keep them coming.

that is nice! I like the wheel choice and it has that sleeper look to it.

That is not a bad looking build, not sure why you are down on it? The only flaws I see is the stripe on the right rear quarter, which really isn't that bad, and the lack of a shifter, unless you swapped in a Chrysler push button trans!

It's okay to advertise your products here, just don't sell anything

What year are you trying to replicate, that can make a difference.

It might be time to learn how to cast resin tires. I don't remember seeing those in resin, although I did not check Ma's Resins list, but he would be the first place I would think might have these. You might want to check with The Modelhaus, they may have something close or may be willing to consider casting them.

X2 for me! I used to DVR some old TV shows on Antenna TV from the late 60's/early 70's and compared to today, there were hardly ANY commercials back then! I watch the Power Block as I find it interesting as well as the Automotive shows on SpeedTV on early Saturdays (Gearz, Hot Rod TV,). There is a show on here locally that is sponsored by AutoGeek that focuses on automotive detailing and waxing, kinda neat to see how far car waxes and the techniques for polishing a paint job have come!

I just saw on the Tower Hobbies website where the 77 GMC Pickup kit with the snow plow is scheduled for June release! Gotta get my pre-order in for a case of those kits!

Come up with that D series pickup (with 4x4 chassis & driveline) and I will buy several! While I appreciate the big rig pieces, I really dig the D series and Travelall subjects more!

That is just funny to me! Thanks for the chuckle Skip!

Very nice build Al and glad I could help! Looking at that car is like taking a trip back 35 years ago, and now I feel old!

I wish I had known about this show, Columbia is about 80 minutes away and I would have loved to check this out. Thanks for posting the pictures!

Nice and clean like all of your builds Felix, I am liking this Nova! I have a hugger orange one to finish up, makes me wish I had considered making it a Z like yours!

Camaro or Mustang, maybe primered or mismatched body panel colors, nothing too shiny, slightly weathered trailer and beat up van and you would have the typical weekend warrior set up.

Just getting back into it, huh? Those are outstanding for being away from the hobby for awhile. Your girlfriend's son will hopefully pay attention to you when you are building and learn how to detail kits! Can't wait to see the Bronco done and whatever else you have planned!

Corvair Jim would probably gladly take that kit off your hands Scorpius. It could also make for some good trade material if someone is looking for one of those. Nice score, I need to spend some time hitting the flea markets around here.

Once again Art to the rescue with a history lesson! Thanks for filling us in with the story Art, I always enjoy learning more about this hobby and your stories and insight. Sad to think that those slot car kits ended up at the bottom of Lake Michigan.

Well, at 60 real and 5 model, I'd say Harry went easy on us or he just flat out fooled us! Can't wait to see what the verdict is. C'mon Harry, it is 8 o'clock on the East Coast, inquiring minds want to know!

Dr. Cranky will LOVE all the rust! Nice pix and that must have taken some time to create, I could not imagine the amount of time and supplies to do that work. I am in awe of the work!

Those are very nice, I really like that flatbed dually and rollback. Is the rollback a scratchbuild or is it the old Modelhaus resin kit? Thanks for sharing.

That is coming along very nicely and much better than I could do at 14! Take your time and it will be a model you can be proud of. Like Jantrix mentioned, make sure your photos are top notch as that is how the winners are judged.

The AMT Bronco is still readily available from multiple sources. Late last year I was able to find them on sale at RPP Hobby for $10-12 each, IIRC. I picked up several with the F150 conversion in mind. Let us know when this kit might be ready, I would love to build a diorama with a white Bronco being chased by several LAPD squads. I just checked the RPP site, they have the Bronco for $13.50, a pretty good deal!

Welcome back and nice detailing on that Nova! I like how you blended the two together so easily it looks like a factory job! Get those others posted up, we need to see your progress.

Thanks for sharing Marco, those are some nice pics! I really like the first two- your 66 Impala and the 72 442. Saw a lot of nice models and one of these days I am going to have to make the trip to this show!

What kit did the wheels come from? If you could let us know what kit, we could probably help you out.
