  3. Thanks for your great comments guys! You think right, Jack. Unfortunately, Gwyn Staley died in a crash in the convertible division 1958.
  4. The last one for 2024:
  5. This a fantastic diorama !! Thank you for posting. I´d like to see more of the dirttrack area, if possible?
  6. Both are great trucks !!! But the Ford blows me away 👍👍
  7. Hi Noel, i print some decals for my models on my inkjet printer. For example for my Gulf Mustang. I needed some white background for the #´s and Gulf decals, so i printed them on white decalpaper and two of each on clear decalpaper. Printersettings: papertype - other inkjetpapers glossy, printquality - optimal. Let them dry for at least 4 hours and sealed them with a varnish for oil- or acryl paintings. A acrylic clear coat spray will work as well. After overnight drying i cutted the decals on the white paper thru the outer black and blue circles. I think it´s nearly impossible to cut around the circles without leaving some white edges visible. To get a sharped edge of the outer circles of decals i put a final layer with on clear printed decals. On the Mustang roof i needed three layers of white decals to cover up the black dividing line between the blue and orange paint. I put always a coat of clear on my finished models. That´s the way i do decalwork, maybe this is helpful for you?
  8. Both are beautiful !! The Winston car is my favorite. Very nice??

    The Yard

    Everything has been told, from me just one word: PERFECT !!! (btw, however it found the way on it´s location , i recognised a Bundeswehr (german army) license plate on the trailer?)
  10. Very nice Cobra. Great paintjob ! Sehr schön ? ?
  11. This is one beautiful truck !! Very well done !!
  12. Charles, Your model looks cool, especially the modified Nascar chassis. The Bobby Hillin decals are a good choice.? Looking forward for the finished one. I did this model from the very same amt kit: I used the kit chassis with some modifications. Here is the whole thread: https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/188324-´66-buick-skylark-modified-stocker/ I consider the wheels to big as well, but look at the supercool photo of the modified posted by Johnny Canuck. It carries the big (kit) wheels actually?
  13. Very clean and cool Monte Carlo !! I like the white vinyl roof and the undercar weathering. Well done ??
  14. My one and only Highboy (yet).
  15. ... i didn´t show you yet. Thanks for looking ! Red Farmer´s 1956 modified sportsman Ford: a fictional car: 1967 Camaro: and a real fun build ?:
  16. Thank you for your comments, my friends !!??
  17. Very nice racer !!
  18. Very cool !!
  19. Nice collection. The 3100 is one of my favorite pickups.
  20. This is my Volvo Amazon Hillclimbracer made from the Revell 1/18th diecast model. The original Revell Volvo: and this is how it looks now: I built an inline six engine: the original Volvo engine bay with a B18 engine: added a transaxle gearbox, K&W coil over shocks, front- and rearstabilizers: the interior: original and racer:
  21. Very cool, both of them?
  22. You can´t go wrong with a Petty blue stockcar. I like the pre-STP era.
  23. Very nice models! My favorite is the ´63 Galaxie.
  24. Thank you so much for your interest and kind comments, guys!! Don, i used this AMT kit for this one, comes with the Thrift Master inline six. I changed one thing on the engine: i installed an oilfillercap to the valvecover instead of the oilfiller tube on the side of the engine.
