  1. You do very nice work. I too am a Corvette Guy. Built dozens of models and have owned a few 1:1s.

  2. Man, you're a prolific builder! I used to build 1 or 2 a week in my younger days. It's all I could afford to do and kits were relatively cheap back in those days. I sort of had an assembly line set up with 3 or 4 or models going at one time.
  3. Thanks for the pics. I'm a race fan, especially the series that run on road courses.
  4. I cruise through the Squares here at The Villages regularly, and there's usually some cool cars to see. I spotted this one parked down at Lake Sumter Square a couple weeks ago.
  5. Day-yum! Awesome work. You're out of my league.
  6. I've wrecked many models over the years. It got to be a contest with me and my late, younger brother to see who could make the most realistic-looking wreck. Here's one of my later attempts:
  7. I think I found it on Amazon. It was a couple years ago and my memory ain't what it used to be.
  8. I've done a couple of iterations on this theme. Planning on doing another one soon.
  9. Another build from years ago.... www.shamblesmodels.com
  10. I've never seen that model before, and I've been building kits since the late 50s. There was an old doctor that lived across the street when I was growing up. He always had Ramblers and I remember one he had that was very similar to this.
  11. Yall are correct, I mistakenly put a photo of a mustang interior. I'll delete that one and see if I can find a shot of the Monte interior.
  12. Impressive work! (I'm a Monte Carlo fan)
  13. Dang! I just THOUGHT I was a decent model builder! I built quite a few NASCAR kits back in the 90s, but your detailing is amazing. How much (if any) of the plumbing and wiring came with the kit?
  14. Thanks for the Widget Supply link. Which blade works best for cutting plastic? I've been using a cutoff wheel, but it generates a lot of heat even at low rpm.
  15. I used to find resin wheels like come in some model kits. You know, like if the wheel covers were off. I used a lot of them building wrecks, but can't find them any more. Any suggestions?
  16. I tried a few ships when I was a kid back in the 50s. I wasn't very good at it, and decided to stick with cars. Nice weathering you did on that one.
  17. Beautiful build. Love those old Novas! What kit was that?
  18. I don't have room for the big dioramas now, but here's a few shots of some I did a few years back. I'll get back into it in a couple of months when I get my model room set up. http://www.shamblesmodels.com/dioramas.html
  19. Nice work. I like that battle ship in the background too.
  20. Nice build, Michelle. Do you have any other's on the forum? I'm kinda new here.
  21. I built this Monogram kit decades ago. Alas, it was sold with the rest of my collection when I moved in 2017. I knew I'd have regrets, but had to downsize. Now, I'm starting over. Monogram made some nice kits, and was my favorite brand.
  22. Nice build. Is that kit still available? I've tried a lot of different cameras over the years. The new(er) iPhone camera blows them all away!
  23. Man, that's some nice work!
