Those are some great models, I like to visit model railway shows here in the UK to get ideas for dioramas and weathering, and to get scenic materials and tools from the trade stands. Oh, and just because I like model railways as well...

Looks great! I bet I'm speaking for a lot of people on here when I say my third build didn't turn out like that...

Looks like the '34 and and Chevy pick up are the old MPC Dukes of Hazzard 'Dukes Digger' and 'Cooter's Cruiser' Kits?

I have a small ball of Blu-tac in my 'kit'. Can be used to hold small parts for painting, either directly or to support the aforementioned toothpicks. Useful for holding parts when mocking up as well.

Having ploughed/plowed through the coupe kit I feel your pain... looks like you're knocking this one into shape though.

Brings back memories, had the 'Strohmobile' version years ago. Can't remember if it was one of the rare kits I actually finished back then... 🤣. I do remember that Corvette rear end though.

Nice choice. I did this one a while ago, don't remember any major issues, just a bit 'fiddly' with lots of separate parts for the front suspension IIRC.

And of course, besides all the 'technical' reasons, sometimes if you're slogging through a build a quick mock up gives your mojo a boost.

Fire up the 3D printer!

Ah, should have spotted that. I was thinking all the 'Fisher' heads used injection. Looks like I can shave away.

I know I said I wasn't going to get bogged down, but... I was going to remove the moulded in stock fuel pump on the block, but looking at this photo it seems it's still in place as a lift pump for the belt-driven injection pump?

Great set up! I like the storage/chill out area on the mezzanine.

Thanks Bill. I won't be getting too bogged down on this (Ha!), just want it to be 'something like' using the kit parts.

Thanks for all the nice comments folks. Chris, I see like me you painted the rear screen frame body colour, as per the box art. Looking at that ad now I think maybe it should be bare aluminium?

Sorry to (re)resurrect this thread, but I going to start on the AMT '51 Chevy next. Looking at the replies here, I'm thinking it would be correct to use the stock 6 terminal distributor cap and single coil?
