I scored a Revell 1/196 scale USS Constitution at the Goodwill store yesterday! $2.00! Box is a little beat up but it is 100% complete! I built this kit the year before I got married and my grandma threw it away after I moved out! So I get to build it again!

This one was started and then took an almost half a decade vacation in the closet! Tried to trade it off a long time ago but got no takers so I decided last year to finish it! Was going to use a donor chassis but ended up just adding a few bars to the cage and using wheels and tires from a monogram kit. Also decals from Dave Van!

Cool collection of early rail dragsters!

I saw this on another site a while back and I will say the same. It looks real!!! My wife walked in when I was looking at it and she asked "who's truck is that?" !!!

Showed this to a friend that retired from Roadway as a mechanic and he said it was spot one as to how those old Fords looked coming into the shop!

She looks like she just came in off the road!

Now that is one beautiful Mack Truck!

Saw this on Facebook Juergen ! Just recently started posting here and had missed seeing it here! Great job on scratch building the cab and great job on replicating a 1:1 truck!

Looks like it should! A real workhorse of a truck!

Hey, it's clean because it just came off the showroom floor! Nice build! Had a good friend used to moto cross race one of those! He later becme a police officer. He says that bike was more dangerous!

It's mine mine all mine!!!

During the show there were several colours mentioned. Purple was one and in another episode where Beaver and Gilbert get Lumpy arrested Wally tells them it was black but Lumpy painted it gray because he could only find gray fenders at the city dump! So it seems black, purple and gray are your choices!

The only generation of Firebird as far as I'm concerned! Beautiful car!

Turned cold again and I need to get some painting done!

Great save!

Nice job on the refinish! One of my favorite customs! I have a glue bomb original built kit that I picked up to use for parts and one of the old repops for a base to build it as original.

Really nice looking funny car!

Model Master Lacquer Grabber Green

He sure ruined a cool car!

I had chili for lunch! and it didn't try to kill me!!!

Finished this one a couple weeks ago.

The Chevy Dealer here calls them a car mortgage!

When I built this one when it first appeared I believe it was molded in yellow and I just polished it out. Wound up giving it away but kept the mini bike!LOL

I had a set of the wheels in 1:1 that were textured like that (blacked out spokes) back in the 70's but they were a Cragar lookalike wheel that I bought at K Mart! On my Mustang kit I recently finished I painted them with Testors Steel and it toned down the texture a lot and they look really good!
