  1. This is an absolutely amazing and lovely build, no question about it. And I love Cragars and your build will look awesome on them too, so don't take this as any criticism or like if I was telling you about how to do as a builder. But, given that this has a Beetle body, with its origins in the 1930s, with a Cord nose (about as close as you got to "the car of the future - today" in the 30s, and I guess that I don't have to mention why), and is powered by aircraft technology from the pre-jet era, and you also mention that you're aiming for wastelandish looks, I can't stop thinking that this has very much of a dieselpunk vibe. Considering that, I would have thought about something older if this was my build, maybe some tall and skinny wires or something like that, just to complete the looks. It's not like you need the traction of wide wheels and slicks when you don't have driven wheels anyway. Narrow wheels will also have a positive impact on air- and rolling resistance. But if you like the Cragars, go for the Cragars, I am not bashing them either and it is your build and you are the one that should be satisfied. It will look ace either way!
  2. That engine is a piece of art!
  3. Unfortunately, he had thrown away the old magazines, but it was worth a try anyway.....
  4. Finished the interior. Being an old japanese car, I thought some mild victory pipes wouldn't look too out of place.
  5. Go for the Advans.
  6. Nice work, you wouldn't expect this color on a Lotus but it actually works great.
  7. Very many great looking builds!
  8. I would have gone nuts just by having to do all that decalwork, lol. Impressive results for 2019 indeed.
  9. Nice work.
  10. Looks great, nice use of your imagination. I didn't know that MPC had a Stutz, is it 1:25 scale too?
  11. 90s style done right, great looking replica.
  12. I also liked the Stealth more than I liked the 3000 GT. Your build looks great, very good looking paintjob.
  13. Real eyecandy indeed.
  14. Don't think I have ever seen one built up, didn't know it existed from AMT either. Lookin' good anyway.
  15. Are the Revell kit available both as an early and a late Mk1 or have you done your own customwork? Nice builds anyway!
  16. Don't know why, but I have always had a soft spot for the LTD II. Nice build.
  17. Nice conversion, I must say that I have had my thoughts many times about how this would look, appearantly it looks great.
  18. Very clean build, love the dark blue, it gives more of a sinister look than the pastels often seen on pro street cars.
  19. I can recommend it, it's really a joy to work with.
  20. Definitively some great work involved here, I am not really an expert when it comes to this style of cars but at least it looks right and convincing to me.
  21. Boxcar Willie did a great version.
  22. Gällivare, huh? Not very far from me then! Nice to know there is more builders in Norrbotten too.
  23. The thing that worries me is BMW "reliability" (or lack thereof) in a Toyota..... ? But in small scale, who cares?
