Nicely done, looking forward to seeing what next year brings.

Nice collection. You made great use of your available time.

Beautiful work Cliff.

Bill, both of those came out great. The threat of losing your eyesight is pretty darn scary, so we will give you a pass for this year. I will be sure to come up and introduce myself if we both happen to end up at the same MAMA meeting.

Nice work Jay. All that work on the '55 interior paid off, it looks great.

Great work Tulio. I like both versions of the Galaxie.

Very nice work. I really like the Mini.

Excellent work. Your model building skills and the way that you present them in the photographs, makes them very realistic.

Love that Fiat. They are one of the classic drag cars and they still look great on the track today.

That is a nice lineup of vehicles. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice Steve. I always look forward to seeing your work and appreciate the progress shots and descriptions of what you did to achieve those great results.

Very nice. Keep posting photos and I will keep looking at them.

Nice variety and they all look great.

Paul, I must say I am a little jealous. Quality AND Quantity. Doesn't get any better than that. Can't wait to see what you come up with in 2017.

Nice group of models and an excellent way to show them off.

They ran a '65 Coronet AWB, IIRC. I also think they briefly had a Challenger (but it may have never been raced, only tested). Edit: I have been looking on the internet to check my facts, but can't find anything. I really do seem to remember them having a Coronet. Maybe they rebadged it as a Belvedere for a single race or something. I seem to also remember them disguising a '70 Cuda as a '71 for a race or two.

Yes, it is reusable. You can leave it in the tub or you can run the used stuff through a paint strainer and put it back in the original container.

These are the models that I have finished in 2016 after returning back to the hobby after taking several decades off. I have more patience now and my model building skills continue to improve (slowly). I have learned an awful lot from this forum and am glad I found it. Have made many model building friends, even though I have met very few of them in person. Looking forward to 2107! AMT 1941 Plymouth Tamiya Mitsubishi GTO Tamiya Porsche 959 Monogram 1970 Superbird Monogram 1969 Dodge Super Bee AMT 1971 Dodge Charger - I was home sick and highly medicated when I built this one. Nothing fit well and I repainted the body 4 times after messing up the black in the door gills. Finally just left them white. This one will be displayed on a back shelf.

Didn't Revell make this already?

At least you have a decent chance of straightening out a warped chassis. Some parts are nearly impossible to fix.

Very nice room Hugh.

I really need to make it up to that toy show one of these months. I know a lot of folks don't like this thread, as they view it as showing off at times (when folks score great deals or show that rare kit they just got), but it is one of my favorite threads. I often get to see things that I didn't know existed and get new ideas for future projects.

My guess is there is a clause in most of the F1 contracts that doesn't let you retire and come back next year with a new team. I think that when you retire the team still owns the "rights" to you for an extended period of time. Mercedes should have someone ready to jump into that seat at any time. Why else would you have a driver development program.

I read the article earlier today. He set a goal reached it, now he will be on to other things (family related). He may not race F1 anymore, but I doubt he has given up totally on motorsports.

Taking this to the extreme.....If enough people stop buying kits because they are expensive, they will stop making them all together. I guess we could still get Pocher or other similarly high end models.
