Did you snatch em up from Hobby Lobby when they were on clearance? I missed em, didn't get there in time and they were all gone...

I know it wasn't a direct fit and it didn't really completely fit after I made the adjustments... I think I sanded the fenders out just slightly to make it work... I love the mpc kit but for some reason I just gave up on this one... I'm gonna get a brand new one with the aluminum stacks and bare still rallys The coolest things about the newer re-release. Cool screen name too BTW. I love Trosley! This was inspired by the Duo... My son 15 built it he started reading K&B in my old Car Craft subscription...

Awesome! Cool choice! Thanks for rolling with us! Another black paint job to ad to the list. lol Would it protect vampires if it had the top up? I'd imagine the car is triple black...

Wow! This is outstanding! To see it change colors in different lights is impressive. I actually think the "without clear" finish would be cool on say a 65-66 Chevy shop truck or even something exotic... Looks Awesome with the clear. I'm seriously debating how I'm gonna vote, it's gonna be tough!

You're right... I sold off some of my stalled projects last year to a friend ( Big feeling of seller's remorse) A fairly good builder, he's been slowly getting those kits built... One thing he can't seen to get right is the way the cars sit. I'm not gonna be critical because if I wanted them look the way I think is "right", then I should've just finished them myself...???Lol! Here's an example... I painted, detailed, built the engine, and interior but just lost interest. He claims there was no glass??? ? So he made his own from some protective tinted lenses from the eye doctor...?? Anyways, stance is important. ?

Oh yeah, I'll print them for ya! I also have the Camaro decals ready to go in an envelope...

Cool! ya had me fooled... I did this with an old Monogram mustang last month also molded in yellow... Quick, simple, and very rewarding... This looks like it was fun build. I built this kit years ago as part of a body shop diorama, complete with primer and taped up windows. This is a great kit to "experiment" with... simple yet effective... ? Lol

So I was thinking if one member has multiple projects would that count as separate entries? ? I dug these three out while cleaning up my modeling room. Believe it or not, I started the Camaro over a year ago.?

These two photos are my favorite... I need a lesson or two on photography from you for sure! That stance is spot on for the car!

That is by far the best Daisy's Jeep example that I've ever seen! Awesome modeling skills there man.

It looks good, my problem with black, mostly with Police cars, white and black seem to be the hardest to panel paint... (The reason I wasn't happy with the 57.) If I build another one I'm gonna use panel line separation wash. Also thin linen gloves keep smudges and smears off the car while you're in final assembly stages (just a tip for you), especially on black... it shows everything...

The last time I painted black I wasn't at all satisfied but with time running out I didn't have time to start over... I took it on to the show anyway and it placed first in the show's theme class. I was startled... It was planning on a repaint but afterwards I just said fugedaboudit lol...

Look at you pulling off a slick black paint job... I've gotta do it to the Camaro I'm dreading it too. probably gonna take me a few times to get it right...

This one is the Revell 78 Corvette anniversary car it's complete just has the chassis glued together it was a bag kit. Still working on John's decals too BTW but my time in the computer room is limited now since my wife is now working from home full time.

I picked up this one at the swapmeet last month... I heard someone say it was an old IMC VW ??? but I've never seen the kit or the box. This one is the only one I've seen this complete. It's a multi-piece body but seems pretty simple... I don't know what my plan is for it yet... I like it better than the Revell kit. I've tried to build the Revell kit before but never liked the the outcome. The Polar Lights VW is better than the Revell kit I had a Herbie PL it has the opening hood and I think it's the same kit as the Harley Quinn version currently out... Anyways, does anyone have information or knowledge about this kit?

Is this the old 1/24th kit molded in red with the opened canvas sun roof?

Hey, that's some good engineering and scratch building... #15 Lane Meyer's 67 Camaro.... I have secured the Revell 67 Camaro from a very loyal member here on the fourm...(Thanks to Robyn)... I opened the kit and took inventory of all the parts and for whatever reason I thought the first issue was a small block... Never the less the 69 Nova 350 will work out great or an LS might be the ticket... Anyways, I'm really late gettin goin but I'll get rollin soon. Here is a "dumped box" photo...

l'm loving this project! I've seen this kit built as the Ace Parker Car before but never at this level of detail... it's gonna look so correct to the real car. I talked to Rich Sephton at a reunion years ago and he said they scraped cender cement blocks down the side of the car to represent contact damage. I'm thinking the story I heard that it was used in another movie before returning to the Georgia set to film episode 4 for the show. There are alot of Duke's urban legends so who knows? but it's so cool to see it being built here... I've always wanted to recreate the car in it's glory before it got raced and wreaked.

Well I got some decals printed and some other progress done, engine is built, unless I decide to go with an LS... interior is done... a small detail that is on the Boxart left to add.... If I decide too go full on box art. I have have changed my mind on a few things like the plate chassis... Way too basic for this build... and the decals didn't come out as clear when I added the pink to them. When ever I get to the pearly gates I think I'm gonna ask St. Peter "How many Kids actually used those decals when this kit got built?" Lol I'd love to see Round 2 repop this kit with corrected rear fenders and those Awesome decals as an option. I would use them for sure! Anyways, I hanging in there but I'm really close to switching Lanes on the build...

Thanks bud, I didn't bother painting this chassis I didn't want to waste the paint since I'm not using it. It's done to an extent until I build the new frame. But there is some more work to do... I'm gonna keep stabbing at it til it's finished. I'm thinking about starting with the blazer frame? my model room is a disaster too so I've got to get some order before I continue. Round 7? Wow! That's successful, I'm in but I'll let you know with what kit as I have so many...

With that said, I took some time out and printed pink decals for my Boxart truck... Although there is alot more still to do, I feel like I'm heading in the right direction now. My updates in the last 8 hours are Interior, engine, printing and applying decals, BMF work (almost done) and a quick build up to see how it's gonna look. It's not finished yet but no reason to rush it now. It's too high in the front and too low in the back... exactly how it sits OOB (metal axel's and a plate chassis).. It never bothered me before but now I have to fix it. I've had this kit for over 10 years so I want to be happy with the end result. I'm gonna build a separate frame with more detail and a better ride hight, along with some other changes too. Thanks to everyone for keeping this Awesome thread going. I'm hoping that the saga continues. ?

You go Snake!!! You need to get the approval as much as we all do! If not for you... these builds would still be in the box.? Good on ya for starting all this...?

I definitely have more time than normal, I also had home projects that were "expected" of me to get done. My daughter being home full time has changed the dynamic for sure. Her school has been sending emails with worksheets and school work, I feel like I'm a Handyman, Painter, landscaper, and a teacher. I didn't know all this Social distancing was gonna have me working this much. I used to think my stalled projects was me not focusing enough to get finished and or losing interest or maybe getting distracted by another kit. Now the term " life gets in the way" has a personal meaning. I can always find time for the hobby but now I see how much time life takes up during these times. I really feel like most modelers are professionals at hibernating anyways. I have no problem with it I just have to juggle my priorities, modeling is at the least top five for sure.? The Vette is Beautiful!

Yeah... I just checked in on the workbench progress and was Amazed at how fast that came together and the quality of the craftsmanship... Just so lifelike and quality work and such fast pace! I'm in Awe!

Wow! ? that looks exactly like the real truck!
