I respectfully disagree with this concept. To me, this is saying that a fully customized 1/25 scale '58 Chevy is lumped in with an OOB(out-of-box) 1/25 scale '65 Mustang, 1/25 scale Peterbilt with trailer, 1/8 scale Jaguar XKE, and any other automobile, regardless of scale that doesn't fit a military theme. I'm assuming this would also include any full model that popped out of a 3D printer. This might seem a little more fair if all military subjects were entered into one category-Military. Submarines, battleships, tanks, half-tracks, Migs, Zeros, etc. would be a way to do it. And figures could be entered into whichever category they represent, such as a standing soldier, or bust of a soldier would go in the military category. Fantasy figures would go into Sci-Fi, Bo and Luke Duke figures would go into automotive... And are the automotive and military dioramas competing against one another? Just wondering out loud, as I actually live out of range of just about any model show or contest.

I tend to use primer for every piece in the box. Having worked in a number of automotive factory paint departments in my days as a pipefitter, I have to say that I've only ever seen gray primers and sealers applied to the bodies, no matter what color paint was to be applied. In our hobby, however, I have used black, red, white, dark gray and light gray primer, depending on how I wanted the color to stand out.

Very nice redo! Turned out well!

I go ahead and answer the easy ones. Helps make up for the hard ones I miss. Lol

Is okay. Several right answers on this one.

Well, I didn't make the honors list. Hahaha I thought I had sent in the right answer. Oh well, on to #652!

Put the K-Code in the "Gotta have it" category!! Back in the late 70s I had a '65 Caliente and my bro-in-law had a '64 Comet. Not sure if it was a K-Code, but this kit will get me close!

A/C in December and January, heat in July and August! Lol And as fast as these rides most likely traveled, you probably wouldn't have needed to sit your cup down, anyway! Hahaha This is a very well done replica of an early days automobile.

Great looking old Ford! Nice touch with the black Tennessee license plate, too!

If previous owners are allowed, back in the very early 80s I had a '69 Bonneville 4dr hardtop. DARK green, white interior and vinyl top. 428 under the hood. Boulevard cruiser!! Sadly, I have no pictures of that. I didn't keep it very long. It loved the taste of gasoline too much!!

Mrs. Bucky and I stopped by Cocina Real Mexican restaurant and split an order of fajitas. Sorry, no pics....they didn't last long enough for that!!

PM headed your way.

I have two in mind......early 70s 240Z and late 70s Mazda RX7. My choice for a recent offering is the Dodge Viper.

I received an email from Model Roundup stating that the 46-47 Chevy kits are due in July for $43.90 each.

I had a real one just like that! I think?

I discovered Jo-Han kits in 1966, at the ripe old age of 11! Been hooked on them ever since! Love the flatbox kits. I have a few of them in the stash.

That's a fantastic result!!!

That's gorgeous Buick! Well done!!

This is a great mild custom! Perfect shade of blue and nifty idea with the rhino liner in the bed. Very well done build.

Very well done! The little details really stand out on this build. I like how you did the t-tops.
