  1. Super slick paint job, and a great build!
  2. HOLY COW! This has got to be one of the coolest and cleanest builds I've ever seen on here. NICE JOB!
  3. Nice job!
  4. One thing about building models of vintage vehicles, is to ALWAYS get the color right for the period...you nailed it perfectly! Very nice job my friend.
  5. LOL!...I LOVE IT! You absolutely nailed the look, and yet another build I swear I can actually hear while looking at the pics. Looks like all that one needs to take this thing down the track, are nerves of steel, a good racing helmet, and current immunization shot records. Great job!
  6. Nice job! I have a couple old Mopars on the work bench right now. Your build will inspire me to complete them, thanks!
  7. Nice job with excellent attention to detail! Between you and I, the original Batman would've been much cooler driving this!
  8. Holy smokes that's NICE! Removing emblems and other body details not only smooths out the body, but it allows your eyes to just take in the classic iconic lines of the car. And the paint application brings it all home for me. Love the stance, the reversed rake and rear squat, and the perfect wheel choice for the look. Great job!
  9. Beautiful work! The concept and execution are spot on. Great job!
  10. Very nice! Yet another build I missed, great job!
  11. I got a couple of these still sealed on the shelf. You may have inspired me to finally build one...great job!
  12. Wow! With my hectic schedule I might get 2 or 3 builds out a year! But you on the other hand are putting them out like an assembly line...nice job!
  13. Nice job Michelle! I don't know how I missed this build...nice!

    '66 Mustang

    Good looking build! I built this kit originally back in the mid 80's ('66 GT350H)
  15. Good job!
  16. Nice job on this one! I can literally HEAR the pictures!
  17. Very nice build! But hurry and get those windows up, lol!
  18. Great job on this one! And at least in this form....its actually affordable!
  19. Oh man! that's a good looking build! nice job.
  20. Wow!...nice work! thanks again for bringing cars not usually seen here in the states!
  21. Great looking build! May need to get one of these to put on my shelf.
  22. Good looking build!
  23. Hello again friends! This one has been on my work bench since early April, but I finally found the time to finish a few final details, complete it, and present it to you. Built fairly box stock with the addition of a few personal touches to make it unique. First off, I removed all the molded-on body emblems. Then, I wanted an authentic exterior color that would've been available from the factory, so in this case I chose "Butternut Yellow", over a black vinyl bucket seat interior. For visual appeal and to help the exterior color pop, I opted to add a factory available deluxe black vinyl top, along with the optionally available lower body side stripes. Next, photoetched emblems were placed on the body, and everything but the vinyl top was locked in place under a coat of clear. I wanted a little more visual interest, so I added the rear side quarter windows in their up positions as well. The engine was detailed with ignition wiring, fuel line and heater noses, throttle return spring, and various vacuum and crankcase ventilation hoses, along with an aftermarket Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold for that official "Cars-n-Coffee" custom home built high performance engine garage gearhead mechanic look. I wanted fresh out the restoration shop looks with the undercarriage and suspension components and added a set of American Racing "Torq Thrust D" wheels wrapped with Firestone "Wide Oval" rubber to complete the look, along with the use of Bare Metal foil and a little Molotow chrome pen to bring out detail. I also stripped and painted body color the filler panel between the lower grill and front bumper, a step that should be done for visual accuracy to the real car. I really enjoyed how this build turned out. Thanks again for stopping and taking a look, so until next time...happy modeling!
  24. Absolutely beautiful! A stunningly clean build with great attention to detail!....nice!!
  25. I have had a project on my workbench now for well over 3 years, and I'm about to get back on it soon. I'm working on a 1/16 scale stretched frame Peterbilt 359 with opening doors, sleeper, stretched hood, and some other small features. I have completely scratch built a Cummins Big Cam Twin Turbo inline 6 to replace the kit supplied 3408 Caterpillar V8. However, even though I'm sure I could scratch build the required intake system boot "elbows" at the air cleaners, turbo charger inlet, etc, I'd rather reach out to someone who may have the 3D printer who could do these for me. I could of course provide drawings and measurements as well for pieces I need. Anyone willing to do this please contact me with possible prices and a turn around estimate. To the moderators, If I'm posting this against the rules please let me know...I dont want to break any rules. Thanks.
