So is this van a G20 or G30? I've heard it was a 72 model and they didn't make G30s then if I understand correctly. And if it's a G20 is it a 6 lug?

Beautiful build. Excellent scratch building.

modelbuilderswh.com offers some of his stuff. Seems like most of it is out of stock. But I highly recommend that website to buy stuff.

Oh yeah! Haven’t started yet, don’t want to ruin the spirit of the build. Just wanted to make sure I actually had a van in the stash. I do not. So I won’t be purchasing one until the start date. More than excited. Waiting is the hardest part.

I am more than excited for this years "vannonball" as it will be my first community build ever. Already have the ideas rolling in my head and the stash is being raided as we speak.

Oh boy! I'll be in this one for sure. Can't wait to start.

Been watching this thread since I stumbled on it. Truly awesome stuff. All the builds are super cool and well done. Picking my favorite was not easy. I hope maybe I can do the 2020 Cannonball community build. I know that they are doing a P2P build now, I am watching that one closely as well. Amazing work to all.

Went to the 10th Annual DeKalb, IL toy show. Was not expecting to find this there! Got it for $45 still sealed. Wasn't ever planning on getting this kit due to the crazy eBay prices. Also saw a lot of friends.

Thank you! It will be on the bench this weekend. Sean, you read that correct! A nice piece and only a little clean-up needed. Hey Gator thanks for the kind words! I agree, for a low budget movie it is simply great. Hope to have a picture update here soon!

Every time I try to build a speed shop diorama it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Just like with 1:1, I always run out of room. Keep up the good work!

This is truly amazing.

Thank you, Nathan! I hope to get some work on it soon.

Thank you! Thank you for the background on the IMC, now Lindberg kit. I've been fiddling with it some and it will do the job fine with some work like you said. No fun in a kit that puts itself together. I also appreciate the tips for the build, with the windshield and drip rail. I'll add that to my list of notes. As for everyone else who has been watching the thread and build, I have been really busy with my Master's program so not much time to build. This weekend should allow me some time, even if it is just doing more sanding on the tanker itself. I appreciate everyones support here.

Picked up a Revell Bass Buster set today. Heavy on the bass, as it only has the boat and trailer. My box is beat up but not bad. Picture is from the internet. Anyone know a good place to find instructions for this kit? Came without the instructions.

I figured they were the same, I still might buy one for some extra goodies. Had to get it for the box art though!

Today I got this very nice Monogram Datsun pickup. I spotted it at a local club meeting and had to have it. The Miller decals caught my eye first. The box is nice, but inside everything is great. No yellowed decals, they look new. And the plastic is a crisp white still.

Nicely done! A good restoration.

I'm glad you got them. I knew you would love the quality. Which resin parts did you get?

Firstly, thank you for all the kind words. This build was super fun. Thank you all. @Fat Brian The engine is from Clearly Scale but I purchased it through model builders warehouse and received it in about a week. I have heard to many stories of wait times and no contact issues and decided to not buy direct. Hope this helps and I hope you get your products soon, they are great quality. @Ben These are the kit wheels, and I have the same box art as the one you pictured, not sure why they would be so different. I do not remember them having separate hubs or anything, and I bought this kit sealed.. I do believe mine actually say BBS on them. I will have to look and get back to you.

This is the AMT Porsche 935 race car. A basic kit, but the decals were very tricky. I'll need to re-do it someday since there are some wrinkles on it. I also have the Tamiya 1/12 version that I need to work on soon.

Thank you, Ryan!

Thank you for the kind words. Usually when I see old Mopars they are beat, haha! Thanks, Patrick! Where I live I rarely see them in good condition. I had a lot of fun building the Cuda.

This is Revell's '56 ford kit. I enjoyed the challenge this presented. I need to go back and repaint the engine, it is hideous. The engine is from Clearly Scale and is really nice. It is a DOHC "monstercharged" 351. Paint is Tamiya X-13 Metallic blue for the body, Tamiya X-2 for the white. Chrome trim is done thanks to Molotow. Thank you for looking.

Just a couple Chevys I have completed. The Chevelle is the AMT 1969 SS396 and I love this kit. This is probably the first model kit that I really really liked. I enjoy all of them, but this one was a lot of fun. The other one is the AMT 68 Camaro. You'll notice the putty work seems a little off, that is on purpose. I wanted to simulate the bondo or fiberglass work that has been sitting for years on an old worn out drag car. This kit was also a lot of fun. Mismatched fenders, some rust, a piece of wire holding on the side pipe (which is also broken). The Camaro needs some finishing up, I think I got side-tracked and began work on another kit... Thanks for looking.

This is my first Under Glass post here to the forum. I have other posts in the Big Rigs section as I am currently building the semi from "Duel". I started building just over a year ago when I turned 21. It is safe to say that I am hooked. In this post I have chosen to display my Mopar stuff first. Hope you all enjoy them. I know there are several small things wrong with the cars, I'll fix them someday! First is my Hemi Cuda that i built because i realized i did not have a single Mopar in my fleet. this one was the Revell kit and it went together very nice, except for the hood. But I've had others tell me that it does not fit too well on it anyways. Didn't let it bother me too much since I was doing this one as a junker anyways. I somehow lost the mirror on the drivers side and also the front bumper. Not sure where they ended up. Maybe someone took them for their restoration, haha. The wing is also missing from the car but that was on purpose. I drilled two little holes and weathered them to make it look like someone had snatched it long ago. The other car is my Vanishing Point build. This was the AMT version with the two-piece body. I tried my best to remove the body lines but I see now that they are still somewhat visible. I added drip rails to the roof since when I was sanding off the vinyl roof they came off with it. This kit was frustrating to put together and I am happy that it is done.
