Yes it is my kit. I list on ebay every second Sunday.

Q. When I sell my work, does the buyer have the right to copy it or take and sell photos or prints of it? A. No. Selling a painting, sculpture, or other artwork is a sale of the object only. The sale does not convey copyrights, unless you specifically agree to do that. This means the person who buys your work has no right to make copies of your work or even to adapt it into another form. For example, the buyer of a painting cannot photograph your work or make posters of it and sell the photos or the posters. The buyer of a sculpture cannot copy it to make molded versions of the sculpture, whether they be simulations or plastic, miniaturized versions of the sculpture. Only you as owner and author of the copyrights can do that. You do not need a contract with the buyers to retain these rights. And if you find that one of your buyers has reproduced or adapted your work without your permission, you are entitled to sue him or her for copyright infringement. Anastasia P.

She also is an adjunct professor of copyright and patent law at Seton Hall University School of Law in Newark, NJ.

They will be sold on ebay Mike. I have not yet set a price point.

I now see the rear tiara molding needs some straightening.

Better pics taken outside

If I could title this project, it would be "Measure Once, Cut Twice, Three or Four Times" lol. Getting closer. Tim, look over the curve of the roof and tell me what you think. Any other comments or critiques are welcome. I want this Bird dead on. Thanks.

More new progress photos coming later today.

Thanks. Yes they will be available late spring/ early summer.

Built from one of Juha Ario's beautiful resin kits. Added vinyl top.

Have re positioned the head light covers .020 higher on the front fascia. Mucho de goodo

Hi Tim, not sure what "the flat spot" is, please let me know and I'll try to answer. There is still work to do along the top of the windshield opening. Yes this is the master for a resin kit. I do not have a date or a price yet. This was created using the JoHan 72 Torino as a starting point. It will come with a one piece resin chassis and a sealed hood. I wanted to use the Revell 76 Torino, but the wheelbase was incorrect and the body did not have enough undercut. Upon seeing the enlarged photos, I noticed the head light doors were set too low. I have removed them and starting over.

First prime coat in a while. The windshield opening still needs work and the bumper is a little wonky but am pleased with the progress.

Been picking away at this since my last post. Getting the nose right with the headlight doors has been a challenge. Close to adding the moldings. More pics soon in primer.

Here's a few of mine.

Thank you very much! I forgot to mention, the Dynasty Green metallic paint came from MCW ( Model Car World) and it is a perfect match.

Thanks very much! Yes the one pictured is Dynasty Green met. A 63 Ford could be used as a donor but you would have to come up with a 64 front bumper and taillights. AMT 64 Galaxie XL's are cheap and plentiful on ebay, And I believe it is being reissued soon.

Here's the first two builds off my new resin kit. The wheel covers are 3D printed. This kit will build using the AMT 64 XL for a donor. The kits will be available on the auction site sometime in May. Thanks. Paul

Thank you very much! The color is 57 Plymouth Burgandy metallic. Aside changing it from a 58 to a 57, I took a pie slice out of the body right at the rear door line, this straightened out the body somewhat and at the same time gave the roof a bit more of a peak. Removed the heavily mold lined bumper wings. So many other problems with the body on the 58 I did not fix, the too low trunk lid, wrong hood cut lines to the front fenders, cowl screen, ect.

Thanks all!

Built from an old All American Models resin trans kit.

Built from a Modelhaus trans kit using the AMT 58 Belvedere for a donor. I helped create the master for this one. Straightened out the AMT "leaping fish" body.

Pretty much outta the box, added rally wheels, vinyl top, and Modelhaus tires.

Thanks for the compliments! Heres the engine. No added detail.

Thanks all! It is 1/24th scale. Yes I just filled the giant gaps for the mandatory opening front doors with 5 min. epoxy.

Has some fun with this one. Added the wood trim, did the Navajo interior with some sharpies and a straight edge.
