In the category of "Execution" , my vote goes to the AMT Sink Mark Special Concept Camaro. I've never been that close to set a model on fire in public.

AMT '62 Corvette....

Cool! Thay are all nice! but that blue Sport Phaeton has some serious presence and character. What a beautiful car! Thanks for sharing! Thanks,

First ever? You are a natural! That is looking very good! Keep going! go Go GO!! Thanks,

It should be around 8 weeks, or about 2 more issues. But there was a problem and the December issue was delayed due to a computer crash, so the editor (Gregg) is catching up. (Maybe he was drinking and driving the computer, that's why he crashed it) So I guess you may see a bit more delay than usual but it'll eventually get there. Thanks,

Yes, they work now. Interesting model. Very different and refreshing. What scale? What manufacturer? Thanks,

Hello, We had our 3rd Muscle Car Model Madness today in Puerto Rico. This is a show that our good friend Luis Ayala (papin67) puts together with the help of the rest of the gang: Barbosa(Barbo), Rogelio(maverick351), Fanfan(madslammer), me and others. It was a fun get together of modelers and we had a blast. Although the show is small in terms of shear numbers (about 50 quality models) it was HUGE in fun and hanging out with friends. The atmosphere was very relaxing and everybody had a great time. After all, that's what this is all about. Here is one of the albums with pics of the event. I'll include additional links as soon as other gang members upload their pictures. http://public.fotki.com/papin1967/muscle-car-model-ma-1/ Thanks!

Jeff, That's looking good! I have that kit and I was looking at it today... hmmm Thanks,

Nice way to kick start the muse. Cool subject!

WOW! It works so well! It evokes images of the Porsche 912 of the late '60s early '70s Thanks,

Mike, That turned out really nice. Glad you kept going despite the setbacks. The headlights are very cool. I always liked those cars... Thanks,

I can't see the pictures. Can others see them?

Hi, The '53 Corvette has a powerglide tranny. Maybe that's an option. Thanks,

Glad you made it work. It always has to end with the .jpg (or any other picture format) extension. If you right click the image and check on properties, you need to delete whatever is after the .jpg extension. In Jason's case, he is using the "share photo" button, which includes 1 blank space at the front and 2 at the end when you copy and paste. I think that may be on purpose to prevent automated scritps to hijack picture URLs. Thanks,

Very simple: You have spaces between the IMG tags and your url. Trust me.... Been there, done that, got the T-shirt Thanks,

Green is my least favorite car color. Actually, I've done only 1 green car in my life, over 10 years ago. But if I decide to build a Quaker State sponsored race car (1988 Indy Porsche), what would be a good match for it? Thanks,

Ahh yes, now I know what you mean. It is my intention to add them, but it all depends on how they behave I have also considered doing them with brass, but I haven't got there yet. Thanks,

I don't know much about this scale but I think there is a Camaro and a '57 Chevy in 1/12 as well with a small blocks. If so, that could be used as a starting point for your engine but it will of course need to be modified/adapted, depending on how factory correct you want it. Plain old small block '67 in Marina blue: What a gorgeous car!!!!! Looking forward to see it! Thanks,

It is the one at the very top of the thread. Car # 52 in black white and silver with red pinstripes. It will make more sense in the next 2 steps... Thanks,

Thanks! Glad you like it. The short tail version would be nice. I'd love to do several versions as well if these kits were more "accesible". Long tail V8, Short tail, Lee Racing, Peerless, Budweiser etc. I'm doing the car as it ran in Atlanta in 1987. The dive planes in the front were added later. By the louvers in the vents, do you mean these on the side? Thanks,

The Cobra Colors Nurburgring Silver has been applied.

Cool link, Thanks!

Great job with the polishing!

Bienvenido hermano latino! Welcome!

Let the painting begin! Of course after deepening the panel lines and primer etc. etc. First color: Cobra Colors Corvette Arctic White: Now is when the fun begins! Masking for the subsequent colors. As any pilot will tell you: for every minute of flying, there are hours of preparation. Thanks,
