I like your taste, have the Lancia, Pagani, Alfa and Paris-Dakar Unimog in my stash. Nice collection.

Good guess! Thank you. Welcome to the forum.

All nice, but love the Citroén weathering, and never see those in the US.

I saw Flagstaff and had to look. Looks like Mingus Mountain back there.

Very nice job on all. I like the Mercedes 540K, is that the Monogram kit? I have the Cord kit, have plans for doing Tom Mix car. The Duesenberg is awesome.

Pretty nice Olds! Wishing more time next year. ?

All of them are really well done. Just because I have the BMW kit, of course I like that. The yellow Ford, are the slot mags Fireball?

Nice! Even though it's not a Cobra? Thank you! Thank you too!

could be helpful

Appreciate this, funny thing about that model, didn't get an award in the only contest I entered this year.

The black on your Road Runner is amazing! I'm amazed you got this many quality builds done.

That '29 is amazing, love the concept. Two awesome projects, bet you can't build a Box Stock model. ?

I resolve to build more models, showing this in public sets my sights on finishing something. Two are carry over from last year, two WIP were not on my 2020 list. Some that were on last year's list have been ditched. 1. ICM - Mercedes G666 BenutzerdefiniertHinterntretenJadgAktenvernichterGeländewagenLimousine Made good progress, have obstacles such as twisted frame to overcome before proceeding. 2. Otaki - Lamborghini Hellcheetah Acquired the kit this year. 3. Testors (Gunze Sangyo) Lamborghini Spelling Bee Special (Silhouette) Was hoping to finish this year, but will be the first for 2021, so this should be a cakewalk. 4. Beemax - Audi Sport Quattro S1 [E2]. Think I have every aftermarket upgrade now. ? 5. Revell - 1953 Ford pickup that my dad owned. 6. Tamiya - 1998 Subaru Impreza for '21 Cannonball Ruse community build. 7. Italeri - Ferrari 250 GTO Spyder. Kit that was a bagged kit (thus no box). Took pictures of it at a Copperstate Rally many years ago. There is another project that will be entered in the last GSL contest, don't have it yet. So that would be 8, still ambitious at the rate I build.

Thanks Steve! No doubt, with skinny bias-ply tires that got shredded after a dozen laps or so. Thank you very much! Once it came together I was satisfied, it's like watching sausage being made.

Appreciate it. I wasn't active for a few months, so everything got buried. I was going to post a 2021 Resolutions topic. Thank you! Cool, glad you like it! Yea sure, I was looking at my stash and thought 6 a month would be good. Thank you.

As everyone else said, it's not quantity but quality. Love the cop car! Nice Stovebolt detailing.

and psychologically challenged

Not as successful as I hoped, only six completed this year. I had grand ambitious plans to finish more, but glad this many are on the shelf. 1948 Chevrolet Canopy Express Italeri: Ferrari 275 N.A.R.T. - Thomas Crown Affair AMT: Not '72 but '69 Chevy pickup THE GREEN BARGE 29 Window VW/Porsche Microbus Celexus 1937 AUTO UNION C type - Vanderbilt Cup Race by FPPMODELOS So I had 9 projects to finish, got only 5 done, but one snuck in which made it 6. Two qualified for Bring Out Your Dead. The Mercedes G666 BenutzerdefiniertHinterntretenJadgAktenvernichterGeländewagenLimousine will get done next year!

Thank you very much! Thank you too! I am, good feeling to finish another long dead project. Thanks! Sure thing, glad to have this forum to share. I'm going through my topics for 2020. ?

choice for impressing

FPPMODELOS 1/24 scale resin kit of the Auto-Union C made by Fernando Pinto Portugal, of the 1937 Vanderbilt Cup Race winner. WIP: Auto Union C - Vanderbilt Cup 1937 Bought the book Auto Union V16 Supercharged a technical appraisal hoping there would be good photos or illustrations, but found the best reference on the web, lucky to have downloaded a cutaway before the site disappeared. The car was ground-breaking in many ways, mid engine, aerodynamics, limited slip differential, use of aluminum, Dr. Ferdinand Porsche designed the car that challenged Mercedes Benz before WW2. The book described the evolution during the program, Porsche opted for a low reving engine vs. exotic fuels used by Mercedes. Other than the Hindenburg, this is the only other vehicle with the Swastika that burned up American territory, the race organizers mandated only Audi have it (like it's hard to tell the difference between front engine and mid engine car?). Bernd Rosemeyer led most of the race and won. Must have been fun to watch American Indy cars compete with European Grand Prix cars, how cool would a match up today be? I knew the kit would be a challenge. The kit is 100% handmade, no 3D printing, no photo-etch (other kits of his have p-e). Besides fitment issues, I replaced many kit parts with scratch-built units. It's not my best work, but race cars back then were crude anyway. It's also surprisingly heavy! The laced wire (not photo-etched) wheels are outstanding, they come finished, no painting required. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

if grass fed

Old movie, vaguely recall it was a comedy? Nice Shoebox Ford.

Well thank you very much! I check out his listings on occasion. He has a Fakebook page, know there is a future subject I have to get. Finished last night. Took glamor shots today, will post in Under Glass later. Here is a shot of the engine. Don't look too close, I did not drill the distributors to glue in the wires. ? I know Tamiya (Fujimi, Aoshima, Italeri, etc.) will never produce this subject, so for being a 100% hand built kit, with 89.75 hours spent scratch-building many parts and getting everything to fit, I'm glad to have in the display case. ?
