That's 'Merica right there! ?? The Kaiser is cool, that a promo? Dig the Sedona background too.

Civic fan here.... built a few, this one is the same generation: You are wise to start off easy. I just started using the Tamiya primer, will see how it works out, but I've done several coats of primer and sanding to get it right. Those door panels are pathetic! For one project I covered with carbon fiber decal, and made wire door pulls, to give a racer look. Think I have some seats I could give you.

All very well done projects. I favor the Porsche 904 too, must be the number. ?

At the risk of: The best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry. (To A Mouse by Robert Burns) Resolution #1: Stop wasting so much time on Fakebook.? That's the only chance I have of living up to the next resolution. ? Hoping to continue the roll I've been on since joining this forum. We all have projects in mind, we get to them when the mood hits, and that can change daily. I struggled to pick only nine, leaving out the current NART project, that will be next if it kills me. Have my last finished project filling space to remind myself. Not in chronological order, but will start with WIP. 1948 Chevrolet Canopy Express was started April 1995. Got involved in the Bring Back Your Dead group build, but staled out after making substantial progress. Recently got the perfect tubing for the rolled bed edge. Just need to resolve the floor, gas tank, color paint for the patina look. VW 25 window Bus was started January 2003. The major kit bash work is done, the meshing of the Porsche 911 engine/suspension, dash, seats, wheels, lights, mirrors. Need to repair and redo the A-pillars before commencing. Cast a new VW emblem, so can remove from body so paint can look good in that area. Making the wire detail in the windows and back seat will be fun. Also want to do fiber-optic lighting. Debating how to do the cloth top, want an open and closed option made from Kleenex. Toyota Celica sleeper, have it planned out on the instructions, for stitching the Lexus (US name) V8 and chassis under the body with minimal modifications. Refuse to do the Rocketbunny look, but a razor wing might be cool. '69 Chevrolet pickup. Maybe I'll do a '68, which I currently own, but the '69 which was my previous truck will be a little easier. Have numerous parts, such as grills, badges, wheel/tires, gauges. Will resist doing a proper chassis/suspension, have a few more kits that could get the treatment. Beemax: Audi Quattro is something I've always wanted to build. Also have the Profil S1, which will become Bobby Unser's Pikes Peak car. Waiting for detail parts such as the engine, gravel tire/wheels, windows. Auto Union C Since I got the perfect tubing to do the 16 exhaust tips, that's calling me. Mercedes G4 sedan. No, they didn't produce one, a radio car yes, but not what could be considered the ultimate SUV during WW2. Roof came from my 170V Roadster project, needs sectioning to grow bigger. Would like to find a 1/24 scale Mauser rifle, know of smaller scale Shapeways versions. Honda Civic 1st generation, with newer engine transplant. Car is 1/24, engine 1/25, does it matter, do I care? I have the CVCC kit too, that will be a replica of my first car. Opel Blitz cargo truck. Only because there are resin cargo parts available now, makes it easy to fill the back. Found the aftermarket tire/wheels, to replace the evil tires that melt plastic. I have many other military kits that might push this aside. I'll be happy if half get built, but 8 got done 2019, so why not dream? HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Saw the preview for the next Bond movie, they have this car with updates, such as gatling machine guns in the headlights. ?

You do really nice paint jobs! Love the Arado, I'm into WW2 German armor and aircraft (Left 46 especially), looks good. Aftermarket tail decal?

The Cadillac is pretty cool. Keep restoring subjects that are uncommon!

I dig the colors for 1 and 3. They all look great! Happy New Year.

Think we all have such projects. I'm glad you bumped this thread. I've owned a '69 and currently a '68 pickup, have gathered a few kits and parts, really should pursue putting one together. Doesn't look like it will ever be re-issued.

I like the '50 Ford pickup, only because I've built it 3 times. ? I also had a similar experience, building two. I also totally understand about getting projects done, think that's a sign of ...... I better not. ? Keep up the good work!

You done good! Keep up the good work!

Fake vents are there. ? The wing is definitely weird, especially with the Indy light. I've ordered from Japan, internet is dangerous on the disposable income.

for beached whales

That was my thought too! Good to see so many completed models.

Good idea to resume a Tamiya kit. I built the evil twin Dodge Stealth that AMT produced, this was the original car before Lee Iacocca did the badge engineering, and this is still a better looking car. I've gone for years without building, so glad you are back at it!

Thank you my friend! I'm a happy camper. Thank you! Thank you! We need to get that Audi Quattro built for next year. ?

Funny, I did not expect to hijack a thread so easily! ? Sorry about that, but since it's been a popular subject, another picture, my dad was talking to the crew: Saw this model at the last Modelzona contest:

When that Firebird was new, had a fold-out advertisement on the wall for awhile. It was a nice looking car compared to everything else. That a flat finish paint? Looks good!

There isn't an Empty Air award. ?

Very nicely done, you have the shiny paint down pat. Every time I see a Cameo, kick myself for not buying a nice original years ago.

I think you need to build more models. ? Didn't know so many Russian vehicle kits existed, nice to see them and thanks for sharing. I have that Audi Quattro kit, recently ordered the engine and other detail parts. The unfinished Mercedes police car, what kit is that? The 4WD van is cool. Just got the Porsche race car kit. I've built a few '50 Ford pickups. Built the Vehicross for a diorama. And have the Lamborghini in the stash. All very clean and well done models. ?

Thank you. So many here that things tend to get overlooked. Thank you! The past couple weeks, I joined Facebook groups themed for American Southwest, Grand Canyon N. P., and Zion N.P., and have been sharing vintage family photos. My dad took many pictures of their adventures, with the car in the shots. Most of the time, comments are about the Beetle or whatever car, the scene is secondary. ? For example, tunnel collapse in the Zion tunnel, their first Beetle, which I hope to also build. Thanks, that was a fun slap together.
