With a special thanks to Helmut and Keyser for their inspiration I was able to add 3 more special Alfa Romeos to my collection recently.

I really, really, really have to get these finished!!!

1964 and before.

Impressive build. Thanks for sharing.

Nicely done and real treasures.

Marvelous upgrade. All those little details certainly added up to a fine model.

Those of us who follow your work Ray have absolutely no fear that this won't come out looking amazing.

Oh that is sweet, especially the interior and the folded top.

Oh yes! Beautiful build.

Very well done.

Yes to the clear headlamps.

After seeing this Ertl Boss 302 I realized I did not have a '69 Boss 302. So I went looking on the Bay and found this one. I ordered this True Value version and it came yesterday and I found some interesting things about it. It is 1/25 unlike my other diecast Mustangs. It is a bank with key, It has no openings. The interior has a roll bar and racing seat. The windshield wipers are just paint on. The True Value script is on the trunk and suprisingly in the swoosh though very tiny. The wheels and tires are very nice though not accurate for the Boss 302. The taillights are barely visible in the dark rear panel. I really like it and will add it to the shelf as is I think.

Fascinating! Thank you for sharing your journey.

I like it a lot.

The one I ordered Snake is the True Value one and I hope to have it in a couple of days. I will post pictures when I get it.

Dale was a great mentor and inspiration to many of us. RIP Dale.

Darn it Snake that looks so good I had to go and order one. Found a red True Value version boxed.

Very impressive Renaults.

Amazing one year accomplishment. Thank you for sharing with us.

I like what you did and your descriptions of the changes you made to back date the kits.

Super job on the iconic racer. I second what Rich said, the wheels are some of the best plastic outside laced ones ever.

Very well done. I am impressed you were able to get the rear deck to fit on the Porsche 917 assuming it is the Heller kit.

I will be following your detailing closely.

The Austin Healey has to be my favorite. That was my first car and same color.

Very impressive collection for 2021 indeed. The Testa Rossa's have to be my favorites but they all look great and capture the era perfectly.
