  1. Beautiful! I love the extra detail.
  2. Beautiful build. Clean work and attention to detail. Well done!
  3. I'm working on the details now but should have a printable version in a day or 2.
  4. Does it have to be the Moebius one? I have a few Mopar A-frames in my parts box. I don't have the Moebius kit to compare them with.
  5. I'm going to play around with 3d printing them. I foresee a problem in that the mirror face will have layer lines unless I can get to print perfectly flat. Will see what I can do. I like the challenge.
  6. The Challenger is traded.
  7. Had a great trade with TarheelRick. He's a great guy to deal with.
  8. Very nice! Where did you get the engine from?
  9. I'm sure I have a parachute. PM me and I'll send you one.
  10. The body is now cleared and polished. I went with Boyd's (Testors) enamel clear, airbrushed, then put in the dehydrator for 4 hours. After that it was polished and put back in the dehydrator for another 4 hours. Polishing while the coating was still soft was really easy. It only took polishing compound, no wet sanding needed at all. Model shown here mocked up with my own 3d printed tires and deluxe hub caps.
  11. Very nice! Clean and lots of attention to detail. Well done.
  12. Very nice. The paint looks awesome!
  13. I do the same. If the epoxy yellows, by that time my model has already been given to the thrift store!
  14. The 67 Charger has been traded.
  15. The Cuda convertible has been traded.
  16. I have the following available for trade. I would be willing to trade 2 for 1 for the right kit (it would thin my stash even more). Challenger, Ferrari, Charger, Cuda, and #24 Nascar are all sealed. '37 Ford has been started, has one broken wheel, will send photos if you're interested. Chrysler Concept is complete and about 75% built. Deora is complete but bags have been opened. What I'm looking for: Delorean, any Chevelle, any El Camino, 50's - 80's pickups, ramp truck, 70's to 80's Cutlass, Gremlin, Pacer, 67-68 Mustang, station wagons
  17. MPC 1968 Corvette annual in 1/20 scale. I originally built it without paint, only decals. As my skills improved, it suffered a couple of renovations, as well as being dropped on the floor more than once. The current paint job dates back to about 1975.
  18. I would use the Lindberg chassis as well. Revell 68-69 Charger and Johan C-body Chrysler or Plymouth are other options.
  19. Same idea, but I carved the detail into a single piece of styrene and then curved it around the vertical axis. I also reinforced it with a strip on the inside which I filed to fit after the glue had dried. Others have suggested reinforcing with wire which seems like a great idea.
  20. All are Beautiful. Great paint and decal work. They all look so real!
  21. Nice variety snd good clean builds. Nicely done!
  22. Wow. Nice build. The under hood detail is fantastic!
  23. Really nice!
