  1. Very cool! Love the paint job and that is a great idea on the roof!
  2. Beautiful build! What color green is that? I’d like to get some!
  3. This is the AMT Grant King sprint car. I picked this up at a model show a couple years ago and it was slightly stated, the frame jig and frame were glued together and it was missing a couple pieces. I’ve never built one so I figured I’d give it a try! I think it came out pretty decent, let me know what you guys think! All comments welcome!
  4. Steve which 2 part epoxy are you currently using? I have tried a couple brands and have been using the Bob Smith (I think that’s it) brand but I’ve had a couple joints not holding up that well.
  5. Great looking build of that kit!
  6. Does it have any effect on clear coating over the decals? I usually clear over decals so they don’t lift later on.
  7. Thanks for all the comments guys!
  8. I've never tried dish soap in the water, does it help the decal slide around on the model better? I will give it a try!!!
  9. I am looking for some vintage stuff that I know is going to be a long shot, but the members have helped me out before so it can’t hurt to ask! I am looking for any 1968 Chrysler Imperial promo parts in pretty much any condition, all I have is a body. a 67 or 68 Cougar front bumper, this is going to be a bit of a custom so I think I could make the funny car work also. l also still could use a Plymouth Petty Dart sportsman trunk again in pretty much any condition! Thanks in advance!
  10. I recently finished this 65 Plymouth altered wheelbase from the Moebius kit. I think these are really nice kits with a couple building options and some good parts left for the parts box! For the most part everything fit really well, some fit issues were my fault from not enough test fitting. This was a fun build! The grille is very finely engraved, I tried several different ways to get a black wash on it from very thin paint to ink to Microsol black wash. Any tips on doing this better would be awesome cause I have a couple others to build. The worst part was the decals, every decal tore no matter how careful I was, they came off the backing very easy but if I tried to slide it into place on the car they tore, that’s why the one side lettering is not positioned very well, I was afraid of tearing it more. Let me know what you guys think, all comments welcome!
  11. Very cool looking, love the color!
  12. Thanks guys for all the comments!
  13. I agree, I started to paint the tires but it was too much work so I just went and grabbed some parts box wheels and tires!
  14. Its a pretty fun kit and with some extra work could really be a good looking model, you should definitely get one!
