I recently finished this AMT Round two Black Beauty with some very mild customizing done. I went with Tamiya silver for the paint which I thought looked pretty good on it, I opened the rear wheel wells a little to kind of lighten the larger quarters in the back, added some 3D printed wheels closed off all the time fighting accessories and built the interior pretty much out of the kit! Overall I thought it came out ok and is a pretty nice kit. The plastic didn’t take to some of the paint I used especially on the interior as I think it was a little too hot. Let me know what you guys think!

This is the Ole Blue #3 from Salvinos that I finished a while ago. This was a very hard kit to build at least for me! I had a lot of trouble with fitment and alignment of parts, mainly the engine, rear end which had very vague and somewhat delicate mounting points. I’m sure a lot of people can do a much better job on this than me! I did find an old article in one of the magazines on building these kits and that way looks like a much better approach than I used following the directions. My wife bought me a second one of these so I might have another go at it! Let me know what you guys think!

Please delete, trade completed!

Just finished a trade with Leo64 and Big Truck, both were awesome, will trade anytime!

Up for trade is this Hubley Metropolitan promo in 1/25 scale. This is missing a front bumper and steering wheel, otherwise in decent shape with some warping. I don’t know if the black paint is factory or not but it does look well done, there is a dull spot on the hood. Chrome is decent and the glass is ok also. not really looking for anything specific, maybe a non acetate promo in the same condition? Or throw out some ideas!

Up for trade is this lot of 12 HO scale cars, 6 of these are very generic but might look ok on a train layout. I think the other six are the Revell HO scale mopars , I think these were kits and they are actually pretty cool and nicely done! There are 2 Valiant wagons that are complete and a Dodge Lancer that is also complete. The 2 Chrysler conv are missing parts as is the Imperial. I am open to offers, some things I am looking for would be a set of original 58 Chevy bumpers front and rear, the kit from 58, the front was 1 piece. 1968 Imperial promo bumpers, a Petty Dart trunk lid from any issue, a 67 or 68 Cougar front bumper, either will work for what I need. Thanks in advance!

That's awesome!

Beautiful build!

Very cool! Love the paint job and that is a great idea on the roof!

Thanks everyone! I appreciate all the comments!

Really nice looking!

Beautiful build! What color green is that? I’d like to get some!

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!

Man that is really nice!!!

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.

Great looking build of that kit!

That's a cool old poster! I like that Mustang!

Does it have any effect on clear coating over the decals? I usually clear over decals so they don’t lift later on.
