Top notch work!

Outstanding job on all of them!! But that Thomas Crown Ferrari...??!!

The AMT 1970 Monte Carlo SS454 is done, just before my end of the year deadline. It's a pretty nice kit overall, with lots of detail parts and molded in details. As kitted though, the front end sits a little high and my kit hood was too short to fit right, even though I didn't plan on using it. I used a resin hood from Lex's Scale Modeling, but I just couldn't get it to fit right no matter what I did, so I'll just have to live with it. I'm very happy with my first attempt at a vinyl top as well, and learned a lot for my next attempt. The color is FolkArt Metallic Peridot and is cleared with Decoart Americana Duraclear Gloss Clear, and the top is FolkArt Hunter Green, both sprayed through my airbrush. The interior is a combo of FolkArt Hunter Green and Basil Green, and Apple Barrel Marsh Green. All trim is done with Bare Metal Foil, and I added gauge decals and door locks for extra detail. The chassis was painted Apple Barrel Jet Black and I used some Aluminum and Terra Cotta craft paint for the weathering. I used the kit rims and the tires from the 1986 Monte Carlo SS kit with decals from Fireball Modelworks. The engine is craft paint as well with plug wires added for extra detail, although I now regret the choice of using green because of the body color for them. Thanks for looking, and see you all next year!!

Great looking Hot Rods!!

Fantastic builds!

Very excellent builds!

Wow! That's a lot of very well done Caddy's!

That does seem appropriate, it is more like a tank than a car. Your build thread is well done and very informative, I can't believe I missed it earlier in the year. I saved the link for future reference as I most surely will pick this kit up sometime soon. You did a fantastic job on it!

Cool!

Well done! Great job on the doors!

Those ae some nice old junkers!

Excellent works!

Great works! I'm fond of the '69 Impala and the 70 1/2 Camaro. The '58 T-bird is a beauty as well. I imagine it would be pretty interesting building the quickie test-shot vehicles just to show how they fit together.

Very nice work!

That Luftwagen is something else! I need the Tumbler for my Batmobile collection, but to be honest I'm a little daunted at how it might build.

Very cool and nice builds!

Nice work on all of them! Like most every one else, I really like the Honda Monkey!

Great job on all!

All are outstanding and very cleanly built!!

Great job on all 3!

Looks good! Great color!

Outstanding! One of my favorite Labonte schemes!

Thanks! I used flat black, then very lightly dry-brushed the markings in silver, then using a toothpick I very carefully painted the dials in red. Afterward, I used another toothpick and re-touched the black as best I could. I think I was cross-eyed for a day or two after that though??, lol.

A couple of incredible builds! Your detailing is amazing!

Very nice work! That '68 Bug is awesome!
