  1. Looks awesome! Paint job definitely has that 90's vibe. Just a very cool looking '32 Roadster!
  2. Nice! Great looking paint job!
  3. Great looking resto, and I love the color!
  4. Thank you Brandon! Thanks Roger! Thank you Francis, I appreciate it. I've always liked the Cowl Induction hoods, and since I cut the scoop out of the kit's stinger hood for my Gumball Rally Camaro, this was the natural replacement.
  5. Good gravy that's a gorgeous paint job!! The whole thing is looking fantastic so far!!
  6. Thanks Bill! I try to include as much info on my builds as possible, sometimes too much I think, lol. Thank you Snake! Thanks Albert! Thanks Cliff! Thanks Mike! Thank you Lee. The wheels are from a used lot I bought on ebay earlier this year so I have no idea which kit they are from. The way the kit wheels mount to the axles, there is no actual typical wheel back. It's just a pin that goes inside a small diameter round piece that then glues to the center of the back of the wheel. I was able to work around a way to use the pin and small round piece on the back of the non-kit wheel. thanks Guido!
  7. Cool Caddy!
  8. I've seen a couple of the '77 Monte Carlo snappers done nicely including an in-depth build review and would love to have a couple to do for myself. My parents bought a new Monte Carlo in 1976 that was blue and I really liked that car.
  9. Great looking little wagon/SUV! Nice colors on the two-tone and I like the accessories on the roof!
  10. Nicely done! Love the color and great job on the paint and top! Suddenly I have a craving for Butterscotch pudding, lol.
  11. Vinyl top looks good Gareth! I'll be doing my first attempt at one on the AMT 1970 Monte Carlo in the next couple of months, I'm just not sure in what order I will be doing my next 6 projects lol.
  12. Thank you David! Thanks guys!
  13. Thanks Gareth, I've been trying to get more realistic pics to help with presentation, but I still need lots of help with my photography lol.
  14. Thanks guys, much appreciated!
  15. Thanks! Yes, they are the kit headers. Thank you Michelle. Thanks Ray! Thank you Chris! Thanks Tim!
  16. It seems that all of their new subjects recently have been 1/25 and all of the re-releases are in the scale of the original release, so I would expect this Mustang to be in 1/25. And yes, i would also be very curious as to what and how many more new subjects are being considered down the road.
  17. I finished up the Revell 1967 Nickey Camaro this morning. I did my best to do it as an SS396 instead of the Nickey version. I went for the Day 2 look with the Cragar style rims. The color is Model Master Bright Aqua Pearl sprayed over Tamiya TS-17 Aluminum, and cleared with Model Master Gloss Clear, and BMF was used for all of the chrome trim. I used the stinger hood on my Gumball Rally Camaro, so I purchased a cowl induction hood from Lex's Scale Modeling on ebay for this one. The interior is done in white craft paint and I taped off and painted the seat stripes and door panels in black craft paint. The floorboards and dashboard are done in black craft paint as well. The steering wheel was de-chromed and painted in beige craft paint, and I went over the outside part with a brown sharpie marker for the woodgrain effect. The radio face, shift pattern and gauges are all decals included on the kit decal sheet. The chassis was left in Stynylrez black primer, the exhaust, gas tank and driveshaft are airbrushed in Vallejo Model Air Aluminum. The engine was airbrushed with orange craft paint and the Transmission was the Vallejo Aluminum as well. The wheels are from a used lot I bought on ebay a while back and the tires are from my parts box. The manifold and carb are from the AMT Baldwin-Motion Camaro and the air cleaner was taken from the MPC 1972 GTO kit. I added ignition wires and heater hoses for extra underhood details and also added valve stems on the rims and door locks on the door panels. This is a really nice kit with great details and fitment and I really enjoyed the build. The mixture of indoor and outdoor pics shows the difference the sun makes with the pearl. As always, thanks for looking!!
  18. This is looking very cool and sexy so far!! I'm definitely going to have to try a NASCAR chassis for my next Pro-Touring project! This WIP thread will be most useful when the time comes!
  19. That's pretty sharp! I like the look of the wheels and tires on this one!
  20. That's an incredible piece of work! Absolutely beautiful!
  21. I love all of these! The Firebird is my fave, but also how cool would it be to see a '55 Thunderbird Gasser pulling a drag boat & trailer on the road in real life, lol. Seeing the pic of the box for the Firebird/boat/trailer combo just makes me wonder how many of those would sell in today's market if the mold still exists and it was to be re-issued. I can only think it would sell like crazy, but I could be wrong. Perhaps maybe even as a Coca Cola version to boost sales with the collectible market as well.
  22. Nice looking rebuild! Should make for a pretty good memento of your cousin.
  23. Yeah! I like that! Very sharp, very cool and a nice job on the hood and engine.
  24. Very well done! Looks great!
