  1. Great build of a classic muscle car! I would love to see this kit re-issued as well as some of the other old muscle car kits.
  2. Thanks! There's not much to it so it should be a fun, quick build now that everything is painted. Thanks! I really like the green, and was on the fence about adding decals since I don't have many to choose from with a limited stash so far. Luckily I just finished the '41 Willys and after testing the size, was very happy that a couple of them fit and I think the colors work well. Although not the best quality, now that everything is painted, it should go together pretty quickly and so far at least everything seems to fit well. Thanks, a few new colors would be very welcome in the one coat line. Yours looks great with the custom touches, and I love the engine!
  3. Thanks, I'm diggin' the color combo on yours. Nice work. LOL, while the quality of the kit seems cheap, funny thing is this is the most expensive kit I bought so far outside of my 1/16 MPC Shelby Cobra 427. I paid full price at the local hobby shop, kinda makes up for all the kits I got for a reduced price at Ollies, and on Amazon and ebay. Thanks, these Testors One Coats are great to work with, I've used 4 of them now and all have turned out great. Yours looks nice, and I really like the color on it.
  4. A little progress update on my Lindberg '34 Ford Roadster Pickup. Paint is Testors One Coat Mystic Emerald, with Model Master Leather seat and steering wheel. All the plated parts have been de-chromed (mainly because of poor plating) and will be painted flat black. Decals are leftover from my '41 Willys kit. This generally seems like a poor quality kit with poor plating, lots of flash, and not a lot of pieces. On a positive note the general fit seems ok so far, and I'm excited to see how it turns out.
  5. Excellent work! Love the Mustang front end, great job.
  6. That's a badass truck! Great paint job and I love the flames. Top notch!
  7. Wow!! Absolutely incredible! Not a single detail missed, I can almost hear it run. Most impressive!
  8. I thought that was a gorgeous paint job even before seeing the outdoor pics and was blown away even more by those. Absolutely stunning build in every way.
  9. That is some amazing detail on that engine, and incredible craftsmanship on the seat and rollcage. Definitely need to see this one when finished.
  10. Nice job on the Hurst/Olds, it looks great. Those two look great together.
  11. The Olds looks awesome, and the paint job is top notch. The TS-60 Pearl Green looks great on that car, I'm doing a '62 Corvette Roadster that I painted the exact same color and I really like it.
  12. Nice color and a great start. Color looks amazingly close to the Testors Arctic Blue Metallic enamel from the can that I used for my Revell "67 Chevelle.
  13. Beautiful build! Great idea and follow through!
  14. Great job! Nice details and the weaponry looks fantastic.
  15. I'll be working on that same kit this winter. That is if I can get the paint right on it. Just got done stripping the first attempt. I look forward to seeing progress pics when you get the photo issue resolved.
  16. Nice paint and color combo, and a snazzy looking interior.
  17. Those are some beautiful old jalopies. Very well done!
  18. Pretty genius idea! Looks very slick!
  19. Another great build, Randy!
  20. Truly outstanding builds! Whoever issued that Daytona kit has got to re-issue it, please.
  21. I'm liking the color. Nice job on the engine so far. This kit looks awfully similar to the Foose kit that I finished earlier this summer, with maybe the only differences being the wheels/tires and decals, at least that's the impression I am getting by the box art side panel. It should go together pretty well, and I can't wait to see it finished.
  22. Yeah, you guys in the south have to deal with high humidity quite a bit. I have the 5 of these ready to go plus I just added a '66 Shelby Mustang to the winter docket, although I have to strip and re-paint it after botching the paint last week. 12 is definitely a pretty lofty goal to get done.
  23. I see that a lot of modelers can and will paint during the cold months in Northern U.S. and Canada, as they will spray the car and then immediately bring it back inside. However, for me to do that seems very tedious to take the body and parts outside, spray said items and then bring back inside a number of times until all the coats are sprayed on. I also have a wife and son that are sensitive to the smells of the paint and gives them headaches, so I spray in my shed and leave out there to dry, so temps in the 0's, teens, and twenty's would not be conducive to painting. Perhaps sometime in the future when I can obtain an airbrush, I can start using craft paints and solve my little problem. It also kind of sucks when I get some inspiration on a build and can't start it because it's too cold to paint. We'll also see if I actually get all of these built, too .
