  1. Well done, they all look great! I wouldn't mind building a few more myself.
  2. Looks good! Great color!
  3. Looks nice! Great color!
  4. Very nice looking Camaro!
  5. Can't wait for the S-10 Extreme! A Syclone and/or Typhoon would pry some cash from my wallet as well, LOL.
  6. Thank you for the response, Steve. It seemed weird seeing the tubbed wells without the narrowed rear.
  7. Thanks for the info everybody, just glad I'm not seeing things, LOL.
  8. Looking at the bottom of the box parts layout on the '69 GTX, it kind of looks like a Pro Street frame to me with those tubs. Maybe I just don't know much about Mopar frames, but that's what it looks like to me. I do know there were a couple of Pro Street versions, one being a GTX and the other a Super Bee. Those of you with more knowledge than me can correct/explain.
  9. That looks fantastic!
  10. Here's my version of the AMT 1970 Dodge Challenger in as close to F4 Green as I could get. I used Createx Pearl Lime with a few drops of Createx Opaque Black to darken the color. I used Createx 4053 High Gloss Clear and gave it the wet-sand, polish, and wax treatment. I used Bare Metal Foil for all of the trim, using the foil under paint technique for the Challenger side script. For the kit supplied separate vinyl top I just airbrushed on Apple Barrel English Ivy Green with a mixture of satin and matte clear. For the interior I used embossing powder for the carpet and used Apple Barrel English Ivy Green for the seats, carpet, door panels, and dashboard. I just used multiple browns and a slight drybrush of black for the woodgrain. Kit decals were used for the gauges. I used a mixture of orange and red craft paint for the engine, and added spark plug wires and a coil for extra detail. I used Ammo by mig matte aluminum for the wheels, added valve stems foe added detail, and sanded the tire tread. A decent kit considering the age of the tooling, it was lacking a bit in details, but the overall fit was pretty good. I do have some update videos on my youtube channel for anybody that might be interested. As always, thanks for looking!
  11. I have been using Createx for a few years now and love them! One should not wet sand the colors, but after at least 72 hours of drying/curing the clears can be carefully wet sanded. While Hobby lobby has a smaller selection of their paints, spraygunner.com seems to carry their whole line. I have a couple of tutorials concerning the clears on my youtube channel if anyone is interested.
  12. Very nicely done! I agree it is a bit of a simplified kit, as were all of the old Monogram 1/24 scale muscle car kits, but generally pretty nice kits as well.
  13. Nice looking Mustang!
  14. That looks pretty awesome!
