    Hey everybody, Here's my Yamaha 250 DT1 that I build from the AMT 70s Era Dirtbikes Kit. I build it to be unrestored but still in use. Thx for looking

    Hey everybody, I am going to add seatbelts later but I'm calling this done for now. Built mostly stock except for a spring over axle lift and a couple more details in the engine bay. Thx for watching.

    Almost done. Still waiting for the photoetched seatbelt buckles to arrive in the mail and I need to add the battery.

    While waiting for parts to arrive in the mail to finish up the interior I started another MK1 Rabbit. This time I did a little more body work. No bumbers on this one

    While waiting for parts to arrive in the mail to finish up the interior I started another MK1 Rabbit. This time clean and with no bumpers so I did a little extra bodywork
  11. Mr. Horsepower 78
    Done with the body
  12. Mr. Horsepower 78
    Done with the chassis
  13. Mr. Horsepower 78
    Added BMF and clearcoat. I'm not going to polish it out because I want the paint to look a bit faded and aged
  14. Mr. Horsepower 78
    Done with the seats
  15. Mr. Horsepower 78
    Seats ready for primer

    I tried some more techniques and ended up stripping the paint after messing it all up. Here she is in new paint, I'm happy now:)

    That is a great looking model of a beautiful car. Your level of detailing is also very impressive. Thanks for sharing your work.

    Thanks Here's the body painted and weathered. I'm not sure if I like it, I think I might went a little to crazy with my weathering. What do you guys think?
  19. Mr. Horsepower 78
    Thanks The rest of the body is going to be less rusted. Basically rusty but the original paint will still be visible.
  20. Mr. Horsepower 78
    The hood painted and weathered
  21. Mr. Horsepower 78
    Stance I'm going for
  22. Mr. Horsepower 78
    Calling the engine done
  23. Mr. Horsepower 78
    Agreed, a re-release of that kit would be awesome. And how cool would be a decal sheet with a couple of these typical 70s stripes!
  24. Mr. Horsepower 78
    Thanks guys Those models are very impressive

    Hey everybody, I started building this vintage VW Rabbit by AMT. It's going to be unrestored with rusty paint but lowered on nice Zender wheels. Here's what the 1.6 litre 4 cylinder engine looks like so far. I took a pic next to a Ford Cobra 5.8 litre V8 so you guys can see how little the VW engine is
