Hey everybody,
Here's my Yamaha 250 DT1 that I build from the AMT 70s Era Dirtbikes Kit.

Thx for looking

It was a fun build
I am planning another one with a Chevy small block and a bit more radical

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.

Great looking Jeep!
If you the photo etched buckles, remember to give them some depth! I see too many in finished models that look like card stock!
thx for the heads up
-
looks pretty good so far
thx

Almost done. Still waiting for the photoetched seatbelt buckles to arrive in the mail and I need to add the battery.
-
Great work can't wait to see it finished
-
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

This time clean and with no bumpers so I did a little extra bodywork

Done with the body
-
Done with the chassis
-
Added BMF and clearcoat.
I'm not going to polish it out because I want the paint to look a bit faded and aged
-
Done with the seats
-
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?
-
Thanks
The rest of the body is going to be less rusted. Basically rusty but the original paint will still be visible.

The hood painted and weathered
-
Stance I'm going for
-
Calling the engine done

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!
-
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
