LOL, I hear you! To me, building is the fun, progress in the build is my motivation to keep going, and eventually a nice model in the showcase is my reward - and, in a way, "proof" of both my fun and motivation. I found that if I get stuck in too lengthy builds, both fun and motivation can get lost for the time being and I pack in the "hard" build for a while in order to start an easier one.

Lucky you, I am still looking for one... May I ask, is this the '72 GTO kit, so the same like the current MPC one with the orange car on the box? And if so, what is the difference between the '72 and '70 - or is it just the hood? The headlights seem to be different, too...

Same here... Well not many, maybe, but more than a handful. If I put one build aside for a while, then it's probably due to the fact that I am fed up with it for one reason or another. And that means it will probably take months before I'll get back to it. Continously switching between several active builds doesn't work for me, I need to stay focussed on one main project. And I manage to stack my workbench anyway, with only 1 kit on it, and tools, paints, etc...

Marvellous! Top-Qualität aus Ostwestfalen

So you took care of the hardest part anyways... Well done!

Great build and a rare color!

I second that. Well done!

There's several similar products from Vallejo as far as I can tell. And there also seem to be products from the old range aswell as the current one on the market. Therefore I suggest that you specify the Vallejo product no.'s in question (e.g. something like "62064"), as that surely will help to solve these mysteries of Vallejo...

Yes Sir, this is looking brilliant. I hope I can forget about this great build before I'll ever start mine...

I have thought about it and wasn't quite decided. Then today I found my personal answer to this, here on the forum. To me, a pro-modeler... ...comes up with great results like this: and... ...has a website indicating building prices for their clients! https://www.reality-scaled.com/pricing

Cool model!

You don't see post-'70 Chargers built every day, so I'll follow you build. Choice of color and wheels are right up my alley!

The start looks good and I love that purple. Is it Plum Crazy?

I didn't see one model finished in Liquid Blue so far, to be honest. Looking forward to see you progress on this!

"Frankenstein Engine Dynamics, Weatherford, TX" That says it all, I guess...

I don't know... looks perfectly fine to me...?

That lOOks sensational!

You have a point there. Easier to handle and build box-stock, maybe... But with some ambition, lots and lots of space to be filled with details... You did great by the way, really like your custom Camaro!

VERY nice!

I guess older folks like myself tend to compensate that by buying much more kits than they'll ever manage to build... I see your point, speaking of younger generations, my opinion is that kids today have much too much diversion and consumption like electronic media, video games etc. They barely have the "calmness" to sit down and try something that may some time building. My boy is 11 years old and I built 2 snap kits with him some time ago. He was complaining that all the parts were wrong while doing that. So I don't see him being the one to build my kit pile some day, so far at least...

LOL... Yes, and there's fat milk, lean milk... I barely use enamels these days, but I guess your ratios are about what I have used back then. Never did do the thinning THAT exactly though. Merely mixed paint and thinner in a glass, and while stirring I saw if the viscosity was about right or not for the AB. Nowadays I either use Tamiya acrylics thinned with isopropanol or airbrush-ready automotive stuff. The only paint I really do mix by an exact ratio is 2k clear (clear/ hardener/ thinner ratio)...

Great model, flawless in every department!

Me too... wishful thinking! Tyres could be used from the military section, I think. They would have to make a full kit out of it, you cannot hide the Countach V12 inside of the LM002, can you?

3 kits off my wishlist (and the 4th one should have been on it too...)

Lovely color, great Charger!
