This was a box-stock build of Revell's '48 Ford Convertible, the only change I made was making my own license plates. Paint is Maize Yellow by ScaleFinishes. A full writeup of what went into this build is available here, any comments/criticisms are welcome!

Built from Fujimi's Daytona Speciale kit with a few alterations to look like Sonny Crockett's ride from the first two seasons of Miami Vice. The changes include deleted wing windows, square headlights, square mirrors, and a car phone. I didn't want to go full "kit car" (as represented by the Revell kit), but I did like the idea of the car being personalized over the years. A full writeup of what went into this build is available here, any comments/criticisms are welcome!

I dig it, too. Certainly not the strangest car in Batman's garage, and with that engine it should perform admirably!
-
Great color for it, nicely done!

Classy looking Riv, nice work!

AMT Chevy Rescue Van Ambulance

I feel your pain...I just wrapped up one of these kits earlier this year, and it's not the easiest to work with as far as getting things straight on it. Looks like you've got all the broad strokes down and know where you need to go from here, so I'm looking forward to seeing the Odyssey! -
"Kei car, K-car, or kei jidōsha (軽自動車, lit. "light automobile") is the Japanese legal category for the smallest and most limited power, highway-legal motor vehicles, including passenger cars (kei cars or kei-class cars), microvans, and Kei trucks (kei-class pickup trucks). Kei-cars are designed to comply with these Japanese regulations, most prominently a vehicle length and width below 3.40 m (11 ft 2 in) and 1.48 m (4 ft 10 in) respectively, and engine volume and power below 660 cc (40.3 cu in) and maximum 64 PS (47 kW; 63 hp). They enjoy both tax and insurance benefits, and in most rural areas are also exempted from the requirement to certify that adequate parking is available for the vehicle."

Love the athletic tape as Volcano Wrap, that's brilliant!
-
So far so good!

If you can get the stub out of the wheel, Rat Roaster's idea is the best way to get a strong and correctly aligned repair.

Congrats on the new camera! When polish gets into panel lines like that, I usually take a toothpick or toothbrush to help get it cleaned out. You'll want to get it as clean as possible before you repaint.

Nice clean work, that looks great! -
Count me in, too. I've been wanting an Imperator for years, and have almost but not quite talked myself into a full scratchbuild. Seeing what you do here may push me one way or the other!
-
Thanks, guys! I haven't checked it directly against the newer tool but that's what I've heard. I'll be converting it to a non-RS front end, hopefully fixing the weird headlights in the process.
-
Very cool! I have the Black Beauty from this series, and yeah - it'll need a ton of work to get right...much respect for what you did here! Glad I went with Planet X and Jimmy Flintstone for The Car and Batmobile.
-
Nice job on both of them! I always kind of liked the look of the AZ-1, it's like a miniaturized Ford RS200.
-
That wide stance and swooping bodywork are great!
-
Nicely done, you did some really clean work on this.
-
The lower front fascia struck me as too tall, too, but yeah - those tiny headlights are the real killer. Will do! Since that post I've been checking prices on some of these kits, and I'll definitely have to give the '69 a shot.

Thanks guys! I think I have a '77 Camaro, I know I have one of the weird-bodied '70½ Z-28 kits. I forgot about the Beetle, I had one years ago but parted it out. Didn't know the Firebird was in that list, too. Thanks for the suggestions! Was that the one that was released as the Riptide Corvette at one point? If so, I do have one of those done:
