Sweet build. Wonderful detail under the hood.

Great looking sled! Beautiful detail work.

Razor sharp Ford, Steven! Love that color!

I never thought I’d say anything nice about an El Camino, but yours is a drop-dead stunner. The stance, the wheels, the tricked-out exhaust, the paint...... Just, Wow! Beautiful!

Without cursing I’m having trouble finding the words to describe the utter beauty of this Mopar build. All it’s lacking is a blue ribbon pinned to it!

Good looking Chevy!

Built from the Monogram Pro-Modeler kit. The photo etched “T”s fell prey to the carpet monster, so no markings above the gills on this one. I used the aftermarket valve covers for no really good reason. For whatever reason, decals have been whipping my butt lately, the stripes on this one were no exception. Certainly not my best effort but I’m always finding new areas to try to improve upon next time. Thanks for looking. As always, comments, tips, pointers and critiques are welcome.

Well done!

Love it!

The pouch of Red Man and the rag in the filler sealed the deal for me. Awesome build!

Wow! Fantastic Nova. Awesome detail job!

Sweet looking GTO!

Great looking Nickey! I really dig the color choice.

Bee-utiful Mopar! Love the steelies!

I think you knocked the paint job outta the park. That is supercool!

One of my dream cars as a teenager. Great looking model!

Really nice looking ‘57s there. What color did you use on the lighter one?

Nice work! 3 sharp Vettes you got there.

A fine looking build. Great job with that black paint! It looks a mile deep!

Great looking build despite the issues.

I ordered them from Hobbylinc.com. The biggest issue was self-imposed as I messed up the paint.....twice. As for the kit itself; the decals would not stick, anywhere, to any surface. As soon as the microset dried they’d fall right off. I ended up using a dab of Elmer’s clear paste to hold them in place. The two-piece vent window/frames were anxiety inducing because the tabs were microscopic and I dreaded the thought of mucking up the paint job with glue. Also, the angle did not match that of the A-pillar. The front bumper/grill/roll pan is all one piece on the chrome tree. (I found that odd since it seemed Lindberg went out of their way to give me a headache with so many other small parts and sub-assemblies.) So that required extra paint prep that I feel was unnecessary. The front assembly was also the worst fitting part of the entire kit. I did a lot of sanding, trimming and shaving to get it mated up properly. The forced air intake hoses had to be heated with a lighter and reshaped to follow the contours properly so that the hood would close completely. I know it’s all part of modeling. No kit is perfect, and frankly, I like a good challenge. Everywhere else this kit went together like a dream, but the bad spots were so shockingly bad. Thank you to you and everyone the compliments and for looking.

I like customs when they’re not completely over the top. I love this one. Great looking build.

Built from the Lindberg kit. Paint is Tamiya Light Blue Pearl over white primer with Testors Ultra Gloss clear. Interior is the same paint over white primer and gray primer on the insets of the seats. Wheels and tire are from the Revell ‘56 Del Ray kit. Disc brakes are Pegasus. Not my best effort for sure. Very fiddly kit that tried my patience more than I’d like to admit. As always, comment, questions and suggestions are welcome.

Another fine Ferrari indeed. I have that kit in my stash and it looks like a beast. Great job on it.

Really nicely done! Diggin’ that color too!
