Oh man, you Anton surely don't cross the fence where it sits the lowest. The suspension in this kit really is great and it deserves to be seen.

Headlights, blinckers and some other small stuff still missing. And then it's done.

Oh man, that's the way to do it! Could not have been made any better than that.

I'd go this way, if I could. I don't have a full kit and this kind of wheels, so I can only dream... Maybe the gold tone wheels would be a good choise too.

And then I didn't like that crispy green colour. So I repainted the body, this time much more lame tone. I think it's better this way. But will this be the final colour, nobody knows.

Thanks again everyone. Today I painted the body with Tamiya spray. Two thin coats and the several wet coats. Only one noticeable spot on the driver side fender, no big problem. Now I'll let it dry, meanwhile I can put some wires to the engine bay etc.

Thanks you all. The glass matter is a question still, I have one 635csi wind screen I'll try on this, but maybe make a new one out of clear plastic as all the other windows too. Today the body got the first primer to show all the dents and scratches. Not too bad, minor putty fix and maybe tomorrow new paint on it.

Very good looking kit you have there, great parts to work with. I use 635csi parts on my project 745i, but I don't know what manufacturer they are originally, some are Fujimi and some are Tamiya for sure. The low stance suits well on 635csi, and with no chrome it will look superb.

Here's one in ebay to start with.

More stuff into the power barn.

When I put the turbo charger and an intercooler in the power barn, this BMW can wear the 745i badge in the trunk lid.

Now I have installed BMW 750i interior with some shaping to the dash to look more like e23 style.

Thanks. The story behind this BMW police toy is very thin. I got the body and a pile of 635/750 parts. No windows for this body. The chassis was a friction operating and it only said "Made in Macao", nothing else. Anton, I will keep your kind offer in mind.

Something different now. I got my hands on this ex-police car toy, and after the body was cut in half and made less wide, it started to look quite good. Then I cut the hood open. The interior is taken from BMW 750 kit, with some mods. The chassis is from BMW 635 CSi kit, and it was also made a bit longer. The 6 cyl engine is also from 635 CSi kit. It will have a turbo installed like the top of the line e23 745i had.

I give you one pic, because it's not my own real car. He's got two sets of wheels and I could choose which ones I put under the model. Also the real car now has Hoosier rear tires.

Hi you all. Lindberg Olds 442 2d ht got some modifications to become a replica of a Finnish street race car, 4door Cutlass. Engine SBC, TH350, 9" rear. I scratch made some parts to the engine bay, interior is two tone with racing bucket seats. Wheels are taken from '66 Pro Street Nova, just made some modifications to them. Lots of self made decals in the rear window. Tamiya white spray paint.

Thanks everybody, also the owner of the real Valvoline-Barracuda was very pleased when he came to see this model.

Hello, a quick build, AMT Laurel&Hardy model kit with great figures. But these gents were just meant to sit tight in the front bench under the roof, so I made some adjustments. Now Mr. Hardy has a plaster on his foot, while Mr. Laurel is trying to get their Ford running. I left some kit parts unused to make things look more simple, brush painted the body and made the chrome dull. I would have put older wooden style rims on it to look older style, if I had any. I like the faces of them figures, they really have recogniseable chracter on them. Great little kit, fun to build.

I wanted to give this funny kit some extra flavour, so Ollie got his foot put in plaster, as seen in one of their marvelous films. Ollies jacket looks quite wet, perhaps he met a bucket of water too. Ford is ok, but I'd rather put some "wooden spoke" rims to it, but don't have any. Maybe some weathering too, as this duos vehicles were never like new looking.

This car is a replica of a Finnish drag race car. 1/4 mile best 9.51 sec. and 234 km/h top speed. (Miami Vice Racing). Chevy BB 461 cid 650hp, 2sp Powerglide, Ford 9". Model is made by using MPC '69 Barracuda body, lots of scratch building and kit bashing involved. Spray painted, self made decals. No 3d printed or after market parts.

Done. Ready to hit the strip.

Next step is to put the decals on. I'm making all the decals too.

Thanks Ray, Today I got the painting done.

Thanks John and Luke, I really really like this kind of building. I get no kicks if trying to build straight from the box. Those few box stock models just stay stalled in the cabin... Today I sprayed the primer and white coat on the body.

Thanks Stephen. I just asked the owner of the real car, what colour should the cabin floor be...? All black interior, he said. Oh well, here it goes. Atleast the shifter can be shiny. And all black paint hides that over size tubing, kinda.
