  1. That looks good! Nice paint job!
  2. Nice idea, like it!
  3. I will follow that build because I have a ´70 300 Kit, too. Mine does not have an engine bay and has a built-in hood (so I´m a little bit jealous). I will send my bumpers to a company that did some chrome plating for me before. It´s not the cheapest way but it looks definitely better than Alclad, BMF or Molotow.
  4. I will watch this closely! I need to improve my painting (and masking) skills and this looks very interesting
  5. Well done! There was a similar Focus in my neighborhood some years ago. I remember the sound of it very well, because it ripped me out of my dreams EVERY morning!
  6. Thanks a lot, guys! Phil, I´m a big D´Agostino fan, too and I´m planning to build more of his beautiful creations!
  7. Looking good so far. Love the phantom 3 window style!
  8. To be honest, I´m not a big fan of the rear spoiler. But the front view is awesome! I love that "angry" look of the ´70 Coronet and it definitely looks great with the black paint! Also love the V10 power plant!
  9. Hi guys, here is another iconic custom car that I tried to rebuild in scale, John D´Agostinos Golden Starfire. Here the original car: And my scale version: It was built from a Jimmy Flintstone resin curbside kit of a ´61 Oldsmobile Super 88 with a few retouches and additional parts: All trim, emblems and handles were shaved. The hood was cut from the body and I inserted the engine bay of an AMT ´62 Chevy Bel Air along with the front part of the frame/chassis and the engine. The Bel Air also donored its window glass. The suspension was lowered and I used wire wheels from my spare parts with custom hubcaps and AMT parts pack´s wide whites. The ´60 Mercury grille with the Lucas headlights came from AMT´s ´59 El Camino kit. The interior tub and seats are ´63 Impala parts and I scratch built a center console and tuck´n´roll upholstery, he steering wheel is a Modelhaus item. A scratch built trim bar was placed between ThePartsBox custom bullet taillights. Thanks for looking, hope you like it.
  10. Cool! The mild chop looks good!
  11. Wow, you really nailed the early 60s-style! Great build, love it!
  12. The chop looks nice! Will follow this one...
  13. Awesome!
  14. Nice collection! I especially like the ´36 Ford and the ´49 Merc.
  15. Very nice scale version of a very nice 1:1 Hot Rod!
  16. Nice work, Michael! Looks really good!
  17. Thanks for the feedback! I always thought that the Gremlin was smaller than the Pacer, too. According to the boxes, both kits are 1/25th scale. Maybe one of them is not correctly scaled?
  18. Great color choice and very well executed!
  19. I really like these "never-thought-of-that"-themed builds! Well done!
  20. Great build. The nice wheels and the stance gives it a mean look and the engine looks convincible. I really like that "driven" look!
  21. Awesome build with great detail work! Thumbs up!
