Hi Alan! Thank you for the comments. Actually, when I removed the roof from that 41, it was because I needed it to complete the severe chop on another identical Willys... And guess what: that one became... Rear Engine Powered... (see pix), So, please, complete your Willys, They gonna be "triplets" of sorts. Funny... CT

Hi Marty! Your 62 pushes all the right buttons. Having been built circa '90, we see: pastel colours, cloth interior, massive V10 and Prowler rolling stock. Plus, it is based on an ultra-rare Johan 62. A time capsule of sorts. What's not to like? Keep on modeling. Hours of fun with styrene. That's the goal, no? regards, CT

HI Marty! Nice. Can't help it but love it. Here's the same concept, but with a Johan 68. I also called it the 300V. It's a small world... CT

Hi Roger! Wow, what a wet look paint finish! Impressive. I saw the 1/1 car back in the days, and it was a stunner. Your built is up to par, for sure. I specially like the perfect colour rendering of the "anodized" tin work inside the body. That was one of the signature feature of the Trojan Horse, and you nailed it, bravo! May I ask who makes the decals? The simulated gold leaf lettering looks good... CT

Hi Manuel! It is spot-on for this era. All the requisite parts and body treatment make it totally believable. Paint is very smooth, and the contrasting panels are perfect. Bravo! CT

Thank you Dennis! CT

Well, I could not say it better! Thanks. CT

Thank you Steve! I always tought that the Camino would had been more stylish if built from the Nova platform, not the Chevelle. Well, styrene is a cheap way to live my fantasies, I guess. (talking about the CAR variety, of course...) CT

Hi Kurt! Quite a request from a guy living in dry and sunny Arizona...LOL! I contemplated rusting and piercing the body as the kind of damage you would expect here in the Great White North... But I went for the "southern surface rust" technique instead. Just laziness on my part, I guess... CT

Hi Sir! Well, gotta have it. The joy of styrene is priceless. For all the rest, we have Master Card. I'll order it today. Where is my card... ah, here it is! In these times of vanishing printed media, I will spend countless hours rumaging trough your latest opus. Thank you! CT

Thank you David! CT

Thank you, Sir! It's an honour. I can't help it but notice that you often thank modelers for "sharing" their models on this forum. I agree, but it only makes sense if visitors comment and share their point of view and or advices in return... So thank YOU, Tom! Now, the million dollar unresolved question: We all know there is such a thing as So-Cal... But southern Canada?... I may have stretched the reality a bit, here. Unless it is, say, Niagara or Windsor? Open question... Regards, CT

Thank you James! CT

Thank you Wayne! Much appreciated! CT

Thank you Jim! CT

Thank you David! I built 1/1 rods, so that helps... CT

Thank you Bjarne! CT

Thank you Cliff! CT

Thank you Greg! CT

Hi JP! Well, masterfull, as usual! Bravo. A gentleman in my small town had that car, but in Dove Grey. Your colour and/or Dove gray are perfect for that stately design. May I ask what is the name or code of that GM colour? CT

Thank you Paul! A 1/1 41 Willys is still on my bucket list. Who knows... CT

Thank you, Chef! CT

Hi Francis! I remember this built... In person, I can report that it requires about half an hour to glimpse most of the details. Great! One question for you: I see you installed the famous ACCEL high energy coil. When I look at the pictures, it reminds me that somehow, I always felt this specific coil wa slightly "out of scale", as if it was intended for 1/20 or at least, a larger scale... You have experienced it, what is your opinion? CT

Hi Francis! Thank you... and as matter of fact, you are the FIRST person to mention that I always put a green valve stem cap on all of my builts... Good eyes! CT

Thank you Ray! CT
