I typically don't like stock. But, for some reason, I like this model! It really makes me want to build one! Well done!

Doesn't get any better than that! All of the details come together so nicely! The color, wheels and engine really makes this model! Nice work!

That's a cool looking GTX Oliver! Makes me wonder what one would look like murdered out.

Personally, Round2 can do retro boxart on every kit they make. It doesn't matter what's on the box. What matters is what's in the box. I'm certainly not going to complain about it. Especially if it helps sell kits. As always, if you like it, don't buy it. It's that simple.

Here's another method. It's just two different colors of Tamiya putty.

This is why I always sand the entire body before primer (also to ensure that the primer adheres well.). All high spots will be removed and any shiney spots left afterwards show the low spots that need putty.

So do I. I prefer sunlight. But, a guide coat makes it so that low spots will immediately show under any light.

I use a guide coat. It's just a light coat of a different color primer. You could could also do a mist coat of the color you're going to use. Then just sand lightly and any and all low spots will show. Here’s an example. A light coat of white over gray. After sanding.

Very nicely done Tim! I always have an appreciation for a model where the builder takes what just comes in the box and makes the most from it. You've certainly done that! Is the turquoise a new color from Testors? Their Extreme Lacquers usually have horribly out of scale flakes in the paint. That color doesn't have that issue.

It's especially baffling considering the accuracy, proportion and warpage issues of the Moebius Ford pickups. Round2 could just plug and play the '60 as-is and produce a much better looking model right out of the box. Even with the one piece chassis and four piece interior.

I always enjoy seeing your weathered models Mark! You have a true talent for them! Never over or under done. Always just right!

Excellent models Anders! I'm not a fan of stock. But, that El Camino just looks so right with those colors! It combined with the boat makes a perfect match! Nice work!

I really like the base look of this model! The hubcaps really suits it even though they're for a Chevy. I have a LWB stepside planned for someday.

I really like this! The colors you chose suits this model perfect! One of the best examples of this kit that I've seen yet!

This is a beautiful model with excellent work in every nook and cranny that you look at! Congratulations on finishing this work of art Francis!

Nice looking little Chevy truck! You captured the '90s perfectly! I've had a phantom cab and half SS 454 idea rolling around for years. This makes me want to get in on one and build it!

With the overwhelming popularity of the '32 Ford, it's Chevrolet counterpart receives about as much love as an ugly stepchild (no offense to ugly stepkids). They're a pretty rare sight for whatever reason. A rodded Chevy seems to be very rare. Even though I'm a Ford guy, I thought it was time to change that. Since I've stalled on no less than five projects this year, I wanted something simple. No details. No major changes. Just something almost box stock. The idea was to build something that someone could've built in their back yard or building back in the day. The biggest change was the engine. I swapped the anemic six cylinder for the 283 from the Revell '57 Chevy Sedan. I had to modify the belt and pulley setup to get them under the hood. The chrome breather from an AMT '55 Corvette and rocker covers from the parts box finished it off. It was covered with the very last squirt of Tamiya Bright Red. On the chassis, I moved two crossmembers to accommodate the engine, lowered the rearend and did an axle over conversion on the frontend. Luckily, I was able to keep the poseable steering. I cut away the bumper brackets front and rear. Then added a spreader bar up front. It was covered with Dupli Color Bright Red. On the body, all I did was remove the spare tire wells, filled a couple of holes, deleted the horns on the headlight bars and made new stalks for the stock taillights (my kit was missing one). It was then covered with Tamiya Semi Gloss Black. The interior is straight out of the box with different sheens of black and white. Tires are the old Good Year SCS's with painted whitewalls. Wheels are from two different AMT kits for the different offsets painted with Model Masters Semi Gloss Black. As usual, I had some trials and tribulations with this build. I'm definitely not a hot rod builder! But, in the end, I captured the look I was after. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Not my best. Not my worst. But, it'll do. Thanx for checking it out! Now I just gotta decide on which of my five previous projects to work on next!

Nice looking little Malibu David! I like seeing different body styles of the popular cars. To me, they're more unique. Nice work!

That's a sleeper! Although I don't think those skinny Firestones would last very long behind that LS engine.

Very nice! If this model doesn't make you want to build a '70 T/A, check your pulse!

Nice looking Impala Tom! That color suits it perfect! As Rusty mentioned, it looks like it could be a factory color.

Very cool looking Cobra! That color combined with the black gives it a wicked look! Nice work Craig!

All that needs to be done to fix that is cut the flange from the wheel. If the wheelback won't hold to the thin side, glue it to the backside of the wheel. They meet anyway once installed.

I've seen countless builds with the kit wheels installed wrong. The wheel has to be pushed through the front so that that the sidewall goes over the larger lip on the wheel. Done correctly, they fit quite well. I have no experience with the tires from the latest version as I haven't bought it. But, I have seen a build of it with the wheels installed wrong.

Revell fixed the tires in the '78 GMC Big Game pickup. So, they should be fixed in the Blazer too.
