  1. Very realistic. Job well done.
  2. You definitely have your own style. I really like the 66 Chevy.
  3. Well done. All the Cougars are classy cars.
  4. X3
  5. Just got done deflashing the ramp/box. Now that I have a 36" sleeper I am toying with the idea of using the Freightliner pieces to round off the front corners of the box. May be more work than it is worth. We shall see. Here is the pic of the sleeper Sam sent. The pic did not stick to the intended post.
  6. Thank you for sharing. All of the vendors make some nice stuff. Has Double Take ceased operations?
  7. Very nice. It is good to see big rigs get completed.
  8. Very impressive craftsmanship.
  9. WOW! Until I got to the upsidedown chassis pic, I would have sworn that was a 1:1. The fine detail is exquisite!
  10. My sentiments exactly.
  11. Very nice result. I remember building an unpainted bright yellow plastic one in the mid 70's. I was impressed that the folding top worked (at least by my then teenage standards)
  12. Nice! The light green 66 is my favorite.
  13. You could also experiment with food coloring mixed into some Future floor wax. Keep the colors separate until dry. Mix it dark in the dixie cup and apply with a brush. Do not stroke it once it starts to solidify. Clean up with water. If you want to do it over, gently remove with household ammonia.

    2020 Builds

    Very nice! I would love to have that KW in my display case.
  15. A gorgeous group of builds. Turquoise Charger is my favorite.
  16. Thank you so much for sharing. You have some beautiful builds.
  17. It used to happen on occasion. Once I inventoried all my stash on Scalemates.com it ended. When I am at HL or my LHS, I can quickly log in to Scalemates and check my stash. Since they have a very high percentage of all the boxart for reissues it helps me limit or expand my choices on ebay too. I have obtained 95% of the kits I want so now my hobby budget has switched to support items such as paint booth, airbrushes and recently a mini-lathe.
  18. After studying my leftover Freightliner pieces, I have decided that they might be too much of a hassle to make a sleeper from them. However, this build will have a sleeper. Sam just came through for me and has put a parts box 36" sleeper in the mail. So looking forward to making this happen. I need to study if I can use the Freightliner pieces to maybe round off the leading edge of the ramp bed. We shall see. Off to the bench I go!
  19. Way to go (fast)! Nice themed set.
  20. Beautiful builds. My 1st 1:1 car was a Chevelle in that color. I only had it two weeks before it was totaled. The Schwinn is awesome. When I was a kid in the late 60's early 70's that was the bike I wanted.
  21. I like PayPal because payments can be made with out putting my card info into another database that can be hacked. It is also convenient for conducting hassle free payments with fellow modelers.
  22. I have a few of the 'opening door' Tri-five Chevy's in my stash. Everytime I open the box(es), my skillset gets very intimidated.
  23. You should be very pleased with your productivity. Nice builds.
