Great group! Where did you get the wheels for the '55, the '67 Chevelle and the GTO?

Nice builds. One and all.

Are you creating all these custom bodies from scratch or are they 3D printed?

Thank you Lee. I wanted an updated look. Thank you Lucas. 🙂

Very nice build. I almost started mine last year. I even bought a Gen III Hemi for it. But alas, the squirrels distracted me elsewhere.

100% acetone is great for removing dried paint from your airbrush or other metallic objects. I would be fearful to get it on any styrene surface.

The driver or the engine?

I'm with Steve, I got the bulk of my stash from 2001 to 2005 when ebay (and shipping) were reasonable. Model shows are the best for running across what you may be looking for but then you are in a room full of people looking for the same thing and knowing what they are worth. The needle in a hay stack is finding a garage sale of a deceased model collector being run by one of their children looking for fast cash.

I bought them from Auslowe. They appear to be hair or fiber from a soft brush. When I painted them white, the paint beaded up evenly by accident. It was as though there was oil in the strand. Anyway, it makes for an accidental simulation of wire wrapped fiber glass rod. The tip is simply a dip in Testors red enamel.

Thank you Rooster. Black and gold are a good look together.

Great job on the mods you are doing. I built two of these a few years ago. The extra frames make for some easy mods. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/151693-brbo-2020-triple-drive-white-freightliner-done/#comment-2231905 https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/150940-white-freightliner-coe-day-cab-dual-drive/

Nice models. You got 4 more done than I did.

Wow! I like the lighting. I would love to have a GT/CS.

I'm liking the Zombie Beetle. I would not mess with THAT girl though...

Very nice Bees indeed.

I used Testors bottle enamel thinned 50/50 with hardware store lacquer thinner. I love the results.

That turned out very nice. You just need to add some animal "pellets" to the bed. Unless, of course, your critters are housebroken.

My Dad had a 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Brougham. Before I was born in in 1961. He told me about that mini bar set up. He shared that owning that car was such a divorcee magnet. You know... the women that marry for love, get divorced, then work on marrying for money.

I like your style.

Way Cool! I love your variety. My favorite is the diorama.

I enjoy the videos but I just watch the beginning and the end. I also helps me steer away from curbsides and low piece count chassis. If I want to learn what fantastic looks like. I watch how you do things. My results are not as good but I learn new techniques and get to be pleased with the result.

Very impressive batch. I love the Ford truck.

Very nice batch of builds. Do you have links to the WIPs?

I like the big ones too. My dad had 67 Chrysler 300. A buddy in High School got us around in his mom's 75 Cadillac Sedan DeVille. I've owned a 71 Ford Country Squire station wagon. Woodgrain and all. Most all of my adult rides have been 71-72 Pontiac Grand Prixs. While not the largest car, I actually had to reject houses when my wife and I were house hunting because it would not fit in the garage.

I have a few ideas for some sportsman drag racers to include trailers and tow rigs. But my next big project is a temporary replacement 455 for my 1:1.
