62 MOPAR Transporter
AmericanMuscleFan replied to Mopar - D's topic in Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Beautiful Dan! There aren't many models from this era that I don't like... it must have been torture to choose one in particular in the dealer's yard at the time! -
Heavy Haul Project
AmericanMuscleFan replied to Mopar - D's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
The term "Heavy Duty" is a euphemism with this transporter Dan! It must not be able to turn on a dime... -
You are the master of the fire Jim! I love the roof chop you've made, just enough! I would dare to say that just the first base of candy lemon would have been satisfactory for me on one of my build, you have an undeniable talent with painting my friend!!! ?

Jo-Han Maverick-Dyno Don's Ride
AmericanMuscleFan replied to mustang1989's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Glad to see you back on the Maverick Joe! Better late than never buddy... Clever idea for the fenderwells by the way! ? -
I bought one too, mine has been shipped on September 15 and the parcel left RIGA for my country (Canada) on September 18. I have no idea about the transit time nor the quality of their products but I had to take a chance. I never bought anything from these guys but couldn't resist... the subject is too cool and I can't see the day when one will be released from the usual manufacturers...!

Thanks for the info Dan! I will dig in the section to find the original threads if you made any... I'm curious and very interested of course... ? -
1955 Big Block Truck
AmericanMuscleFan replied to Lorne's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I am glad to see you progressing on this beautiful little truck Lorne! Any update is a move in the right direction. Those components are simply awesome! ? -
WOW, superb job Jim! This is a super clean job and I really love that cool body shell. You can be proud of it sir!!! ?
-
Very beautiful build Mark, the paint job and the decals are awesome! It's obvious that you know your subject and I love the story behind the car. I assume the 305 cu. in. engine is the one we can see in the last pic!?
-
Very cool build Tim! I love those big Plymouth and it's very sad that Chrysler left the NASCAR, it was a great battle of the big three back then. I didn't know the story behind this car so thanks to MarkJ for all the details about the racing team!
-
Very good job John! Very beautiful color combo and great Bare Metal work all around the car. I do love the '56 Chevy and yours is a perfect rendition of the real car! Well done sir!!!
-
Very good work Terry! Your new hinghes look great. Hope you won't have too much trouble with your A pillars, they are probably very fragile now and I was forced to reinforce mine on my current pickup build. I started with a 58 year old body shell but yours is a newer kit and certainly less brittle than mine. Great job so far, keep doing your good work!!!

Very beautiful Dodge CTN Dan! I've always loved those old Dodge trucks and this older thread is worth returning to be seen by new members and some not so new... like me... The delivery will be rather interesting by the way! ? -
Beatiful build of a beatiful car Mark! That blue color fits perfectly on this Desoto and you have done a superb Bare Metal job all around the car. Nice looking car from the end of the exuberant car era with endless rear fenders... I LOVE it! ?

1974 Plymouth Satellite "Sundance Special"
AmericanMuscleFan replied to Michael Kröger's topic in Model Cars
Very beautiful build Michael ! My dad had a '75 Plymouth Fury painted the same bronze color and a beige vinyl half roof. The interior was also with a pretty similar design. Good memories... I've never seen a Sundance Special car (I didn't know this version was produced either) but your version is very cool. Well done sir!!! ☀️ -
4Runner
AmericanMuscleFan replied to zaina's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Very nice job on the wheels Andy! I think the last set you printed looks more sturdy. The bedlock rings on the first set are very beautiful too but I think the wheels give more a show truck look IMHO. What brand or type of 3D printer do you have, SLA or FDM? The parts look very nice and crisp. Keep doing your good work sir! -
64 Dodge D100 Pickup Pro Street
AmericanMuscleFan replied to AmericanMuscleFan's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Thank you Mr. Laski, it's an honor to get the positive comments of a great builder like you! I know this type of build is definitely not to everyone's taste but I hope to bring it to the finish line... someday... The continued support of forum members is like fuel for my engine... Thanks again! Take care, Francis -
Very beautiful Charger Wayne! I always loved the Rod Shop team paint scheme! The stance is perfect!

Boss 49: A pro-touring scratch-built 49 Ford Coupe
AmericanMuscleFan replied to Claude Thibodeau's topic in Model Cars
Thanks Claude but I don't deserve this compliment... I also have 3 brand new sealed kits of these in my collection and another one that was already built that I bought at a models show many years ago. I immediately identify the engine by the oil pan... These engine were molded with the Lenco transmission attached if I remember well so I assume you replaced it by a something more conventional? I can't see clearly from the pics and your floor pan act as the lid of a treasure chest...? -
Very beautiful build Craig! We don't see the '67 model year very often, and it's nice to see how well you've done yours! I love the color and the hood you chose, it's prettier than the one on the box, at least according to my taste. Well done sir!!!
-
Fantastic job Mike! Great save of a beautiful and elegant Ford! This one could be a good candidate for the "Bring Out Your Dead" completion build. Well done sir!!!

1960 Ford F-100
AmericanMuscleFan replied to Plowboy's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Very nice job Roger! I really love the steel wheels with the dog dishes. The front grille needs to stay a light color IMHO to see all of the details you have done. -
Very cool build Joe! The details are pretty amazing for a 1/35 scale model so I would be curious to see what they could have achieved at 1/25 scale! However, I understand that the military world is something else and 1/35 scale is common in this category. You added your own touch to it (nice details too) and I know that you had some good time building it so it's all that matter!!! Well done buddy!!!
