Welcome to the board! hope you find inspiration and looking forward to se what you work on!

Made some progress, not really on the impala but I managed to put couple of coats of putty on the Mb that got its paint stripped. the Impala got some attitude added in the boot and I covered a BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAHup with a suiting sticker. Tire Slayer.. I also added a California plate.. not that it should’t have anything else than a Swedish plate. I did also replace the dash decal with a bigger one, same text. 🙂 and don’t worry I have not glued the body to the interior yet due to I am not sure I am done with body of works yet. o and I did mend the broken chrome work.

I have totally missed the finishing of this one! Came out great, as always!

A real beauty! Good work!

That truck came out absolutely beautiful! The white paint job looks super, I am dreading white since it’s to easy to make it look like plastic. Al details are just spot on as usual!

Great build Francis! Every part looks 10/10!

That’s a bad as Chevy! Your scratch work is always impressive! Will be raging along for the ride and might take one of my 1/16 out again.

Nice build!

I built my first car kit in the mid '90s probobly in 1996 or 1997 around age 10, the first car kit was a 1957 Corvette that i hand painted. to try to make it look like the box art. I do have it in a box in pieces since i at some point decided to restore it.. now i am thinkin of gluing it back as is. Second kit was a Blazer. First overall kit was a small 2 seater aircraft that i glue bombed.

It’s a Swedish icon, and as I mentioned I started this build in 2003 or something like that with the intention of making a tru replica, but that does not work for me 😂 The driver is also a legend and used to work at the biggest carmag over here (a bit like friburger in a sense). i don’t think there is a class for it but it would be cool if there was! 😁 but EV’s would probably destroy such a class. The idea of the trailer have crossed my mind, even gotten some basic files to start with in the computer. I don’t know about the wing mirrors.. would ruin the look/stance I belive. thanks for checking in!

Thank you Titino!

Thanks allot!

Nice work on that vent! Regarding the kit you are looking for. The black one with flames is the same kit. And it also have the same flares for example. https://www.super-hobby.se/products/Ford-Rat-Roadster-1932.html

I put some paint on the parts, glued the wheelie bars and dry fitted the pull bar.

Thanks David, and thank you for taking your time to respond it’s much appreciated! I have not done that much last days due to other things but did this tow bar for trailer and caravan. The inspiration for this build have had the world record on 402 meters with a caravan behind. So of course this need to have it!

Looks great!

Nice detail work with the straps and all!

Nice build! And great work on the interior details, your electrical boxes came out great!

Thanks! I do believe these need some tire profile to look good 🙂

Nice detailing and weathering! Looks splendid!

Nice work on that truck!

Thanks Chris! Thank you Carl! Thank you! 😊

Nice bug!

Thought I update on my Impala details.. for my own sake only so to speak 🙂 btw, all carpets in this one are from a whey tissue that I washed before letting it dry and after gluing it in with white glue I painted it. Looks like the real deal to me. Builds a bit of thickness though.
