Too cool for school...

Great looking fleet there.

Superb job all around here. Got that total 70s vibe.

Beautiful scratch building. That was the best packer ever. The trash and sludge in the bottom is a nice touch.

Beautiful work there.

Sometimes it seems like this hobby is one big blunder..... I've learned over the years to think things through a bit better. Like when I spent 30 or so hours filling/sanding on this Vandal body before I realized the body was warped? And this A100 I built years ago. I found a couple pieces of brass rod that fit perfect through the bumper holes. Worked perfect to paint it but then I couldn't get the rods out after I got paint all over them. I have become better at fixing my screw ups, not to mention some of the blunders from the kit makers. But this is what keeps it entertaining.

Very nice. I agree it looks much better as a tandem axle.

That looks great. That is a tough one to foil. The next one will be much easier and faster. I hated BMF the first time I tried it but now it's much easier to deal with.

Chrome smoothies.

Good looking plow horse.

That's a beautiful bug.

Beautiful work.

I have that same file set. Don't know what I would do without them. Those mini drills look interesting. Who makes them?

That "turd" certainly polished up nice. Looks great.

That's cool. I haven't seen a Quadravan in many years.

Very well done. I have never built an Italeri kit mostly due to the cost. But I may have to splurge and pick one up. And the fact that you did that in 3 weeks is impressive. I feel like I am doing well to get a truck done in 3 months.

It looks like a tidy conversion. My first thought was I would hate to have to wrench on it. I wonder what transmission/t case and axles its running. I would like to get a 2 door Cherokee but are very hard to find. Most are beat.

Testors arctic blue would be a close match.

Wow, talk about shoehorned in. Looks like fun.

You hit a homer with this one. Great stance, got that nice 70s vibe going. Love that color.

Came out great. These newer Revell kits are nice.

Good lookin little Dodge. I built one of these years ago, stock with stock wheels and dog dish caps. Pretty good kit overall. No worries about missing motor, can't see it anyway. Some guys mentioned the doors being very difficult but I didn't find them all that bad. I don't recall a bed cover being in the kit, or did you make it? If this kit comes back I'll get another one.

I called in well today, made this a George Jetson week? Got a call from my local Hobbytown and told me my garbage packers came in. Wasn't expecting them till mid Oct. Supposed to be a cool drizzly day tomorrow so hope to get started on one of them. I'm gonna try my hand at weathering.

Great scratch building.

Very nice. That rigging must have eaten up some time.
