  1. I'm not a big fan of 71 and up Chargers but you really did this one justice. Beautiful work.
  2. Good looking workhorse. The mismatched hood gives it character.
  3. Well done.
  4. Great looking paint job there. I built this kit a couple years back, wanted it Panther Pink but could not get it to come out right. After the third time sending it for a swim I went with Testors arctic blue with white interior. This is an excellent kit, no fit issues that I recall. I have another one but haven't decided what color to paint it yet. Leaning heavily toward plum crazy. I have always liked that color.
  5. My daily driver. 2015 F150. I can't believe how hard it is to find a 4 or 5 year old truck that is not beat. If you want some entertainment walk into a dealer and tell them you want a regular cab truck. Every dealer I walked into they looked at me like I landed in a flying saucer and was a little green man. Nothing but 4 doors everywhere. I remember a time when you couldn't give a 4 door truck away. How times have changed. My now spare truck. 95 F150 that I got brand new Halloween of 94. Still in great shape body wise, 265,000 mi. on the ticker. 4.9 5 speed. Has been a workhorse since day one. It has literally been used as a garbage truck, it saved our hides a few times when I was in the trash biz. I'll have it till I'm dead. My pleasure horse. 2014 Honda CB1100. This is the best of all the retro bikes out there. Very fun toy.
  6. Beautiful work. I really need to try my hand at weathering.
  7. I wonder how many shovels full per mile that truck gets.
  8. Impressive. That is someone with too much time on his/her hands. I wonder how many tries it took to get it.
  9. Beautiful work. If you didn't mention it most people would think this was a regular kit. That paint in the sunlight reminds me of the original hot wheels "spectra flame" colors they had. Great save.
  10. That came out real nice. Always nice to be able to get a redo of these old kits. I have a few AMT trucks that I got to do over to make up for the ones I butchered when I was a young'un. I really wish I still had some of my models from back then. But like many of us on here mine met the their fate with fireworks.
  11. That is beautiful I have overlooked these Italeri kits due to the price of them but I may have to buck up and try one.
  12. Now that's different. Looks great. That is gonna take up some major shelf space.
  13. This is way cool. Brings back memories. I was a trash man many years ago. Now for some 1/25 scale trash stench? Looking sharp so far.
  14. I haven't seen one of these in a bazillion years. Forgot all about them. Just like the Saab Sonnet I saw cruising thru my hood last weekend.
  15. Looks great. I haven't seen one of these driving around here in a long time.
  16. Too cool. I think about trying a diorama but that's as far as it ever gets.
  17. That is some beautiful scratch building. It's hard to believe they never kitted these up and also the 70 Ranchero.
  18. Very nice. I like that used but not abused look.
  19. Beautiful work there. You could build another one of these and it could be the load for this one. I wish they had more 1/32 truck kits.
  20. Very nice. I also used to watch this as a young 'un. I don't recall the Shelby on that show.
  21. Beautiful work there. The Whamo wheelie bar on the back of that bike is a nice touch.
  22. Thanks Jerry. Interior colors were Rustoleum metallic champagne bronze and Rustoleum satin saphire. I don't believe these trucks ever came with a blue interior but I wanted it. Artistic license?
