  1. I did start on a Revell '69 Corvette coupe around 2001, 2002 or 03 there abouts. I got as far as painting the body yellow with a brush and it looked awful, so I put it back in the box and forgot about it. Life and two house moves since I have no idea what happened to it. It might be amongst the junk I have in the attic but I doubt it.
  2. Nice, I like this! Reminds me of the customizing options on the old AMT kits. "Build stock, or go Wild"?
  3. Yes, of course, but how many of those are interested in the hobby enough to know it's a worthwhile venture? When I got in to resin and fibreglass I had no idea there was a such a popular demand for scale model casts. At the time, I hadn't built a model since the early 90's and thought the hobby was long dead until the Gestapo locked everyone up in their homes! Hopefully one good thing to come out of the last couple of years is the younger generation knowing what a lot of us didn't back then, that the hobby is well and truly still alive and certainly worth starting a cottage industry alongside it.
  4. A lot of us here can easily cast parts and kits and do it on a regular basis, but not many have the rare and unusual kits and parts people want. I work in resin, have done for years making parts for classic 1-1 cars but that's because I have the rare parts to make moulds of. I could easily do model kits, but there's no point in me casting something you can find in the store for a few bucks. For someone who has never worked with resin before would not only have to learn the craft, which isn't cheap, but then look for the rare and expensive kits to cast. New blood in this field would require someone very dedicated to the hobby.
  5. Made some arm rests and winder cranks, not great but best I can do. Also filled and shaped the gearbox tunnel for console delete. I might go with a darker blue on the carpet, maybe even black.
  6. That looks good! Colour combo, vinyl roof, all nicely done.
  7. Some progress on the chassis and floor.
  8. Nice work, very clean. Same colour combo I did on mine, including a vinyl roof!
  9. I finally found one, and it wasn't a million quid! Very hard to find in the UK.
  10. Nice work. Love the colour combo.
  11. I like that colour. Cool looking build with those wheels.
  12. wow, nice work.
  13. Good looking build. Paint is clean! very nice.
  14. AMT, but felt like an MPC at times! xD
  15. As I'm going with manual, do you know if the '70 came with bucket seats and floor shift, or column shift and bench? I have looked on the Googles but can't find anything definitive.
  16. I won't say no to that, I'd order one. Then again, I wouldn't say no to almost any kit coming back/never kitted.
  17. Beautiful. I like the correct hubcaps you got on there, wish I could find a set for mine.
  18. Nice build. I love these old sporty Triumphs.
  19. Clean looking chrome work there. I like the colour with the black steeiles, tough looking machine!
  20. Nice looking interior, clean dash and steering wheel detail. Lovely build.
  21. I could do some resin copies for you. The only part I don't have though is the louvered window.
  22. I like your version of the Daytona. ?
  23. Nice wiring work on the engine. That colour really pops in the pictures! Crisp looking build.?
  24. Paint looks good. Nice detail on the dash clocks, and I like the carpet you put in there. Fun looking build.?
