  1. Great looking Camaro. Color and detail look very sharp.
  2. Are you going for the "gasser" look on the box art? Or low custom?
  3. Looking forward to this. Great wheel/tire choice, stance looks perfect and the wheel wells look nice and full.
  4. Amazing paint job. The chassis detailing is very nice. Great build.
  5. Nice clean build. That purple is dark and deep, very nice. Glad to hear you found a solution to the glass issue.
  6. Turned out very nice. That orange color really pops. I really like that big ol engine stuffed in there.
  7. Turned out real nice. Love the green and black combination.
  8. Looks good, hope you get the windshield sorted out.
  9. Wow. Its always amazing to me the power of wind. I am guessing that shed is not supposed to be in the middle of the road. Sure hope no one was hurt. Stay safe in the clean up.
  10. Mine was a young model builder's club 1/32 (I believe) Ford Mustang. It came with an F-16 kit also, in a plain-ish brown box.
  11. Reminds me of the timing chain failures on the GM DOHC 3.6 VVT engine. Chains were "stretching" with as little as 10,000 miles.
  12. I think the "toy appearance" stems from the lack of depth in scale. A good wash will add that depth and give the chrome pieces a better, more scale appearance.
  13. Found this at antique store for $10, still factory sealed. Figured it will be a great test bed for the new airbrush.
  14. Are the Createx line of paints ever on 40% off? If so, is it the same rotation as models? Thanks.
  15. They look right at home on those trucks. Nice builds guys.
  16. That means I have to buy another kit, as I don't have any of those in the stash. Darn it all, off to the hobby store I go.....
  17. Thanks guys. I guess I am baffled as to why a model company would make molds with parts not useable on the kits they are included with. Maybe the tree started life as something else? The other parts are in-line six stuff and some custom pieces, and a FREBIRD license plate thingy. I am sure I will find a use for them somewhere.
  18. These wheels are on the chrome tree of the AMT 69 firebird trans am kit. What would they be for? The rally type wheel option on the tree has 5 lugs. They look to me like something off a 90s Blazer.
  19. Walking into the Fleet Farm last night, stopped and chatted with the owner of an all numbers matching, fairly original (convertible top replaced, stainless brake and fuel lines, epoxied frame) 1965 GTO. Charcoal blue, dark (blue or black) interior with a white top. He bought it in the early 80s, has owned it since. Original tri-power motor, 4 speed, all drum brakes. Still has the AM radio. Had aftermarket 5 spoke grey (day 2ish) wheels. All numbers matching and documented from Pontiac. Stunning car to me. He offered it for sale, I didn't even ask a number. A truly beautiful car. And I completely forgot to take any pics.
  20. Great build, love all the detail work. Its amazing how a base coat can so drastically change the color coat.
  21. I'll be watching this, as my dad wants me to build one of his long gone 1:1.
  22. My first model was a 1/72 F4F wildcat. Then Dad signed me up for the Young Model Builder's club and my first car was a 1/32 65? Mustang (no idea who made the kit). The kit came in a brown box along with a 1/72 F-16 with a red, white and blue paint job.
  23. Sweet looking 442. The details and trim look amazing. The color is definitely eye catching.
  24. Saw a couple antiques on the road so I followed them into town. Its some sort of tour group. Packard, Pacers, Rolls' and others. I know next to nothing about these cars, but they are very interesting and in very nice condition.
