    I agree that the Revell Nomad on the beach would make a good puzzle. Always liked that one.
  2. AMT68
    That's a spectacular job. I'm coming into the final building stages of this kit but I don't know if mine will look as nice as yours.
  3. AMT68
    That is sharp looking especially with the red interior.
  4. AMT68
    Nice polishing job as the paint reflects beautifully. I have this kit unbuilt and haven't decided whether or not to add a vinyl top.

    This is a very good idea by Round 2 especially given the retro box art they've featured in recent years. Wouldn't mind seeing the '69 Olds 442 or the '70 Monte Carlo as a puzzle.

    Outstanding work Mike and I've been looking forward to seeing this one complete. The gold/black combination is great and it's detailed superbly throughout. Didn't realize these could be ordered as lower priced 442 clones but then that's more or less what Pontiac did with the T-37 LeMans and Chevrolet did with the Heavy Chevy Chevelle.

    It appears to be a clean looking body with well defined panel lines around the doors. Didn't realize there wasn't a back seat on this one. And yeah, I've joined the club having just received the MPC '79 Nova a couple of days ago and looking forward to building mine.

    Okay, well thank you for the information on the clear coat.

    Glad to hear Rustoleum's Gloss Lacquer performs well as I purchased a can online a month ago and wondered about it's capabilities.

    I actually occasionally enjoy investing the time in not so great kits. While my skills are definitely still a work in progress I was reasonably satisfied with what I did with the MPC '79 Trans Am.
  11. AMT68
    Nice score. Those kit values have soared in the past couple of years.
  12. AMT68
    Those look good but I'll probably just fill the hole in the top of the seats I have if I don't wish to use the headrests that come with the kit.

    After hearing less than stellar reviews on the AMT '67 GTO model kit I debated purchasing one. Finally decided I wanted to accept the challenge and see what I could do with one. Opened the box upon receiving today in the mail and I have to say it will take some time and patience to build this one. But it's all good though.

    Beautiful job overall. I've heard the decals can be tricky on this one and yours are spot on.
  15. AMT68
    Just received one of these in mail today and will follow this thread as there is much valuable information here.

    After seeing Gareth's impressive stock version of this MPC Squad Rod Nova I decided to acquire one myself and build a factory style Nova.

    Thanks for the link as it was very informative. I had previously considered Tamiya's TS-84 Metallic Gold since I was looking for a color that was comparable Solar Gold for a Pontiac Trans Am I plan on building. After watching this video I think TS-87 (Titanium Gold) will suffice.

    I generally like them factory stock but that's a nice find Mike.
  19. AMT68
    The horsepower of that Vette doesn't matter because it still looks much better than most new cars these days in my opinion.
  20. AMT68
    Interesting fact as I've considered purchasing a can of TS-84 and would've cleared over it.
  21. AMT68
    I agree with you 100 percent. They apply beautifully right out of the can (I don't have an airbrush) and TS-13 clear can be rubbed out to a high polish.
  22. AMT68
    Been debating purchasing this kit but haven't found one at the right price. Did a search to see a completed one when I came across this very impressive build. I have to say the color combination is so appropriate for the era and so is the vinyl top.
  23. AMT68
    Nicely detailed motor.
  24. AMT68
    Looks like three Tamiya paints which I've yet to try and seem interesting.
  25. AMT68
    Nice looking display case and something I'd consider building as my collection grows. Adjustable shelves like this one are definitely the way to go.
