Thanks Guys, Much Appreciated!

Looking to improve on the 81 Camaro Snap Kit Revell tried to pass off as a Skill Level 4. Not a bad kit as long as you go into it knowing what to expect.

Thank you for the great compliment! When I got back into the hobby a few years ago, never thought I would be the guy who inspires others. In a world that sometimes feels overrun with noise and negativity, I'm glad to be one of the folks (there are many out there if you look) adding something positive.

Thanks Everybody, Much Appreciated!

53 AMT 3in1 Body/Interior with a 55 Monogram Classic Cruiser Engine/Frame. Did my best to replicate the 1:1 shown in the picture taken in the woods. As always thanks for looking.

Thanks for the background and classic pictures. Not sure I’ll ever have the modeling skills to pull something like that off. Only one way to find out I guess…

Came across this on the web. Has anyone ever seen this before or is this guy the best kit basher ever? Can’t imagine how much one would cost if real but I’d love to have one.

Thank You and thanks for sharing the Brutox it’s very cool 😎

Photos attached are of a Zoid Berserk Fury from the 90's Japanese Anime Zoids. First pic is what it looks like when built straight out of the box. Other 3 are my customizations. Supposed to be a battle robot. Didn't make sense to make it look brand new. As always, thanks for looking.

Using sprue to make spindles is a great idea, thanks for sharing! Should really help in my never-ending quest to lower every model I build. Love this hobby but I suffer from a severe lack of creativity, vision, and/or imagination. Rest assured any model car cool idea I might have was “appropriated” from someone else. So, thanks again!

Thanks for Looking!

Anybody got a complete set of front wheels for the Monogram 55 F-100 they are willing to part with? Would also like the tires if possible. Not sure I have anything cool or in demand enough to trade for something like this, but I am definitely willing to have a conversation about what I do have if anyone is interested in a trade.

One last mockup before final paint, trim detailing, and complete assembly for anyone interested. Everything seems to be going together like it should. The very front of the undercarriage is warped on the passenger side. If I force the body and undercarriage together, the passenger front tire just barely doesn't touch. Fortunately, this small flaw is hidden by the bumper so if I leave it be all 4 tires touch! Last 2 photos are just to see what each type of wheel looks like. I'm going with stock Chevy but the Mag Wheels would also look good. Thanks to everyone who commented / followed along. Should have photos in the under-glass section within the next couple weeks. All comments welcome.

Yes, pulled the bumpers in to try and achieve a cleaner look. Planning to paint them body color. Back bumper is a bit crooked in the photo will try to remedy that when I put it on permanently. Thought about notching out the body so the bumpers sat inside the bodywork (like an old Challenger) but the contour’s just wouldn’t work.
