All I have done at the bench this year is drag through the Hudson build, no photos yet worth showing. So I will take the liberty to go back a year earlier. I didn't like the body bow that AMT's '58 Plymouth has, so I deciided to tackle that. I really need to finish the Hudson, so I can get back to this one.

Ditto. Except the only thing I do with the internet, is use it. "Woot!" is the same as shouting "YES!" as an expression of happiness, approval, or excitment.

I like the stir stick idea! I can picture splitting one lengthwise, and glue in a thin strip of a dark wood. Any suggestions on type of wood? A moto tool would really help in roughing out the final shape.

I have 2 bottles, but both are old. I have good luck with it, but I have no idea what it has for active ingredients. When I am done, I pour it back in the bottle through a coffee filter that I clothspin to a funnel. One of my 2 bottles has cracked from age, although over time and use the quantity has diminished. Now have less than a bottle left.

I try to store most stuff in a plastic tool box, flanked by letter trays.

Real sharp! Hope that finds its way to the NNL East!

Great start! Great color choices! And a thumbs up on following the correct line on foiling the side trim. I have seen pics of the foil trimmed on the bodyside style line, and not on the top edge of the side spear, as it should be. Looking forward to seeing this one complete!

Got this at the LHS w/ a 10% off coupon:

I don't usually bother with resolutions, but if I did, it would be to finish a model. For the first time in over a decade, I finished nothing in 2011.

Nissan just keeps the ugly coming. Agree, the Cube, and the Juke are classic Nissan. When you see what the manufacturers from the Orient are displaying at the Tokyo Motor Show, this is no surprise. And what's up with that new large van with the BIG snout?

Try using Glad Press'n Seal to avoid overspray. It sticks to the surface. Also may have possibility as a masking medium.

I don't have a '69 chip page, but the '70 is the same afaik at least for Y-1 Which photo color is accurate?

Tommy Kortman built a '40 Ford 'runner, use for inspiration:

And several decades later, their fwd keep the tradition alive.

Dave, that is a great vintage build! Heck, it's better then some new stuff we see out there! Plus a 'Vair pancake!

Like the middle setup. That is how I am hoping mine comes out.

I was wondering if the 2 most popular "Mints"; Danbury & Franklin, ever have a sale?

Right back at ya, George!

Nice haul, Austin! That Lambo was the first model I built as an "adult" back in the mid 80's. Enjoy!

Merry Christmas everyone! And remember... those firm, clear gift blister packs that are such a pain to open... can be tomorrows clear windshield! Just be sure to check for distortion and minimum scratches!

Interesting on two different sets of windows. Are the dark ones tinted, or... black? Photo credit to Gregg.

And you as well!
