Got the 51 Henry J Gasser completed. For me, this was one tough cookie. From the rear end, the doors, and the tilt front end it had it's fitment issues all the way through. I'm glad it's done and for what I had to work with I think it came out pretty good. The engine is out of the Revell 1929 Ford Roadster kit. It was primed with Tamiya primer, Tamiya TS-56 Brilliant orange for the top coat, and TS-13 Clear. It was slightly wet sanded then polished.

Good looking little Roadster there Mike. Nice work so far.

Interior is looking pretty good there James.

That is a good looking 59 Chevy. As others have said, the classic black with red interior just looks really nice. I aways loved the look of the dual antennas. Great build.

Thanks Joe. Yeah, this is diffidently not your beginners build. Two major issues I ran into were getting the rear end set in the correct position and getting the tilt front end to line up with the body when it is closed. There are other issues but those two were the worst.

Thanks Carl. To get those big ole decals to lay down nice and smooth was a task for sure.

Not much goes on in my head about my next build. I normally grab a hot cup of joe, head out to the garage, set in my chair and look over the stash.

That's one nasty looking Bugatti. Really sharp looking. Well done.

You've got one fine looking 56 Ford pickup John. That Splash paint looks so good. Very nicely done.

Yeap.....its official, its a Looker. The traditional red & white looks so good. Everything looks so clean and the attention to detail is second to none. very well done

Nice looking Z28. The white and blue looks good together. Nice job.

I like me some Gassers. Looking good Dennis. Waiting for my local hobby shop to get Mine in.

That 56 Ford is going to look nice. Just finished a 53 Ford a few weeks ago.

I got the body wet sanded and polished. Also got the front and rear lights and the decals on the doors installed.

I'm really diggin this one. Love the old Moon tank up front and the Hemi engine. Excellent job. Hey....let's get the tail shaft of the transmission secured before it gets fired up. Just a safety check ☺

Thanks for the info Delton. Too much space for me, Just doesn't look right on the model or the 1:1. I want those big ole meats up close to the wheel opening like in the pic.

Hey Delton, sounds like some really good idea's you got going on there. I'll keep an eye out for your WIP.

Thanks Douglas. Good Idea on using tooth picks.

Thanks Dave.

Thank you sir.

Good looking Chevy. I like the 409 in the business was end. Nice job.

Nice looking 57. Black always looks good. Well done.

Welcome to the forum Todd. Nice collection you have. They all look like Quality builds. You might want to post some of your work in the "Under Glass" section.

That's a pretty good teaser there John. That Slash paint turned out so nice. Its a Looker for sure.

Looking good James. Well....at least the missing shock won't be visible on display.
