    Freedom Sticks are a problem for me too. Like when she says, "Another box of ammo?" or "Don't you have a bunch of those already?" The 1/1 car thing needs its own forum for me. This hobby she understands. She is a car gal, so I get a pass at those bad decisions.... Most of the time.

    This got rekindled in 2016 with the purchase of one Pontiac grand prix model after 30 ish years away from building that I purchased at a yard sale. Now I have 40 built, and 185 in the closet, and an entire room devoted to building them. I try to explain that others have so many more than me, and that building, and collecting are two different hobbies. However, she is not having it. She thinks I should back off buying till I get some built. Am I crazy?

    This is my current pile of bad decisions. It is faster than my 87 grand national, 94 and 96 impala ss, or any of my fox bodied Mustangs in stock form and is on par with both of my 09 Pontiac G8s. It is a 2014 Cadillac ATS4 AWD Performance Collection with a 321 hp 3.6 Direct Injected Dual overhead cam VVT engine. 5.4-5.6 sec 0-60, and mid 13.5-14 second 1/4-mile times.

    it be raining 1/8 scale 1985 Corvettes. Seriously I would never buy a duplicate model of this size, but I wanted one that was sealed and got it for a great price compared to the others out there. The one I originally purchased had some body damage that I was able to easily fix. It will be painted a different color. The sealed one will just be clear coated if I ever get the guts to break the seal.

    It is very rare to see a scale model be confused with the real thing, but you pulled it off. Outstanding! The modern take on the tri-power is over the top. Absolutely amazing.

    Great looking M1009.

    That looks incredible. So realistic. The Revell wheels, and decals for the emblems along with the paint work together to make it almost fresh from the dealer.

    The black one is from 1979, and it is 100% complete and unbuilt. The Magnum one was from 1982, partially bult, painted, and missing parts and instructions. The cost of both combined was less than a 1/4 of what a sealed Magnum Ferrari sells for. The Magnum one had a bar code. The Black one does not.

    Incredible job.

    Outstanding.

    Beautiful RX7. One of the best-looking sports cars of all times.
  12. WillyBilly
    Great looking Subaru.

    Three from a local flea market. The engine on the mustang was started, but other than that all intact. The 59 Impala was part of a series. I have the other two. One being a 59 pink Cadillac convertible, and the other is a 1955 chevy convertible. I think the Rolls is going to be a full blown LSX powered, big wheel sled as there is not much in the way of detail on it.

    I love it. I have never seen Rotary shaped wheels before, but it makes sense.
  15. WillyBilly
    Outstanding.

    Outstanding. A few months ago, I was looking to see if a kit, or resin kit existed, and when I came up empty handed, I broke down and purchased the Motormax version in black. I had not thought about detailing it until now. Great work.

    I have a still sealed AMT 1/16 scale 55 Chevy convertible body, tub, frame, hood, doors and convertible boot only. I am looking for the sunroof for the Polar Lights Coca-Cola Beetle or maybe some 1/16 scale Cragar SS wheels.

    Day two of my ebay bad choices. At least I have another B-body.
  19. WillyBilly
    I have the wagon version from MadMan. Great kit.
  20. WillyBilly
    I never win ebay auctions. Last Sunday night I placed minimum bids on 7 with 0 bids about to expire withing 24 hours. I won 6 of them, only losing out on a monogram Citation. Long story short, three showed up today. Like I need another b-body. Can't have too many. I have another 94 Impala SS coming too.

    Outstanding restomod.

    I have put Tesors Wet look clear lacquer over Duplicolor with good results. No need to polish, and it really protects the base coat from almost anything except sunlight, as I do not think testors is UV safe. Duplicolor clear is good too, but I do not think it is as durable as Testors Lacquer

    Beautiful Corvette.
  24. WillyBilly
    Very nice. I like the color. Did you use duplicolor primer, and clear too?

    Great build. Now you need a 64 Mustang convertible and slash the right side of it just like in Goldfinger.
