happy grumpy

Awesome looking truck. That bright red really pops. Just beautiful.

Well you built a very nice little truck there Harry. Everything is so clean. Despite all the troubles, you ended up with a real nice Chevy.

Beautiful piece. The set up is perfect for as it shows the car in it's natural habitat. The weathering is spot on.

This is what I call dedication. This is a testament to your talent and craftsmanship. As Michael said , this is a museum worthy piece.

thanks James. Thanks Tommy. Thanks Chuck. Yes , you would see a lot of these back then in camping parks. Thanks Keith. Thanks Mike. Thanks Andrew. Thanks Chris. Thanks Jeff. Looking forward to build those. Thanks Carl. Thanks Ricky. The paint is bright red Tamiya (TS-49) Thank you Oscar, Moebius kits go very well together but because there were so many warped parts, it complicated the process but in all it turned out ok. Thank you Steve, The color is Tamiya bright red TS-49. The camper was done from mostly photos from the web and a very nice side drawing which I blew up to 1/25 scale for reference. Thanks Matthew.

I have build a few of these but this one was real hurdle, a lot of parts were warped, frame chassis, box hood , I suspect the parts were removed too early, some of them were like yellowish. The camper is scratch built using mainly evergreen styrene and aluminum tubes for the ladder, I wanted to make this as an old beaten up camper fitted over a brand new truck. Definitely not my best work but, hey, win some , lose some, right? Anyway here it is , warts and all. It took a lot of CA to hold all those warped parts and if that glue ever gives, this kit will pop in all directions. Warping aside, my main gripe with this kit is the headlight bezels, how could they get this so wrong? I guess there must be a reason for it. Anyway, Moebius has got it right more times than not ,so , fair enough. I'm just glad they did those beautiful kits. As usual, thanks for taking the time.

Very cool model. Brought me back to that flip in the JB movie .

I have a sweet spot for these, having own one many years ago. I like the color , super clean.

Well, that turned out in an outstanding build on all accounts. You did it justice.

Sweet little Ford. You nailed it.

Great model, great car and great job on putting it together. I love the color combo.

Beautiful build. The 90's taurus is probably my favorite car of that decade. It looks just as good today as it did back then. Awesome job on the build and photography.

This is a challenging kit for sure, I've had this kit for 6 years and I keep putting off. You did a great job on it. The colors look great and the interior is awesome. Might give me the push to start mine.

That's a superb build Anders. Very well put together and that paint job is stellar.

A sweet blast from the past . Great work.

Something different. Having been raised on a farm, I wanted to have some tractors in my collection. I already have "le petit gris" and the Porsche (which appears in the last 2 photos). I went for a dirty look, what good is a tractor if you don't use it 🙂. Build is stock, the weathering is mostly Vallejo mud and dust. This kit is very easy to build since it more modern than some older Heller kit. Had a lot of fun putting it together. The shack is scratch built with balsa wood and corrugated craft paper. Thanks for your time.

Welcome to the forum John. You're in the right place.

Beautiful build. That green looks very nice. Looks very cool with the top on.

I like the nice contrast of the colors. That red looks like it's gonna burst into flame. 🙂

A beautiful build Tony. The color looks great with the white stripes. I am building this kit right now and it's a joy. Great job !

You skills either at building or photographing were already very good. The photos are quite good actually and those old Jo-han kits might have lacked details but their body accuracy were almost always spot on ,and this before modern scanning equipment. They had subject mater that practically never came back. I miss those Jo-han models so much. Cherish your old models and be proud of what you did back then because it looks very good even today. Thanks for sharing.

Great build . The gritty dirty details add to realism. I like the cracked dashboard. So common back then.

Very cool build. The light blue fits the car and the period. Great work. I like the black grille.

Awesome car and model. Lamborghini always had outstanding designs. A worthy descendent of the countach !. Great photography BTW.

"This one might be my favorite to date." And for good reason ! Well, it's certainly the most striking color theme I've seen on this kind of build. I just love it. The build, the details, the photography. You just nailed it.
