  1. Great build, nice to see it in gold. Beautiful interior. Beautiful photography too. ?
  2. A quick build being a snap kit . built it to reflect the box art. The last 2 pictures shows the 2006 with the 1966 from Fujimi. thanks for looking.
  3. Awesome model and the livery just blew me away. The chrome is absolutely perfect.
  4. Great model, it looks authentic. Your hard work paid off. ?
  5. I'll join in, I've had a few of these and unlike you, some of those ended up in ,,hum in pieces. At least you stuck with it and it really looks good in this color and the wheels look good on it. If you want another challenge, try an old heller kit. One recent kit I did (twice) was the full bumper Camaro 70 1/2. This kit fought me all the way. Patience and perseverance saw me through but , boy, sometimes you're just glad it's done. You've got a very nice model despite what you went through.
  6. Built box stock except for the wheels that I took from the jeep Rubicon kit. I also opened the grill. Paint is Tamiya gun metal.
  7. Oops! my bad. corrected.
  8. Built this a while ago. I wanted to do a Bonnie and Clyde car but for lack of source material decided to leave it simply as a similar 2 door look alike. Acrylics from Tamiya topped with ts 13. I found out later that the actual car was olive green while the warren Beatty 's movie car was yellow to have a better contrast for the bullet holes.
  9. Great looking plymouth, imagine a salesman riding in this in 1941, Awesome build. Great color choice.
  10. Absolutely gorgeous, it looks close enough to me. It may not be 100% accurate but it is 100% realistic, I'll take realism over accuracy every time. You just nailed it.
  11. It certainly look the part. The main thing is that now, you can look at it and bring up that memory. Good job on the engine too.?
  12. Being a big VW (60's) fan, I try to build as many iteration as I can. I build it box stock 'cause I really liked the livery. The building sequence is a little different though, The body is multipiece affair. It builds up quite nice despite the separate body parts. The doors are functional but certainly not for extended use. I just left them opened .Once finished it gives satisfying results. as always, thanks for looking.
  13. From the supernatural kit, I always liked yellow taxis so I had to have at least one. Decals from gofer, wheels and tires from fireball modelworks. Taxi sign made of styrene. Tamiya camel yellow cleared with TS 13. thanks for looking.
  14. Really well put together, the trim is nicely done and the color contrasts well with the interior. I like the background too.
  15. A great looking pete and anybody who builds AMT big rig kits feels your pain. I wish round 2 would at least update the instructions when they re issue those kits for the sake of first time builders. You did a great job on it and it still looks pretty darn good.
  16. Beautiful color, I like the discrete light green accent lines.
  17. I like everything about this build, The color , finish, stance and the detailed engine bay is just awesome.
  18. From where I sit , I'd say you nailed it because it looks pretty close to the 1;1. I love the flat black finish.
  19. Very good looking GTX. My first car was a 72 satellite and I have build 8 of these kits. This is my favorite Mopar of the 70's. Nicely built and detailed and the color fits this car perfectly.
  20. Nice little bug. Even in this scale it looks well detailed.
  21. That's a beautiful t bird, I use tamiya acrylics too for some of my builds and they work really well once you get the hang of it. The outside photos are really making it pop.
  22. Beautiful and interesting.
  23. nice, I like the color and the finish, awesome look.
  24. Great looking mustang, I like that deep blue . great job.
