  1. Nice stude in a beautiful color. The background is supercool.
  2. Nice and clean build, good choice of color. ?
  3. Somehow I missed that one. Great model and when dodge introduce this model, my first thought was, finally a worthy successor of the late 60's line. Great build.
  4. Beautiful model. I like the color and the realistic wood grain.
  5. A fine rendition of a classic we don't see too often. thanks for sharing.
  6. Outstanding model, I like the details, great craftsmanship. Perfect replica.
  7. Beautiful lot, color wise , I love the first one. ?
  8. awesome R/T and perfect color. Beautiful engine too.
  9. Thanks to all , Johnny, You have a keen eye for details, not many people noticed that. A shame that AMT never fixed this, a simple decal would have been an improvement. I simply drilled out the vents and added very fine pieces of stretched sprue, a little black paint for shadows. Simple but effective. Nice catch BTW. regards,
  10. Thanks Bill, I use tamiya panel lines, it flows nicely, I also use a fountain pen to apply it. It works great for me. I use either black brown or gray depending of the base color. You want contrast but not too much hope this answer your question
  11. Another 4x4 conversion. Drive train from Chevy snow plow from Revell o gram. I went for a satin finish black green bad guy look. I have the newly issued coca cola and I haven't decided yet what to do with it. thanks for looking.
  12. Simple kit but perfect to put on a shelve. Box stock. The paint is Tamiya acrylic Titanium gold with a few drops of copper and metallic brown. Ts 13 to top it off. I like to build those oldies, they maybe simple but they look great. thanks for looking.
  13. supercool Cobra. The first photo could be the cover page of a car magazine. Really gorgeous.
  14. Excellent weathering, you picked the perfect color to show the rust. The rust , grime and dents make it a perfect used truck. This my favorite body style dodge pick up.
  15. That's an awesome build. At this scale , it certainly could pass for the real thing. Nice photography too.
  16. Wow Brian, that's one beautiful model. My all time favorite CO. You did a super job on this and the outside shots make it even more realistic. I really enjoy your builds. thanks for sharing.
  17. Now that's something we don't see everyday. Very cool subject. I like the discrete livery. Great work on the mods.
  18. Beautiful Mustang, would love to drive this for real. Great choice of color and the finish is really smooth.?
  19. Welcome to the forum Mike. Hope to see your work soon.
  20. Great looking Ford, beautifully photographed too. I build more and more models using Fireball tires, they look so real and they fit on almost any wheel. Outstanding job ?
  21. Paul, I use Tamiya panel lines, this model was done when I stated to use the stuff , nowadays I tend to use light brown for light colors and black for darker colors, I think that while still a nice model , i should have used light brown for the panel lines to lessen the contrast, ah well, that's how we learn , right ? BTW thanks for the kind words.
  22. Thank you all for your comments, I really appreciate it.
  23. This is a recent tooling and it shows, the build sequence is a little different than what I am used to but the instructions and design make it easier. The first photo was my inspiration for this build. These were not designed to look good but for functionality. Somehow , I find them to have a certain appeal. I guess I'm a sucker for odd ball vehicles. thanks for looking,
  24. Thanks guys , for this one I used Tamiya gray primer, their primer is really fine it lays smooth, I don't have to sand. For lighter colors I use their white primer. A little pricy but well worth it IMO. Thanks, Agreed, this one is on my must have list.
  25. A simple but fun kit. I must have build at least 6 of these when I was younger, this is the only survivor that I rebuilt recently. The color is Tamiya TS 44 brilliant blue. Probably never offered in this color, but I think it looks cool. The only thing I might change are the wheels and tires , Fireball Modelworks Mopar Rallye wheels would look great on this. Regards,
