  1. Wow Dominik, that's a lot of work there. 68 is my favorite charger year. All this work paid off obviously. These are stunning, the amount of details is impressive. My favorite one, color wise, would have to be the white one. We don't see white 68 chargers that often. Really well done .
  2. Bob, i use a canon T3 rebel SLR camera. The lens is a typical 28-300 mm. I have no special skill, I just try to find with right distance, right angle, and focal length and what looks right. I also shoot with a tripod and trigger the shutter via a computer to adjust the settings manually. I also take several pictures which I combine later to augment the depth of field. You can also achieve quite good results with a simple point and shoot camera. I did a lot of trial and error but once you find what works for you, it becomes easier although a little time consuming. hope this helps. And thanks to everyone for you kind comments.
  3. Beautiful build. As building many of the same subject, I plead guilty too, we all have a favorite model that we like to build, there are so many ways you can build the same model, especially hot rods. All the more for us to see. I like the frame shot, not being an expert on hot rod I can only say that it is candy for my eyes.
  4. Build box stock , just a quick build using the kit's decals. I still have one in the stash and no idea what to do with it for now. This kit builds so well, no issues , the only tricky part is the multi piece hood but a little putty and light sanding easily fix this.
  5. Great looking grand prix, really nice details.
  6. Beautiful charger, excellent decal work.
  7. Fantastic look , the weathering is spot on . The underside is impressive. Very well done
  8. Build from the nice Revell kit, the rusty one is stock while the off road is having big wheels from the part box and a dual custom pipe exhaust made of solder and turned aluminum. The fender arches were enlarged to fit the wheels. No other mods were made. The rusty one was my early experimentation to an advance rusted but still drivable bug. thanks for looking
  9. Beautiful bunch, I like them all but the impala's color really caught my eyes.
  10. I will join the chorus in saying that this a superb looking truck. The colors are absolutely beautiful , it really draws the attention. Great collection too.
  11. That's a great collection, I like the "maximum overdrive" truck.
  12. Beautiful autocar, Your workbench is way cleaner than my constantly cluttered workspace. Looking forward to see your completed weathered Autocar
  13. Nice trailer, looks really cool behind that Freightliner.
  14. This a really beautiful kit, don't let the snapper put you off , Revell should have take your pictures to put on the box. It looks much better. The trim is beautiful.
  15. Really stunning, the engine alone could be a kit in itself. Great job overall, simply amazing.
  16. Good looking blazer. Always liked those square bodies. Nice build
  17. Now that's the kind of build that draw my attention. Superb job on the weathering. Very well done.
  18. Great work . great conversion and attention to details. I also like the color.
  19. Can't go wrong with 57 Chevy, the color is really nice and the build is perfect. The trim is flawless. I dig it.
  20. Nice looking build, as others have said the color combo is spot on. Good job on the details.
  21. Nice and clean, with a little love, a snapper kit can build into something really nice as you demonstrated here.
  22. Great save and nice paint scheme. Great job.
  23. Great build, the white looks like glass, really goes well with the red interior. I like this.
  24. I really like those old fat fenders even more when they are build as they were back then. All 3 look absolutely gorgeous. Having buid the sedan, I had the same hood gap problem. I might go back to it one day since I don't like the way the paint turned out. Having seen yours might give me the final push to do it though. great build and perfect color choice.
  25. Beautifully done, she looks gorgeous in those colors and the photography is great. I like the backgrounds it adds context to an already beautiful model.
