  1. First, welcome aboard and looking at you nice Bentley I'd say you're off to a good start.
  2. A typical old AMT kit . I don't know if it's a fluke of a feature of the kit but mine had a chassis that did not fit right. The wheels were not centered with the fenders. I had to move the chassis back by almost 1/8. The wheel base was right but the whole thing when put in the locator holes was way too much forward. I just cut the pins and moved it back but now the rear was interfering with the bumper. I did my best to correct it but , well , it's part of the hobby, right? Otherwise it went kind of ok , some minor issues that you would expect from these old molds. I'm just glad we can still have them. Paint is a custom mix of Tamiya acrylics metallic brown and copper. as always coated with TS 13 and a light polish to finish up. It will sit next to the newly re release of the Revell 70 cobra jet which I ordered yesterday. Thanks for looking.
  3. Nice and shiny.
  4. It takes some serious dedication to replicate a car to such a level of accuracy. Very impressive.
  5. Cool looking truck I like the dark blue.
  6. Perfect example of what a snapper can look like when done with care . The black paint makes even more classic. It certainly looks the part.
  7. Nicely done. I like the underside.
  8. Really nice build, I look forward to start mine. Beautiful detailing of the engine bay. Not my favorite Mustang but too good a kit to pass out. I see some Eleanors on the horizon.
  9. Cool superbee, I like those early chargers.
  10. Great work on the general. 68 -69 chargers are my favorite.
  11. Awesome build and detailing.
  12. Cool duster. It looks authentic. A friend of mine had one just like that.
  13. I just love these 71-72 body style. Great job on the paint. Awesome.
  14. Beautiful work.
  15. I like this one. Clean build and great color choice
  16. Great rendition of the camaro. Decals can be a pain. I hate when they break especially when they come from a brand new kit.
  17. Super clean build. The trim is top notch.
