  1. Wow Bill , I just love this. The way you integrated the different parts is awesome. Some serious craftsmanship here.
  2. Bought this at a swap meet for 10 bucks a few years back. After spending time on other projects I kind of forgot about it. After the box fell off the shelve, I took it as a sign to build it. Nothing fancy. I did not put too much time on it so the details are minimal but i looks ok. Paint is Tamiya metallic green over a silver base coat . I added goofy eyes clear plastic over the head lights to enhance their appearance. Thanks for taking the time to look.
  3. Great looking Grand prix. I like the details on the seats.
  4. Great take on the bug. The trailer was a nice idea to re-purpose the unused parts. Great project, makes me miss my beetle even more.??
  5. Looks very cool without the trim. Great job on the two tone paint.
  6. That is one awesome piece of work. Very impressive and so realistic.
  7. Great build, I like the truck and the kit. Nice job.
  8. Great looking build. Great color and I like the look you gave the bed liner.
  9. great rendition of an iconic car in an iconic movie. Great job Gustavos.
  10. Don't be too hard on yourself, you did a very good looking build. The interior and the paint are gorgeous. Sometimes, you build a kit and everything goes wrong ,sometime later you build it again and, everything falls into place. Happened to me more than once. (AMT 1970 1/2 camaro comes to mind). That dashboard looks super nice BTW.
  11. Sorry about this but Glad you're back and on your way to recovery. Take care of yourself . Be well buddy.
  12. Excellent job on the '' true Mini " . That glossy paint really shines.
  13. Great paint job and build. Haven't seen one of these in a while.
  14. Thanks Mathias. Thanks James. Thanks Steve. Thanks Larry. Thanks Jeremy. Appreciated. Thanks Harry. Thanks David. Agreed, may not be accurate but it certainly is plausible. Thanks Steve . I appreciate it. Thanks Carl. I like your avatar picture . I'm a big fan of Bullitt and Steve Mc Queen. Thanks Greg. Great idea. I'll dig in the part box . Thank you David. Thanks Chris Thanks Bob. I wanted to build an ambulance for a long time. When AMT re issue the kit . I got right to it, took me a while though. Thanks David. Thanks Ratislav. Thanks Terry. Thanks Donato. Agreed, I would not mind being in the driver seat but not in the back on a strecher!? Thanks Steve.
  15. Another flawless build Claude . You have a knack for this kind of build. Great paint finish too.
  16. Whatever the issues were, it doesn't show. This is a beautiful build. I have this kit and I can't wait to start it. I love the dark color and the nice interior.
  17. Great rework on this classic. The bright yellow really makes it shine. I wish Moebius would tackle Dodges from that era. These were fabulous designs.
  18. Cool charger. AMT got everything right with this kit fitment wise. Maybe ERTL has something to do with it. Regardless, great job on the engine too.
  19. Beautiful. For their age these kits are pretty good . Excellent job.
  20. Not meant to represent a specific vehicle. The AMT kit does not have a real ambulance top since these were higher to give up more head room. I modified it like the later Cadillac models in the seventies. A what if build if you will. Had a lot of fun. Not exactly what I intended but overall I am pleased with the results. The decals are from different leftovers . I left the kit's wheels because they look just cool. Thanks for looking,
  21. All that extra hard work was well worth it, this a beautiful piece. The JPS livery was always on my favorite.
  22. This is awesome. All that hard work paid off. The photography is perfect .
  23. Nice Lotus, great choice of color. The Maserati is cool too.
  24. Nice build and I agree, this challenger kit is ...well, challenging.
