    Best of luck. I am pretty sure I used 1/87th scale...because I didn't want "big" diamond plate so I choose the smallest I could find.

    I am pretty sure this was the 1/87th scale....

    Well....I'm still scratching my head on this too...sorry. After digging through my supplies I discovered it must have been a much smaller scale. I found a small piece of what I am pretty sure I used and compared it to a sheet of 1/48th still in it's packaging. 1/48 is close to twice the size. Therefore, I am pretty sure I used the 1/87th scale...which I found at https://www.scalehobbyist.com/catagories/Paint_and_Construction/ps-155-diamond-plate-ho-12-x-7/PLA00091687/product.php?kw=diamond,plate. I sure hope I am not steering you wrong plus I'd like to get another sheet or two. Best wishes...
  6. Well done!
  7. Excellent work on my favorite car of all time! Stunning!!! Up until this moment I've been dreaming of building an iconic 1:1 in Guardsman Blue with White Le Mans stripes, but now reconsidering. However, reality is I still would need one more spot in my garage and one fewer wife!
  8. Thank you. My pal runs period correct, but slightly larger than stock rubber, which are also included. Fun stuff!
  9. After visiting an old pal, I gave him a replica of his 1971 Plymouth Duster as a "thank you" for his (and his better half's) hospitality. He bought the car through the govt. procurement program while serving in the Navy during Vietnam. After retirement he brought the car back up to snuff (including with a few non-factory, but all approved options). Today he drives the prized Duster to car shows all around the mid-west. This was my first attempt at opening doors (with proper "inside the fender" hinges) and trunk. The govt. issued dog tag is there as delivered, on the inside left fender next to the battery.
  10. Clean, mean, machine! Nice job. Great color comb!!!
  11. Not always easy to turn those crazy ideas rolling around in one's wild imaginations into reality....your 69 1/2 (?) Camaro is - very cool, magnificent and the execution is perfect!!! Now you've pushed me to post my '63 /'67 Stingray Restomod. Not as technically precise or as good as your work, but it challenged me and made me a better modeler....and I am still learning. The creativity, freedom and fun I get out of this modeling passion is what keeps me going! Thanks for sharing...
  12. Cool! Nice job!!!!

    Have you tried https://www.plastruct.com/search?q=diamond+plate ?
  14. Chopped the roof of a left-over Fiat Toppling approx. 4 scale inches, stretched the hood 6", reshaped wheel openings, scratch built the chassis, roll cage and coil over shocks, added a couple of wings and called it Plum Crazy
  15. Well done. Reminds me just how humungous wagons from the Big Three were back in those days. Cheers!
  16. Pyle!!!!! Now that's an interesting ride. Nice job. Shazam!!!!!!!
  17. Very nice! Can I have the keys...please?
  18. Very cool! Love the drags. My kind of car!!!!!
  19. Very clean....good job!
  20. Very cool! Nice build....love the subject matter.
  21. Wow...very cool! Amazing creativity in a lot of those wild and wacky mind blowers!!!!
  22. Viper motor, chassis, power train & suspensions. XKE hood bulge, Speedster bumps, Batmobile windsheild and reshaped tail. Giant wing for serious drifting. Name - what a viper and jaguar have in common. Fun creation, but not wild about the wheels...at the moment.
  23. Wow...beautiful. A worthy tribute to your pal.
  24. Very cool...great job!
