    2023 Builds

    Great work....
  3. No question the AMT 70 1/2 Z28 wins for most maddening for least result.... Such a popular car yet such a poorly executed model kit
  4. A traditional great color on these cars.... I remember the local BMW dealership had a duplicate of this in the showroom when I bought my first BMW. Nice build Cheers
  5. My 70 1/2 Z28 and the model I built last year... not my best work but it's not bad.
  6. Nice work on this one... My first car was a 61 Chevy impala
  7. I've started using clear fingernail polish... worked very well and dries really clear Cheers DanL
  8. I think I'm at a point where I might try a 1/12 model... maybe a Tamiya formula 1 car ( Lotus 78)
  9. Thx for the positive comments... trying to figure out what to start on next Cheers
  10. Thank you for the nice comments... it turned out better than expected Cheers DanL
  11. Thx for the positive comments guys... I actually trimmed the outer edges of the inner fenders and I had them glued on with old testors plastic cement. Cheers
  12. My site says "not secure" but I have made no changes. Everything started working properly yesterday on it's own
  13. Generally not a bad kit. Fairly simple and the body shape seems to be pretty accurate. Unfortunately as usual with these kits the trouble comes when chassis tries to fit with the body. That's when all your hard work falls apart as pieces drop off, windows come loose and marks appear in the paint work. This one took a couple of days of hacking, gouging, sanding and filing to get close to fitting together and then you have to go back to repairing the damage. I find that it puts a damper on the enjoyment of the build... it's too bad. This one is painted with Krylon Grape because that's what I had laying around. Paint actually was pretty good until it wasn't. I also dropped it 2mm all around and used lower profile tires. It still sits a bit too high but it helped Cheers DanL
