Revell Rat Fink store display with Rat Fink hisself. In the 60's these displays were made by Revell and sent to Hobby shops with a built up model to show off what the model looked like.

Here ya go...Jimmy Flintstone resin kit.

Polar Lights kit with a few upgrades.

Here's what I use...an old cassette player with a wheel glued into the capstan. Mount the tire, hit play, apply the brush loaded with acrylic paint. The Talladaga and Dart tires have been done using this technique.

My '98 Mustang GT Coupe that I bought new in July of 1998. As of October when it wuz stored fer the winter it has 10,630 miles. The car has never been in rain, snow, salt, or in dirt and is almost completely original. The model is a AMT 1997 Mustang GT coupe modified to '98 specs.

Thank you, very nice of you to say that.

Roth's Tweedy Pie from an original Revell kit with a few improvements and bits and pieces from various sources.

That's pretty cool.

Here's the additional parts included with the kit that I did not use.

Moebius 1/1 scale replica of HAL from the Iconic movie 2001 A Space Odyssey. Made a few changes, opened up all the holes in the speaker grille...that wuz allota fun and added a simple voice circuit. Also fabricated internal structures to support the electronics and contain the power supply.

I like it.

Munster Coach and Grandpa's Dragula...built from original issue kits alotta years ago. Jimmy Flintstone gave me the Herman and Grandpa resin figures.

Thank you fer yer comment, yup, some of Jimmy's stuff can be a bit of a challenge. But not in this case, the master for this kit wuz 3D printed and is quite well done. The kit includes the options for display with the various features deployed or stored such as the front and rear rocket launchers, the front and rear gas guns, the "scanner" mounted in the trunk, the "tire track sweepers" and the various headlight configurations. It's a pretty nice kit. Everything fits very well, for example, the windshield is not glued in, it is set into a very precise channel and simply snapped in. I did change the wheels and adjust the ride height but that's about it, except for the usual resin kit clean up and dealing with the layering lines in 3D parts it went together quite well. Interestingly, the way the kit is designed adding lighting would be very easy and by using magnets and thin metal or pins so the various optional features could be changed from stored to deployed.

Mickey Thompson 71 Mustang Funny car.

Jimmy Flintstone resin kit.

My Favorite...

The UFO from the 1967 TV series the Invaders. This is the SSP reissue circa 1996.

1/32 scale multi-media kit of the Ford J Car by Maxi-Models. Resin body, chassis and interior with white metal and photo etch details.

Thank you fer yer comment, The car wuz a seasonal "White Hat Special" promotion package order and the V5 body side molding may have been included as an "if you ask" no cost addition to the package.

Finished up a replica of my Brother in Laws '69 Charger. Made a few changes to the kit, made up and had cast some pieces unique to this car such as the A/C pump, dash with A/C vents, Torqueflite transmission., modified console with Automatic transmission shift quadrant and shifter, and the pedal assembly for an automatic transmission. This is a "White Hat" promotional package car and also has acoupla fairly rare options, the V5 bodyside moldings and the V21 performance hood treatment. Wuz allota fun masking the hood and adding the rub strip, getting BMF on the sides of the rub strip wuz interesting.

Gettin there...

Tires, wheels and tail light panel done. Got a little carried away with the turn indicators in the front pan. Tire markings are Shabo transfers. R/T emblem on tail light panel is photo etch.

Thank you fer yer comment, the A/C compressor came from one of the AMT '71 Charger kits, don't recall if it wuz the Street Machine or the Stock version.

Interior is finished...
