I believe that at one time Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland offered the Cal Custom scoop in a set of various scoops, part# P-65

AMT prepainted kit, got it fer Christmas a few years ago. Pretty much outta the box, polished the paint, added foil and sum detail painting. Not a bad kit, kinda fell together.

A few of my mine...

As far as I know no one's ever done a replacement bubble top fer the reissue of the Road Agent. Resin casting a part that size and that shape in clear or tinted resin and getting it right would be tricky. Perhaps a bubble could be vacu-formed using the kit piece as a buck, although I'm not sure if the kit part would survive the the heat of the vacu-forming process. The bubble fer the real Road Agent wuz done in a fluorescent yellow/orange plastic, it would appear more yellow or orange depending on the lighting. I built this one from an original kit and I tinted the bubble to more or less look like the real car.

Dan Gurney's 1968 McLaren M6B "McLeagle". Maxl-Models 1/32 scale multimedia kit.

Thank you fer yer comment. Took about a month or so to finish, I generally take my time and bounce around a few projects at a time...last thing I'm in is a hurry.

I like it!

Thank you fer yer comment. Paint is nuthin fancy...Tamiya TS14 gloss black covered with Testors high gloss clear enamel, both shot outta the can. No sanding or polishing, just waxed after the enamel cured.

Tom Daniel's designed Ice T by Monogram with Hobby Shop display base.

Replica of Gil Ayala's radical custom '40 Mercury.

This is what I use for cleaning my brushes, the Silicoil Brush Cleaning Tank. I have one tank filled with Lacquer thinner and one filled with Mineral Spirits. These tanks work very well, you simply run the brush across the coils and the brush is cleaned and what ever comes off the brush settles to the bottom of the tank. They can be found at Hobby Lobby.

Thank you fer yer comment, paint is a mix of Testors Colors by Boyd Purple Pearl and Kandy Purple Pearl over silver.

Replica of my Father's first car that I built fer him in 1978 when I wuz 19. AMT's '40 Ford Sedan pretty much outta the box.

That's pretty cool.

Thank fer yer comment, I tried to replicate the real cars shifter which wuz an "Old Tap" beer brand tap handle.

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.
