  1. Beautiful paint and decaling, nice detailing under the hood, great model! We don't see enough of these type cars, keep them coming!

    They don't get much better than this, well done.
  3. X2! I really like this a lot.
  4. The best advice I can offer when doing a NASCAR is take your time with the decals. The correct suspension and all are nice, but when it's on the shelf what you see is the body. They are moving billboards after all ! I've done dozens of both the Monogram and AMT kits, which is what got me back to building in the '90s. Start with good decals, either kit or aftermarket, and familiarize yourself with using some type of setting solution. Search the tips forum for topics on decaling, it's every bit as difficult as laying down a good paint job. It takes practice like anything else, I've got a box full of less than stellar builds to prove it.
  5. You had a prolific year for sure, all of them nicely done! I'm partial to the Oldsmobiles
  6. Nice! Junie Donlevy is a name from the past!
  7. Nicely done John. Silver is hard to pull off.
  8. Most motorcycle kits are 1/12 or 1/9 scale. They are roughly 5-6" tall. I think the bigger scales allow a lot more detail and better looking wheels. Spoked wheels in 1/25 are not very realistic unless you make them yourself.(something I have not tried but will on some unspecified future project )
  9. I agree with all of the above, great model!
  10. I like it! That Monaco is not a bad kit other than the too wide tires.

    Great start.
  12. Outstanding model, clean build. I would like to see the set as well. Rob Hall was a hero of mine back in the day.
  13. " Perhaps not quite as good as the AMT 57 Corvette. " I have the AMT/Ertl '57 on the bench right now and near as I can tell it's the same kit. It must be an older issue as the one I have does not have those tires?
  14. Very nicely done! Great paint work. Has anyone done a thread on how the Revell kit stacks up against the Tamiya?
  15. Not a fan of the wheels, but that's a great looking model!
  16. Great looking "coke bottle", one of my favorite years as well.
  17. That's a beauty! I have one of these on the bench right now, hope it comes out 1/2 as nice.
  18. Count me among those who enjoy foiling. It can be nervewracking but the results are so nice. I love this big land barge Buford, great color.
  19. X2! Love the color.
  20. Well done, nice color combination. As the former owner of a '71 I too, love this generation Monte. I was ecstatic when this kit was released and have built a couple and have a couple more in the stash. Thanks for sharing.
  21. Great eye for the details Greg, I'm watching with interest. Beside some hair and ink, you don't look any different !
  22. I like it!
  23. X2, great replica!
  24. Never seen one of these built, looks really good. The decals look good to me
